g Bots enter a loop

27 days ago

Hi, Firstly thank you for this mod it's a great alternative to space platforms.

I notice that bots on the same surface will still fulfill requests to interplanetary requester chests, this causes an issue if I, for example, want to send a bunch of tungsten from Vulcanus to Nauvis, then take them out to a normal passive provider chest to make them available for use on Nauvis, the bots will simply loop back and forth between the passive provider and the interplanetary requester chest.

Is there perhaps a way to implement a selector as you have on a space platform where you can explicitly choose the importing planet? This might be sufficient to break this loop but I am also not sure if it's even possible.

Am I just using the mod for an unintended purpose or am I missing some obvious solution? Thanks!

As a workaround to this issue, setting an enable/disable condition that always results in the chest being disabled achieves what I had in mind.

The mod does not seem to care about this flag it will still transport items from other planets, but bots on the surface won't interact with that chest at all.
