This cool mod addresses exactly the logistic hangup I have found myself in .... almost! It would be SUPER cool if it were compatible with the Logistic Group Combinator mod because then I could finally automate interplanetary logistics! The problem seems to be that the combinator is constantly refreshing and the Planet Request Group refreshes only as you enter orbit. So 1 tick after you enter orbit all the requests go back to their original default planet. I don't know if there is a way of getting under or around that problem but the answer to all my interplanetary woes feels so close!

That's an interesting idea. It might be the simplest way to automate space platform requests.
Unfortunately, Logistic Group Combinator updates every tick (because there seems to be no other way to read circuit network in Factorio) and resets request filters on every tick. So there's practically nothing another mod can do to fix that.
It's still doable, but Logistic Group Combinator needs to be updated to raise an event whenever it changes the Logistic Section. It also needs to respect already set planet filters when updating.
I might take a deeper look at the Logistic Group Combinator and make a PR, but probably not any time this month.

There's also hope that version 2.1 might bring better space platform request management, so perhaps there's no reason to rush this.

Actually, if you wouldn't mind - you can try giving a new mod version a go. It should fix this problem.

Hey. Sorry Im new to the platform and didn't see your response. Thank you for writing me back. I am still using your mod without the LGC (that and AAI transmission are all I am adding to my initial vanilla run). I think it isolated and solved a relevant omission, so thanks. I am also glad to hear about prospective improvements to space platform management. I can see how the contradiction with the LGC would be difficult to circumvent. The Logistic Group Combinator also addresses an omission but presented a real UPS challenge to my rather old Mac. The ability to set a variable that could be read from anywhere in the universe was great power indeed and i was sad to remove it. I would be willing to give a new mod a try to see if it works but again i suspect that I would just run into the same UPS issues. Let me know if there's something i can try for you. I will try to remember to check my messages here.
