g Confusion regarding the Reader

25 days ago

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm miss interpreting how to use the reader correctly, currently the reader doesn't seem to be reading (and sending) the construction requirements of the platform its on.
I have the reader placed on the platform and connected to a Requester Antenna from Inter Platform Logistics (IPL) on the green wire, and a Provider Antenna on another platform orbiting the same planet (modded "planet" with no surface but deep space alignment researched) with the required materials, however no items are getting transferred.
I have tried both red and green wires between the reader and requester, connecting the reader and the requester to the platform hub with both wires, with no effect, items still aren't transferred. Using a constant combinator however does work correctly when connected to the requester leading me to believe it's the reader itself that either has an issue or I am misusing it.
I have used /ipl-reset-podbuffer in case that was an issue with no effect, and I don't see anything in the log indicating something is wrong. Using the requester as a display, it is able to detect that the requester does receive the correct signal when a constant combinator is used, however this doesn't occur when using the reader.

I am using version 1.7.2 of the Inter Platform Logistics mod, and version 1.0.0 of Platform Construction Needs Reader, and this is a modded save however removing all mods except factorio base +DLC mods, IPL, Platform Construction Needs Reader, and Metal and Stars (the modded planet the platforms are around) still has the same outcome.

Did you read the description of the mod ?

I have, the setting on the space platform is enabled and has been throughout my usage of it

Hello. Does the platform has needs for construction?
Is the combinator on ? Does the combinator have a section that matches what you see on the "materials needs for construction" of the platform?

The platform does have needs for construction, another platform is around the same location with the required items available. the combinator is turned on, and the construction requests of the platform are not being mirrored in the combinator

I've just relaunched the game and it seems to have fixed itself, no changes were made to mods or settings, sorry for wasting your time, my apologies!

Don't worry about it. It's weird nonetheless!
