As title says, I'm struggling to get the long range delivery drones to work. I have a drone depot set up in my main base. When I'm far away I put down a request depot. I set a request in the request depot, and then I have to go into map view and set the same request in the drone depot back at the main base. Is there a way to link the two together so I only have to set the request in one place?
thanks in advance!
Edit: Damn, downvoted for asking a question. f*ck me I guess :-/
External link →The drone depot in the main base will auto-allocated requests from delivery depots (if the logistic network has the item)
Yeah from the description that's how I thought it was supposed to work, thanks for confirming!
It isn't doing that though. I have to set the request in the delivery depot, then go into map view and set the same request in the supply depot.
So there's no need to link them together or configure specific settings or anything, it's supposed to just work?
If you can send me a save game I can take a look

Okay, I think this should work? I'm not too familiar with Google Drive, but I think I shared it correctly...
It seems to work fine, i tried requesting some construction robots, is there a specific item or location it doesn't work with?
Is there a distance limit? I'm at the island at the lower left of the revealed map. There's not a specific item, it doesn't seem to work with any items. Near the concentrated solar array there is a delivery depot with several items requested that aren't being fulfilled.
(I had tried to connect it to combinators to automatically place requests, but that has been disconnected)
Hmm, it looks like it might be that all the items requested are stored in buffer chests (as opposed to passive providers or storage).
At the moment the request depots are buffer chests also (so for instance, construction robots can use the items to repair walls), which at the moment the mod can't request items from buffer chests. The problem would be, if the long range depot could request from other request depots, you would get infinite loops of request depots providing to request depots.
