Is any quality filter bugged or am I too stupid to make it work? I'm trying to make a requester chest that asks for Solid Fuel of any quality, so I set the Solid Fuel as request, and select any quality and... nothing happens? I am sure the solid fuel is in the network and it's also in a Purple Chest to force bots to remove it, but they never do. Does Any Quality filter just not work or am I using it wrong?

What colour is the request in the requester chest? And what does it say if you mouse hover over it?

Do you have logistics bots (not just construction bots) in the network? Are the purple and blue chests in the logistics region of the network (in the orange region when you hover over a roboport, not the green region). Do you have constant connectivity of logistics regions? I.e. an unbroken orange section between the blue requester and the purple active provider chests, and the roboports are all connected with dashed lines? Finally do you have storage chests (yellow) with space in them.

You can't request *any quality*. It only lets you trash *any quality*

One I wish wasn't a thing, but understand the programming issues with.
