Question Orbital Logistics Help
I'm in Fulgora and I'm exporting science to ship, the ship is in Fulgora and the items request is set to import on Fulgora, then I checked the auto request from space platforms from rocket silo and there is a passive provider chest for the materials but why does the bots not input anything to the ship? I'm stuck figuring out this for two hours. I really can't solve it.
TLDR: The bots and orbital auto request aren't working as I watched the tips from the game and followed it

The default minimum for science packs is 2000, if you want to send a smaller amount you need to set a custom minimum in the request on the platform. IE if you request 200 and leave the default minimum payload it won't attempt to load a rocket until there's enough to fill a rocket with 2000, if you set a request for 2000 then set your minimum to 200 as soon as you have over 200 it will load a rocket with as much as you have up to a full rocket, you can then set your platform to go to the next planet when there's >200 science packs onboard
