Assuming I even feel like it's that big of a deal in the first place.Īlso, whether you intended it that way or not, saying that including something like that is just "good ux" is implying that the current ux isn't good, and thus is an insult towards the devs (from my pov). A lot easier then having to manually do so for every request because bots will invariably bring more than the one stack I wanted and I'll have two spots taken up in inventory for each request.

Or in cases where I can't let the flow stop, I'll run a temp bypass. Your best bet is to plan ahead and use your circuit/logistics networks to shut off production of a given item. Personally, if I don't want items off a belt, I handle it the same way as I would pre-bots: I rotate a belt segment prior to the area I'll be working in and let it clear out, then do my work and once done, rotate the belt back. Delete the preset by clicking the red button with the trash-bin. For your personal inventory, you can use logistics robot trash slots to have your logistics buddies take your excess inventory to a storage chest, but for total items in the world, there is no trash feature. Immediately prior to that, manually placing items in the trash slots resulted in bots successfully taking the same items away.

And I certainly don't think we need more options for "only use my personal roboport for blueprints", or even the opposite! (Just making the point right there.) Frankly, I feel like these types of niche use cases are mod territory. This problem only occured when using the auto trash tab. The original request can already be handled by the in game trash options, though maybe there could be ways to improve that and make it easier to use (never used the Auto Trash mod, but maybe if there was some way to save and load predefined trash settings?). This feels less like a "good ux" issue and more of a "I want an option for this niche use case" which easily turns into other people wanting options for their niche use cases, and before you know it, you've got 50-100+ options for niche use cases.
