Can't put blue proccesing units inside rocket silo

[Grande]

Automatically it puts chips into craft slot, how can i put it in the rocket invenotry?

[Grande]

By inserters i mean

[cswiger]

drag-n-drop 'em into the inventory slot.

I'm already flew to volcano planet and left reaquest chest near the silo, i can't fit it inside

You can’t put them into the rocket inventory with inserters.

:c

That's one thing in SA I'd like for devs to fix - let us use inserters to get rocket component materials into rocket. I doubt that was meant to be like this, maybe they just overlook this case. Let's see what will happen in nearest patches.

Why do you want to insert them with inserters in the first place? You can just put the silo on automatic mode and add a request for blue chips to your plattform in orbit. Your bots will deliver the requested blue chips to the silo and the rocket will automatically launch with the chips.

more or less what soulfreezer said. I got it to work by requesting it in the platform in orbit, but the catch was I had to request enough to fill a full rocket to get it to trigger. it was 300 or 400 blue chips

The request itself can be for any quantity. You could request 50 blue chips only and get some delivered. I'm saying "some" because...

The thing is, by default, a rocket will only be launched if it can be launched with full cargo. So by requesting 50, if you have 60 already, nothing will happen. But if it drops to 49, then a rocket will ship 300 more. Which might be more than what you wished for.

You can fine tune minimal delivery size to less than a full rocket. As in, set a request for 50, set minimum rocket load to 100, and you'll never have more than 149 chips at the platform.

Or set a request for 951, minimal delivery to 50, you'll never have more than 1k.

You can specify the custom minimum payload on platform request list. Then if rocket is build and said item and amount is present it will launch rocket.
if you want ot use inserters to feed rocket silo with export item you can't have Automatic request from space platforms active.

Rocket is single item type only for auto launching in any mode. Hope this get changed.

Using bots requires you to use inserters to move the items into a logistic chest. Why not just move those inserters next to the rocket and save your factory some energy.

There might be reasons why not to use automatic logistic system, for example if you want to keep certain amount of circuits on Fulgora, e.g. for scrampling to green and red circuits. I have made it by a second logistic system and use belts to move it from main logisitic system to circuit export logisitic system.
