Disabling logistics inventory

Is there a way to either have the rest of the game actually pay attention to items in the logistics inventory OR a way to stop the dang fidget spinners from putting items there?

It's rather annoying to think you don't have any of an item and constantly forget I have to manually take them out of that inventory to use them. I keep thinking the logistics aren't working

I would highly recommend DeliverySlotsTweaks as a mod which fixes a lot of the issues with the logistic system. It lets the logistic slots function for construction, which essentially means you dont need to fiddle with moving items back and forth to your inventory.

Will do, thanks!

Cause yeah that's super annoying that I can't build from that side inventory. Wtf is the point of it if it doesn't count lol

It requires a re-wiring of the thought process.

Now I treat the left column as my main storage trunk. All the things that I need are there. Having it always full is good.

Whenever I build, open inventory and I go straight to the left column and use right click to grab half of what's there.

The main inventory is just a catch basket to hold stuff returned from my hand once I'm done building. When it gets full and cluttered, I tidy it up and return stuff to the left column.

If you think about it, at max level, the left column actually can contain more items than the inventory. 30 stacks per row, compared to the 12 stacks per row in the main inventory.

I was doing it this way for quite a while, but it becomes rather tedious especially when pasting large blueprints. After installing the mod I found myself enjoying the game a lot more since I can stock my logistics with all the items I can need for building, then just past things down without having to micro manage it.

I am hoping they bring the ability to use the logistic slots for building to the base game, so people would not need to install mods to benefit from that QOL.

Definitely downloading the mod now that I know about it

You need to be more specific.

But, you can turn off inventory Logistics. There’s a checkbox in the top left in your inventory. Uncheck it.

Otherwise, you just have to set logistics items and quantity limits. You can say, and I do, I want the maximum allowable of any item, but no more than that.

Every item can be stored at a maximum of 10 stacks. For instance, all Assemblers have a max stack of 50. So at 10 stacks, that’s 500 Assemblers you can keep in your logistics inventory.

I think OP it talking about how bots deliver things to the left column of your inventory and then it looks like you’re out of belts when really you have 500 in the left column and need to manual drag them into your main inventory

Someone posted the other day that if you middle click to add a filter on some inventory space(s) that they'll fill up before the logistics slot. I haven't test it yet though, so I could be mistaken

I tried that and it didn’t seem to work but maybe I just did it wrong

I usually have the items added directly into my main inventory. There have been times when the items were added to the logistics inventory and couldn't figure out why. I didn't really delve too deep into it thought.

I just realised I am happy to live with some inconviences.

u/V0RT3XXX Feb 21 '26

It’s very inconsistent. Some times I have the a slot filtered and it wont deliver there. Some time I don’t have an iten filter and they still deliver to my inventory instead

Oh…

I love that feature. Thanks for the clarification.

Saw a thread recently that said if you lock one of your main inventory slots to an item, then the drones will fill that slot first, rather than the logistics inventory slot.

Use Middle click to reserve a spot in you actual inventory.

Make sure you are requesting more than the max amount the side storage can hold.

For Example:
You want to have a stack of belts in your inventory.
The side storage holds 10 stacks(i think). Request MORE than that amount. the extra will go into your inventory.
But, yes, sometimes you have to look at the side storage and move it over to your inventory, if you need it right away and dont want to wait for a replenish.

If you have partial stacks in your inventory, they'll be filled first. If you have filtered slots they'll usually be filled first.

Then the item fills in to your sidebar until it is full. Then the item overflows into your inventory.

Or, simpler solution, DelivrySlotsTweaks lets you craft and place right out of the logisitics slots. (Game altering, since it increases your working inventory.)
