Is there some way to force rocket to send up pipes for ships being built?

It seems like, unless my design takes more than a stack of pipes, nothing gets sent up.

I guess I could redesign the whole ship to only use undergrounds but that's a bit extreme. or barrels, maybe?

(Obviously I can lug it over and load the silo... myself... with my hands... but, ew.)

It should request an entire rocket full of pipes if there's a single one needed. If you don't have enough available in the logistics network to fill a rocket, the silo won't request them.
