[0.12.1] Smart Chest not prerequisite to Logistic chests

Post by Reticality »

When I played the game, I entirely skipped the Circuit Network (unlocks smart chest recipie) research because I knew I couldn't use the wires, but when I got to the logistic system related researches (Construction Robots (passive providers and storage), Logistic Robots (passive providers) and Logistic System (active providers and requester chests)) I couldn't make the various chests because they required smart chests (Which I hadn't researched).

I think Circuit Network should be a prerequisite to Robotics (Robots need complicated circuitry!) so people don't run into this problem with skipping Circuit Network.

Why should it be prerequisite? What if you don't want to use it?

What could you possibly want to use logistic robots for if you don't have any provider and requester chests?
