Remote Logistics Request Table

[Twetch]

Hello,im using logistics pipes for remote ordering item from my storage house and then using trains to move it around( i dont like teleports) so i want ask if is possible to make something like Logistics Request Table where i can put remote orderer and it will show me my storage house items? Remote orderer is nice but you may lost it easily so block like Logistics Request Table will be nice.Logistics pipes is only one mod which has remote ordering and work well with ME network.Also nice feature can be to add to request table (for train) list of selected items what i want to send and than just request them all.Thanks

I like this idea; a pipe that can be 'bound' to a request table so that requests made on the table will go to the pipe instead.

@TomShkurti you seem to have understood the actual request. I instead have a hard time reading it. Could you elaborate more on what you think is the goal of this request?

[TomShkurti]

The behavior would be similar to that of the existing Remote Orderer item- it is 'bound' somehow to a specific supplier or request pipe somewhere in the world, and when an item is requested from the orderer it doesn't go to the orderer's location but instead gets sent to that pipe. However, instead of an item that the player carries, it's a block that gets placed in the world and connected to the logistics network.

I was originally thinking of this being functionality added to the vanilla request table, but I think it's conceptually easier to imagine it as a separate block.

So am I understanding correctly that just a block version of the remote orderer item would satisfy this?

@1n5aN1aC Exactly!

I see the uses as being relatively limited, but it does sound like a good idea!

I can imagine if Minecolonies delivery vilalge can use any inventory at some point as a pickup point, I can show the contents of my personal warehouse to the villagers.

A wild idea: it would be good if i can apply a filter to remote orderer block (to be very honest, it would be good to the item form too), like how AE2 view chips works: make a filter module (or can reuse current basic / mod / oredict module), craft with the orderer / put it into the orderer block. To retrieve the crafted module, put orderer into crafting grid, you can get both back, like how RFTools module system works.

Any chance you guys add this to 1.7.10? and one more tweak shoud be nice if that block emmit redstone signal when i press request button.
