PHQ research placing orders wrong?

[juanitierno]

Hello!

So, I'm doing the first research and I built some storage on the PHQ.
It needs 100 advanced electronics and some ecells, but it seems to partition ALL the available storage space as a normal station would and is now asking for 879 adv. electronics and a lot of ecells.
And since it's not gotten any yet, I can't even go into the logistical overview to manually partition the storage to the appropriate number.


While I can wait for it to get some items, and then juggle the requirements for the research/es manually, I think this is a problem that needs fixed.

If the phq does not need the resources for production, it should only place orders for the required amount. Otherwise a lot of newbies will end up with a cargo hold full of expensive wares they didn't need.

Even worse, the PHQ will happily fill whatever storage it has with un-needed wares, and then won't have space for different wares it will need for the next research.

Example:
it requires 100 adv electronics and 1000 ecells.
I give it storage, it buys 900 adv electronics and 16.000 ecells (fills up storage completely).
Next research requires some claytronics, but it has no space to put them, but I still have a cargo hold full of advanced electronics I don't need.

I know I can re-sell the extra materials, I can "kinda" manage all this manually, but it's weird, unintuitive, and I think it should be fixed somehow.
