Request items from a particular space platform to planet

Post by dspyz »

I built a whole bunch of space platform foundation on Fulgora, thinking I could just build a new ship in orbit there. When I discovered how difficult it was to deal with the asteroids and also how much stuff I would need, I gave up and decided to ship all the foundation I'd built to Nauvis to build the ship there instead. I tried to automate this process but ran into a problem. I already have a bunch of platforms that spend most of their time orbiting Nauvis and they all have some reserve foundation on them to replace parts that get damaged. If I set a request, I would steal all the foundation from all the ships that _aren't_ working on this endeavor. I only want the one ship that's delivering the foundation to dump them. I can't set it to request upper-bound-0 foundation, because I need it to request foundation when it's at Fulgora, so there's absolutely no way to automate this process. If I could set a request on Nauvis for foundation from _this one particular_ space platform and no other, then I could do this fully automated without completely stealing all my reserve foundation on all my other ships.

(Currently my solution is to manually change the foundation bounds and planet while it's in-transit, and then change them again when it goes back)
