Building a ship that can produce as much as its using right off the bat is almost impossible. I have 26+ electric smelters, with speed 3 modules in them, and I'm still not making iron plates fast enough to keep up with my ammo usage. If I didn't have a buffer to help me test my actual production/us...

This is my setup for now. I have a few free slots, but I still dont like the idea of being limited. This ship really has 1 purpose, to get promethium. Where as my workhorse ship could have used more slots to help stockpile basic items for colonizing new planets. I was making pipes, conveyors, splitt...

I thought you were implying that teleporting items could be exploited more on the planets, than on the platforms. But you cant insert into landing pads, so you could only teleport imported items, which doesn't seem nearly as abusable. I was implying that, because I didn't know you couldn't insert i...

Meanwhile, I found a manual but pretty painless solution. This works even remotely via construction bots. Disable auto-launching rockets Place a requester chest next to the silo (but no inserter) Set the chest to request all the things you want to send to the platform. An easy way to do this: Wire ...

I agree. We need some sort of circuit control over launching the rocket, or at least a "launch when full" option.

Being unable to automate a rocket with mixed quality items (like science) is a pretty big disappointment.

YES PLEASE! I have the same issue with mixed quality science!

Yes please!

Its impossible to launch a rocket automatically once you mix different qualities!

the cargo bays on surfaces can only be placed on landing pads. meaning no items can be inserted into them, only pulled out. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Cargo bays on the surface and on the platform behave exactly the same. They have to be connected to the landing pad or platform hub, either...

And since you cannot use chests on the space platform, I have no choice but to use the main hub, if i want any buffer that is larger than the belts themselves. I really hope they change this, because I'm already limited as is. That’s a hint that you’re not supposed to use any buffers :? Building a ...

This is just my 2 cents, but who the hell cares if you can teleport items with the cargo bays? Your production limit will always be your bottleneck, not the inability to move items to the turrets/factories, so who cares that you can teleport items? Also belts are cheaper and smaller than cargo bays...

the cargo bays on surfaces can only be placed on landing pads. Meaning no items could be inserted into the landing pad, only pulled out. So if the cargo bays followed the same rules as the building they attach to, then you could only "teleport" items that were imported Even then, I cant se...

Is there an way to have the robots place the specific vehicle? Like with its color, and modules in its grid.
