Not exactly clear without the logistics settings of the parts. That said I do not think the logistics are transitive. It will not request from planet A to planet B through a platform that is travelling between them. I had to setup a platform that asks for then from A. Leaves when full. Goes to plane...

There is no direct concrete but it is not difficult to make if you break things down a few levels. Scrap -> Bricks -> Iron Ore -> Concrete -> Ice -> Water -> Concrete -> Bricks -> Concrete

The bays also allow more orbital drops in addition to capacity. So a few are handy early on to ship everything down you are collecting.

1. One centrifuge for reprocessing. Fuel cells take 1.9 U238 but you can get .6 back. This avoids a few rockets of U238 later. 2. A few furnaces. You need them to make lithium plates. You can also smelt iron, copper, steel from your platform if you need a bit more. 3. A few solar panels. You need to...

To me it comes down to two concepts: Pull demand and small runs. Pulling demand focusing on always having more demand than supply. If you over produce you will always have spoilage. This is different from the common pull method on Nauvis where you always oversupply as empty belts lead to idle machin...

It is very non-intuitive to be honest. I get why they did it that way though. This also means you to choose which direction to extend as you need access on a few sides. There is a similar gotcha on the planetary bays where inverters cannot be used to "put" but can only "pull". I ...

I have a landmass that looks like an inverted C-shape. There is one logisitic network that spans all of it with trains running into the middle area. The problem is that robots take the shortcut which is not covered by lightning rods. Is there any way to avoid this behavior beyond splitting up the ne...

Like the idea. To add another related idea this makes me think about, add an inserter choice to pick up anything with specific spoil settings. For example, remove anything with less then a few minutes or percent left. Kind of like the spoil first/last but numeric which makes more since because stack...

(Easier) Idea #1 - Change the color from red boxes to yellow or something when it is rough ice that can be melted. This would at least indicate the item could go there if melted. Idea #2 - A map/keyboard toggle that shows the locations that can/cannot be built. This would make it obvious when someth...

Idea #1: Show the number of each item that is spoiling over time. Idea #2: Read the average spoilage across the factory per-item. This might also be helpful as a lowest X% instead. Avoid spoilage is key to managing resources and pollution on the planet. Knowing which items are spoiling around the fa...
