+1 to this, both for more easily setting asteroid priorities, and also telling turrets not to fire at the nest.

You don't even need that many. Just a slight overlap of tesla turrets around your farm.
That is exactly the defensive setup I had before I was completely curbstomped by a giant horde of stompers as seen in my first screenshot. In order to ensure my restored Gleba base remained secure, I decided I ...

1. Other planets bonuses: I noticed you are already on Aquilo, but you seem to have a giant base on Nauvis. If it was me, and I had to bring so many ressources to Gleba, I would do it from Vulcanus. Any reason you didn't do this?

Nauvis is where I have the biggest factory and where I had set up ...

We gradually built walls around all of the important locations.

Eventually, we got a perimeter all the way around our base.

I had established only very basic perimeter defenses, and the pentapods had built very close to my base, so the next step was to get them further away with heavy use of artillery strikes.

During this time, Aquilo also had a minor issue with a few extra barrels ...

Okay, so by popular demand, I landed on Gleba with a whole bunch of artillery. The first thing I noticed was that the arrogant bastards had built a nest right exactly where my main yumako farm had once been.

why is it necessary to keep the request active?

It isn't. The Automatic Requests are normally cleared each time the Platform leaves a Planet. The Platform in your Screenshot does not appear to have a Schedule; I assume it has never left the Planet it was built around.


Yes, it is a stationary ...

This is intended. Platforms will not send items to planets that were requested for construction. If they did, they would instantly send construction requested items back to planets as soon as they arrived.

Okay, that makes a certain degree of sense while there are still pending build ghosts, but ...

Good Luck!

Is this intended behavior or is it fixed? Because some of the replies here say it is intended behavior and others from months ago say it is fixed in "the next release." It still hasn't been fixed.

When a platform has "auto-request missing construction materials" enabled, it keeps requests active for 0 items even after they have been fulfilled. If the platform produces those items, and you would like to deliver them to the surface, these requests prevent them from doing so. In the attached ...

When I mouse over a recipe or a logistic request for an item on my inventory screen, it highlights in my inventory. I would like it if mousing over a recipe or an inventory item also highlighted any logistic requests for it. You can see an example of the normal behavior in this screenshot. I'm sure ...

Thank you?

As currently implemented, a platform can either request materials from other platforms, or it can supply them to other platforms, but it can't do both.


Note that it can do both easily, as long as the materials are different. It's requesting/providing the same item from/to platforms that's the ...

I have a consistent crash in this save that occurs when editing the circuit network conditions on this platform hub. To reproduce, open this save, open the hub of the open platform, uncheck "Read contents" in circuit network settings. The game will crash within about a second. I have 4 logs ...

+1, having it default to all really limits what you can tell your platforms to do.

Oh, I see, a radar can only output a signal on the same color wire it was broadcast on. How odd.

Except that for reasons unclear to me, even though I now have two platforms with radars both set to universal on the same channel, the one does not seem to be picking up the other's signal.

I just realized you can in fact select input with a decider combinator and the everything wildcard.

TL;DR
It should be possible for platforms in orbit around the same planet to communicate with each other and only with each other.


What?
I am trying to implement inter-platform communication for platforms around the same planet. Possible ways this could be done:

Add an "orbit" or "planet ...

TL;DR
Let platform-to-platform logistic requests be set to take from a specific other platform, and let "provide materials to other platforms" provide it to other platforms requesting it from you.


What?
As currently implemented, a platform can either request materials from other platforms, or ...
