Use inactive artillery wagons for this purpose, they can fit 99 shells ;)


Thanks! I thought as well to create a separate network, the classical one interrupts were meant for to deliver just shells or any bulk cargo.

But I ended up leaving as is, because problem with shells was only temporary ...

I already did and tested it. It works really well.

I have set all priorities except science to be linear function of available amount. At target priority = 100. 3 x above target priority = 0. At zero priority = 300.
And for science I have set priority to be = 100 if amount is below target ...

I just wanted to share my findings and see if anyone is interested to discuss in more detail.

The problem statement

Consumption of final products during gameplay consists of defence, science, and expansion needs. Priority of those needs varies depending on the situation. Typical game cycles ...

If anything interesting popped-up, I drove a disposable tank at the problem firing shells and Uranium Ammo: no more problem.


It's definitely a way to have fun :)
Personally I found it challenging to hit a strafer with a talk shell.

I have made a supply network with one train, one supply hub and multiple stations.

Every station publishes its demand over a radio channel. For instance based on its local logistic network unfulfilled requests.

The hub tries and fills the train with everything requested, for instance by ...

The best way I found is very lean and resilient actually.

You need:
1) a spidertron loaded with rockets and equipped with exoskeletons for speed, plus roboport.
2) a railroad encircling the spore cloud with regular stops and an artillery train.

The train goes around, stops and shoots down ...
