Insert a Processing Unit in the Rocket silo

Post by Mikiheaven »

Hello Everyone! Good Space Age to you :)

I am trying to insert Processing units in the rocket silo (more precisely a stack of Uncommon ones).
But the inserter does not move...
I guess it is because the processing unit is in the recipe for the rocket (Both rockets are already built).
But I want it in the cargo, not in the recipe.
How should I do that?

Thank you in advance :)

Workaround for now is to request it from the space platform hub, and have the silo fulfill those requests.

Thank you!
I didn't understand the logistic request from the silo, but I did it from the space platform and it worked!

I had the same problem, the standard processing unit rocket capacity is like 55000 which is way to big, in the space platform window where you request stuff, when you adjust the amount of a request there is a tick box which lets you set a custum minimal rocket capacity. Just set that to something under 2000 and your rocket can send it up to the platform.

You can't do what you want (insert arbitrary cargo with inserters). You must insert processing units using the option in the rocket silo to fulfill logistics requests automatically, and then you must request processing units from the space platform. There is no other way.
