Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Requesting any item from a planet

Post by el veejay »

In Factorio Space Age, when I try to request items from a given planet, only a few are available. For instance on Fulgora, I can only select the local science pack. I'd like to take some of the items there that are in abundance and fly them elsewhere.

Only a few items have Fulgora preselected as source planet, but you can change that for every item.

FIRST select the item. Then change the sourceplanet.
Beware. Changing the item will change the source planet again.

Thanks for the quick reply. Where exactly do I change it?

Ah...found it at the bottom of each request.

When you add a Logistic Request in your Space Platform there should be a box that shows you the "Import" planet and allows you to change it.
Sorry. Not at home. Can't provide screenshot
