Make Space Travel slightly more convenient

Post by sarge945 »

What
The current situation is this:

1. Turn off Logistics so that our inventory doesn't get refilled while we're putting everything away.
2. Dump everything in chests
3. Manually take our ammo from our ammo slots
4. Jump into rocket.

This is quite annoying for various reasons.

Here's a proposed solution:

The Rocket Silo should have a special storage grid that is read only (nothing can be added to it), similar to a cargo landing pad, which is automatically shared between all rocket silos on the same surface. When the player hits "Launch into space", their inventory is automatically removed and placed in this grid. Upon returning, they are automatically refilled from this grid. Alternatively, a checkbox can be ticked to "enable container for logistics", which will let bots use whatever was in the players inventory as if it was a standard requestor chest.

This would make going to and from space slightly more convenient because it will automate the process of stripping our inventory, and since it's doing it automatically, there's no need to turn off logistics either because it's an instant process that's done as we hop into the rocket.
Why?
Going to space on a rocket is a hassle because you have to do fiddly inventory micromanagement.
