Silo entity name whitelist for space platform hubs

Post by thesixthroc »

An optional whitelist field for space platform hub prototypes, specifying which rocket silo entities are allowed to launch to that space platform, would be very useful.

It would for example lead to modded rocket silos that can supply certain planets for a lower cost, or silos with other special behavior triggered by manual or automated launches to special platforms.

Ideally silos not on the whitelist, if there is a whitelist, wouldn't show the platform in the launch menu and wouldn't fulfill logistic requests for that platform.

To give a little more color to this request, I would like a rocket silo on Cerys capable of cheaply fulfilling landing pad requests on Fulgora by sending down light rockets.

This is currently impossible because there is no way to prevent normal rockets from attempting to fulfill requests on the scripted platform that is managing this behavior.
