linked passive provider chests?

Post by pcg »

I'm looking for a mod, but I am not sure it is possible to even make it. Basically, I'd like to have something like a passive provider chest with inventory linked between surfaces, like a linked-container. UPS-friendly, if possible, of course.

The problem I am trying to solve is space logistics - I am fine with bulk transporting items, and I am fine with setting up transports for standard items such as big mining drills between all planets, but quality introduces so many additional items, and having to either fly to a certain planet to fetch the latest quality-upgraded drills or foundries so I can continue to build gets old quickly. So in the end, I usually settle for using no quality items until I can make everything legendary, or using a teleport mod to quickly grab items from another planet. Both solutions suck.

Ideally, there could be a passive provider chest that I can fill with small amounts of building items on any surface (such as quality power poles, assemblers etc.), and that is available to the bot network everywhere. When I manufacture a new level of item (e.g. rare medium power poles) I could then just put them in there.

As long as I am not using it for bulk transports, that doesn''t feel like cheating to me, rather, it's just not fun to have a hundred different items in small amouints and having to wait for it. Space Age is already too full of things where the game forces you to wait instead of having fun building :)
