List of Space Platforms orbiting a given planet
Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2025 2:03 pm
Request:
LuaPlanet.GetStoppedSpacePlatforms(force?)
Returns a list of Space Platforms currently stopped at the planet (optionally filtered by force)
Reasoning:
There must be some system that tracks this already (for rocket silos, etc). Would be nice to have access to that through the API.
Possible uses:
- alternate platform/planet logistic solutions
- platform-to-platform logistics
- platform-to-platform combat
- platform-to-planet combat (orbital laser)
Current workarounds:
brute-force checking every spaceplatform.location in each force.platforms list
