[2.0.76] Space platform requests with maximum sometimes drop items on the wrong planet
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2026 11:54 am
I have a number of space platforms with a section requesting 0 depleted uranium fuel cells with a maximum of 0 depleted uranium fuel cells, from Nauvis - see image 
.
I'm finding that inconsistently these ships are dropping their used fuel cells on other planets they are visiting. There's no apparent pattern where they're dropping them; i've seen them dropped on Fulgora, Gleba, and Aquilo. I've got at least one of these ships going to every planet, but only one going to vulcanus, so maybe it's just gotten lucky so far. The cargo bays on these planets are not requesting used fuel cells. I've caught ships with used fuel cells in the to-drop list while travelling between planets (see attachement
); when this happens I can't get the fuel cell back in the inventory by clicking on it the same way you can if you drop other items.
I have no mods enabled; just Space Age / Quality / Elevated Rails. I've got platforms just hanging around planets with this setup with depleted uranium fuel cells not dropping them; this behaviour is inconsistent.
My expected behaviour is that that configuration would result in platforms dropping all their used fuel cells when they're at Nauvis, and hanging on to them otherwise.
