Freight Forwarding


A small overhaul with a focus on long-distance logistics variety. Transport containerized items across land and sea using trains and ships! First, venture to the edge of your starting island using trains to find lead, then set sail for offshore oil using tanker ships, dredge metallic nodules from the seabed, and recover titanium from other islands. Finally you'll be transporting materials to faraway lava pools to smelt titansteel, an essential ingredient in rocket parts.

b Dredger

First off - great mod - having tons of fun and all seem to work great.. working my way to titansteel now and endgame.
The Dredger seem to be missing data... FNEI can't find it. Max rate calculate crust correctly to 80 pr min so not sure what it is.
Any thoughts on mk2 dredger? 2 craft speed and 2 module slots? would be nice...
Also, platform is ok, but would be even better if central protrusion on all 4 sides where 2 squares wider.

Yes, FNEI is broken and doesn't show the dredging or titansteel recipes. I don't know why and it seems abandoned at this point. Try Recipe Book instead :) You can see all of the relevant recipes in your character's recipe list anyway.

Mk2 dredger - no, the dredging platform is carefully balanced so that you have just enough space to turn the nodules/crusts into containerised ores. If it was faster, you wouldn't have enough space. And I like the protrusion sizes as they are - why do you think they should be wider?

Ahh always liked FNEI over Recipe Book, but got it installed so will turn it on.. and yes found all the data in character info on items.
My crust platforms have 3 chemical plants while actually only need 2... so some more crusts would have been nice... and the platform was just for easier loading on/off ships... works as it is - no issues - except to few sites to mine cobalt crusts - even though I have explored quite a lot... cobalt still seem to be the problem. But setting up platform 4 and 5 now.. so that might help...
PS I do like mods that work at balancing all the mats and production ratios - kudos!

Are you loading ores into containers before loading onto ships? If you are, I don't see how you'd have space for 3 chemical plants, it is tight enough as it is! I'd be interested to see screenshots :)
