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.

i [Suggestion] Allow power poles on dredger platforms

11 months ago
(updated 11 months ago)

Dredger platforms allow you placing entities and suggest placing a fullly-functional refinery facility which uses and produces different types of materials. If you want to have many of them, you need to enable/disable port stations, and for this you need circuits. However, you cannot place power poles there and thus you can't wire up different entites unless you use a dummy-chest whose only function is to remain empty (and be a wire proxy).

Upd.:

This is a solution I ended up with:

Dummy chest occupies 1 tile, just like a power pole. So what would be the real benefit on allowing one more type of entity on dredger? the poles were excluded for other reasons

The power pole has a longer wire range. Also it looks better AND allows you view signals on-hover

I guess they probably don't have the signal-on-hover, unless you go into their GUI and hover over the info icon in their circuit network bit.

Would they be allowed on the platform?

Yes, since they are just chests I think
