IPL - Inter Platform Logistics

by SirPuck

Use IPL Antennas on your Space Platforms to allow them to exchange items when at the same space location, using cargo pods. Transfer items automatically, using circuits and antennas, directly between space platforms without having to send your items to the ground !

How to use this mod

Unlock the corresponding tech. The research will be available once you have access to your first space platform.

There are 3 antennas :
- Requester
- Provider
- Threshold

As a general rule, you can build only one of each type per space platform.

General

You can either connect an antenna to a circuit network, or directly set a logistic section inside the antenna.
Both modes are exclusive.

The instant your antenna receives a circuit signal, it will make it non operable and clear its logistic sections.
All antennas have the same behavior.
All antennas are built exclusively on space platforms.
You can have only 1 of each type per space platform.

Requester Antenna and Threshold Antenna

All signals received by an antenna are summed together. Meaning that if you send green : 100 iron-plate and red : 50 iron-plate, your antenna will request 150 iron-plates.

A threshold antenna will only serve for requests. The signal on a threshold antenna means "The requester must miss at least this amount of the item before trying to request it from another platform."

Provider Antenna

If you want a space platform to be allowed to provide items, you must build a provider antenna on it.

If a provider antenna has an item signal, it will allow it to provide for this specific item. The amount / count of the signal is handled like a provide threshold.
This means that the provider needs to have AT LEAST this amount of the item before being eligible to provide it. You can set it to 1 or whatever value you want.
