So you love having bots automatically getting you stuff, but are fed up with overflowing inventories and lots of clicking?....

Introducing the Logistic slot manager!

  • Uses the games requestslots and trashslots
  • Easily create presets once! and reuse as you wish
  • New and improved UI, made to be kept open while you work.
  • White = Idle, Green = Requesting items, Red = Trashing items
  • If same item is being requested in one preset and trashed in another, request has priority.

So you want to build an outpost? Set presets for Trains, Oil and Power to Request
Need more power? Simply set preset for Solar or Nuclear to Request
Inventory full? Set presets to Trash and watch the little robots do your bidding.
