i A setting to make satellites stay in orbit indefinately?

a month ago

The title is self explanatory, could there be a setting to keep satellites in orbit forever?

Absolutely - I will work on making that available with the next version. I appreciate the suggestion!

Sweet! Honestly it would make it more realistic given the satellites are in 'orbit'

From a gameplay perspective, I could see that - that makes sense.

The thought process I had initially though, was that it was to be another logistics puzzle to solve/automate; that is, as satellites run out of fuel, or their hardware breaks down, new satellites would need to be sent up - hence them having a limited timespan.

I personally enjoyed setting up combinators to automatically launch a satellite every X number of minutes, prioritizing quality ones; on the other hand though, I get that that may not be what everyone is looking for/wants.
