When starting on a different planet, is it possible to change the default planet to request for most of the 'general' items? When requesting stuff from a start planet of vulcanus, every single normal item (pipes, inserters, assemblers, military stuff, raw materials) all defaults to Nauvis, so every single request you have to click twice extra to change it.

I'm assuming every item that doesn't have a default_import_location defaults to Nauvis, so maybe add a default of your start planet to every item that doesn't already have one specified by Space Age? Or I guess make it optional, in case someone is starting on a planet they don't intend to build their main factory on?

You don't have it on github so I couldn't suggest a merge request, but something like this in data_final_fixes has been working well for me:

local categories = {"item", "ammo", "gun", "module", "capsule", "item-with-entity-data", "locomotive", "armor"}

for , category in ipairs(categories) do
for , item in pairs(data.raw[category]) do
if not item.default_import_location then
item.default_import_location = planet
end
end

Not sure how I missed this, good suggestion.
I've done almost exactly that, except for the uranium related items and wood / tree seeds in 1.1.23

Sweet! I was just playing around and noticed the uranium too, glad you caught that.

The mod is really working smoothly and is a really nice experience at this point, this is my second playthrough using it.

Appreciate it! It's slowly but surely been getting better over time, thanks to stuff like this.

can you add a toggle for this feature, it overrides the setting you choose for https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SetDefaultImportPlanet

I instead gave that mod higher priority in 1.1.24, no toggle necessary.
