FAQ

Q: How do I use this mod?
A: Set a platform hub request and select "Planetary Orbit" from the "Import from" grid of buttons.

Q: Where is "Planetary Orbit" in the list?
A: It appears in the "Import from" grid of buttons.

Q: How do I know it's working?
A: You'll see messages like "Interplatform Requests: Sending Xx item from Platform A to Platform B" and you'll see a robot flying between platforms.

Q: Can I still request from planets?
A: Yes! Just select the planet name instead of "Planetary Orbit". The mod doesn't interfere with normal logistics.

Q: What if multiple platforms need the same item?
A: Each request is processed independently. The mod checks all platforms for available items.

Q: Does it work with quality items?
A: Yes! It matches the quality specified in the request.

Q: Why don't I see a robot?
A: Make sure you're watching the correct platform (the one receiving items). The robot flies TO that platform from off-screen, coming from the opposite direction it flew when leaving the source platform.
