Cross-planet delivery that just works. Moving goods between planets means babysitting platform schedules and cargo requests by hand. Planet Express does it for you. Enrol a few cargo ships, tell each planet what it needs, and the mod finds the goods, picks a ship, and flies them over — no schedule micromanagement, ever.
Providing the player with new tools or adjusting the game interface, without fundamentally changing gameplay.
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 2026-06-11
Features:
- Ready-signal dispatch gate: a per-ship "Hold until ready signal" toggle in the Fleet tab keeps a platform docked until its hub reads the new "Planet Express: ready" virtual signal above zero. Build whatever readiness logic you want (fuel, ammo, asteroid stock, …) in your own combinators and emit that one signal to the hub.
- The Fleet tab shows which signal to wire and a setup-time readout of the current value; a held ship is flagged "held" on its Fleet Monitor row.
Info:
- The gate is dispatch-only and read-only: it never recalls a ship already in flight and only ever reads the hub's circuit signal.
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2026-06-11
Features:
- First public release.
- Automatic interplanetary cargo logistics: dispatches your enrolled space platforms to carry surplus goods between planets, sized to live cargo landing pad demand. Uses real rockets and real schedules only — never spawns, destroys, teleports, or hand-inserts anything.
- Per-platform enrollment on the Space Platform Hub (Fleet tab), with a per-ship planet allow-list and a "reserve for manual use" opt-out.
- Per-planet Trade tab on the Cargo Landing Pad: reserves (keep stock before exporting), per-item priorities, and a preferred-ship pin.
- Two-way return trips: a returning ship also carries goods the destination has spare and the source still needs.
- Quality-aware cargo: demand, surplus, and shipments are tracked per (item, quality).
- Always-visible fleet status panel in the top-left corner (working / idle / stuck), and a full Fleet Monitor with per-ship routes and a per-planet Demand view showing what is delivering, loading, or waiting — and why.
- Watchdog that frees stranded or timed-out ships and steps back when you edit a ship's schedule yourself.
- In-game Tips and Tricks guide.

- Requires Factorio: Space Age. Gated behind the "Interplanetary Trade Logistics" technology.
