Planet Express


Cross-planet delivery that just works. GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! 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.

g Fleet taking resource from wrong planet.

a month ago

Fleet taking resource from wrong planet. I am playing with Many planet mods. If I am requesting 5 - Electromagnetic plant to a new planet, the source the fleet is choosing is Gleba, which is completely wrong, Gleba is requesting 20 Electromagnetic plants and currently has 15 in inventory, but those 15 are showing up as surplus on Gleba causing fleet to go there to load and deliver, but since Gleba does not really have surplus, it does not send it on the silo and the ship just waits till its timeout occurs and fails to deliver.

Real bug, nice catch! It was treating a planet's stock as surplus even while the planet was still short on its own request - so it sent a ship to grab stuff that planet actually needed, and it sat there till timeout. Fixed in 1.5.1: a planet that has less of an item than it requested won't be used as a source for it.
Thanks for the detailed report 🙂

Would be possible to instead mark the planet that has the most amount of item needed as surplus as source?
Also, can you add that pressing escape closes the GUI? Pressing on x everytime gets annoying super fast.

Good idea!

v1.5.2 - Esc (and E) now close the Fleet Monitor, no more hunting for the X.

On source picking: the mod already sends whichever ship arrives soonest, and sources from the planet that can fill the most of your request in one trip (nearest one wins ties) - so it's tuned for fast delivery rather than just grabbing the biggest pile.

And in v1.6.0 you can restrict it manually: set an item's Reserve to -1 on the planet's cargo landing pad (Trade tab) and the fleet will never load that item from there. Handy for forcing it off a planet you don't want it sourcing from.

That sounds good. But could there be a toggle in main settings for over all to pick the source as closest/fastest or with most surplus?

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

I've added a toggle in the Monitor in v1.7.0
So you can change between fastest - surplus at any time.

Awesome, 1 last thing (probably not), is it possible to show all platforms in the monitor with checkbox next to them that shows whether they are enrolled or not and the setting can be changed directly from monitor?
