Space Platform Hub - unload requests

Normally a space platform only drops items when a cargo landing pad or another platform asks for them. With this mod your platform drops items on its own.

How to use

• In the space platform hub, put the trash bin signal into the name of a request group.
• Add requests to that group as usual. They are delivered to the platform like any other request.
• When the platform stops at a planet other than the request's import location, it drops those items.
• Add planet icons to the group name to drop the items only at these planets, even if a planet is the import location (there, only the surplus above your requests is dropped).
• Requests set to "Any location" need at least one planet in the group name.
• You can have as many of these groups as you like.
• Only active groups are used.

What gets dropped

• All items (with matching quality) that are listed in one of these groups, not just the requested amount. Items not listed in such a group are never dropped.
• Only the surplus: if the hub holds more than is requested at the current planet, the rest is dropped.
• Only at planets, and only if "Unload" is enabled for that stop in the schedule.
• The mod uses orbital drops (trash slots) to drop items. These always land on a planet, never on other platforms.

Important: wait conditions

Add an Inactivity or Time passed condition to the stop so there is time to unload. Each drop resets the inactivity timer.
