Easily send your expedition ship to pick you up or explore new realms without having to create interrupts for each location!

(It's also possible to Ctrl-click "Add station" to become "Add temporary station" even without this mod. This sets a 5-second leave condition.)

This mod's keybind is bound to Control + Right-click by default. (Any variant of Left-click will not work.)


Open your space platform in Remote View, then either

  • Open the Space Map, and use the keybind on a Space location on the map.
  • Hover over a planet in the Surfaces list, and use the keybind.

This will add a temporary stop for the platform, behaving very similarly to when you use Control + Left-click for a train.


One important difference is that, if the Space platform is initially Paused, it will wait indefinitely at the temporary stop.

If initially on Automatic, it will wait for 30 seconds and All requests satisfied.
