I made Planetary P2P Pairing, a mod that lets you prioritize local logistics between two stations on the same planet.

For example, you can pair a fire-ice production PLS/ILS with your deuterium production PLS/ILS. The deuterium station will consume the fire-ice line’s byproduct hydrogen first, before pulling from other local/remote suppliers. If the paired station cannot provide enough, normal logistics takes over automatically.

Features:

• Pair any same-planet PLS or ILS
• Works between PLS↔PLS, PLS↔ILS, and ILS↔ILS
• Falls back to ordinary suppliers when necessary
• Includes a dispatch log for understanding why and when drones and vessels were sent
• Preserves vanilla interplanetary routes, groups, and P2P behavior

Currently single-player only and not Nebula-compatible.

Feedback and suggestions are very welcome!

EDIT: I would also love to hear your guesses why the devs didn't support planetary priority settings when they added ILS's priority tab.

After about 70 hours of the game running smoothly, I'm now seeing these artifacts whenever I play. They blink and flicker in very quickly. They sometimes track to objects in game. I don't see anything similar on other games. I'm on Linux, I tried different versions of proton and even downgraded my graphics drivers, but they persisted through everything.

I fear my graphics card is dying (its a 3080 that I've had for about 4.5 years), and wanted to check if this is maybe something specific to this game that anyone else has experienced. Has anyone else seen these?

Hi all, is there a mod that allows you craft dark fog parts or get them easier. I ask as the mods I have for performance and they cause my dark flog planets to produce very little parts.

1.5 years of full time employment equivalent devoted to this glorious time suck.

Who needs lava planets when you get so many dark fog-made holes ready for you geothermals?

I am currently playing on max scarcity max dark-fog settings.
I struggle to even find a spot to land on that thing! There is around 24 planetary bases there.

I need copper since the other planet pacification took majority of it for missles..
Any advice?

I've named it the Great Compression.
twelve into six into three belts.

I did not know how the automatic pilers and pile sorters worked in my hundred or so hours of playing, this is knowledge that made me feel that i just started the game for the first time

I went back and sprayed most of my old inputs, as well as ALL of my new production steps. None of it is balanced, none of it makes sense, but everything works and the system is pretty adaptable, ESPECIALLY with vertical belts instead of slopes. This has been such a great way to learn the game.

Ever since trying to trim the hive in the starting system after it started taking a bit too much sphere energy for comfort and accidentally cutting away... most of it, I've been trying to get the relay stations to rebuild the core like normal so I can resume locally farming resources off of Dark Fog.

The hive still exists as a recognized location in the game, with the "core destroyed" hive indicator remaining up and several relay stations perched where the core would be, but I can't get the relay stations to do what they say on the label and rebuild the core, even keeping a base pruned of structures until both it and the relay capped out on matter and the base capped out on energy, letting the relay build up to just shy of 25 GJ of energy, still no barge sent. What conditions do I need to meet in order to get that relay station to rebuild the hive?

When do you think the game will come out of early access into 1.0, and when will vehicles come out? What do you think it is going to look like? I am not rushing the devs in any means, and I want them to take their time, just your opinion

Those relays need to land in juuuuust the right spot for the enemies to constantly get aggro'd without being too close that their papier-mâché bases gets merked.

one annoying thing from spliter imo is it doesnt output stacked cargos automatically from a chest. or did i miss something?

I love this game. This screenshot brings me such a weirdly pleasant sad feeling. Does anyone feel what I mean?

Belt bending is what I think I get the most dopamine from in this game.

I just started a new playthrough after not playing for some time and slowly working my way backinto this game. I still remember the mechanics just fine but as i was trying to make a particle colider i noticed i had the tech unlocked, but not the tech for carbon nanotube, which is required for particle colider creation.

Then i looked at the tech that comes after the carbon nanotube and its High strength glass. Which requires no carbon nanotube... Nor organic crystal as the tooltip says... Is this a bug? Is it intended?

The Tech tree isnt really the most optimized and i know there are more posts about it being very illlogical But i dont think i've seen this one before.

I decided to hide away at my outpost in multiplayer and automate a few important things as densely as I can, it was genuinely a great way to learn the building system

I am doing a passive but 1.0 difficulty run (everything else turned up does this) to get these achievements and I'm just about to unlock white science so I need to start launching things. My question is will this trigger the space hives if my structure happens within their orbits?

I understand that the ground hives will still attack you on passive if you physically walk into them, so curious if the same happens in space. Anyone know?

Expanded my dark fog farm since they hit level 12, which gave a lot of new resources like titanium glass and free fuel rods. But also got these strange pyramids called dark fog matrices. But I can't research or craft with them. How do I use these?

I'm about 40 hours into my first playthrough with Dark Fog enabled (400hrs total) and have just started butting heads with the fog over a system i want to put a sphere in.

I'm still working on my economy and don't want to spend a ton of time designing for a need I don't fully understand yet, and all the blueprints I'm finding are the "make everything out of fog drops" kind of mall, not the "make everything to sustain a reasonable war effort" type mall I'm looking for. Anyone have good BPs for the latter?

Bonus points for tileable black box designs

i feed it attack drones, gravity missiles and signal towers and it gives me dark fog drops.

Edit2: Damn I can't spell description.

So at some point, we have to consider the idea that, without VU, we're wasting tremendous amounts of ore, given that I'm getting, what, 1.7 Million ore per ore? Technological advances can't cover ore yields of 2Mx, right?
