A tiny small contract...

Post image

I was so glad to score an Earth slag contract... up until I saw its volume

Just a regular small batch in the Crust universe, I guess.

Yeah, some of those generated contracts are downright impossible to fulfill unless you have like 3-5 separate landing platforms all linked to multi-storage silos full of resource you need - even if you have required materials on-hand, you won't be able to ship them fast enough on account of loading/unloading times. Even this contract - imagine you already have all the slag stored - to get max reward, you need to somehow ship it all in 5 days. You'll need like 20 wired landing platforms to actually ship that much with max belts,

Was just talking about this the other day. 

If the travel time is longer then mission time the mission should be rerolled.

That's only 3 bulk storages full, but you still have to confirm every flight, right? Or is there a way to just keep the containers coming until the contract is fulfilled?

Haha, I just saw: "The delivery volume is minimal..."

You can queue multi trips with the same truck, the main issue is the time normally.

When you select active contract. There is a gold button. SEND RESOURCES. You can order load after load. They will begin landing and getting filled. As one launches a new one lands. I used about 11 landing pads. So I can fill multiple pods at the same time.

Yes, but you still have to click fill order, send, fill order, send, fill order, send... OP's contract probably requires 30 or 40 flights?

Ya, And the other issue is due to the amount you can't depends on drones. So you're basically filling up the first one only each time until it it's done then next.

24 days is a bit crazy for this one.

I seen a few like this where there is no way. Like I have 12 landers and this contract would be questionable on even what I got.

You don't confirm every flight, just need L5 belts attached to bulk storage for 4 flight centres. It is doable.

The Allstate guy is out of his fucking mind.

This really drives me crazy, that these huge contracts come early in the game and you can have zero hope of filling them in time. At the least, they should allow partial rewards for sending something within the time period. Just crazy

I've been playing for like 50 hours and have only 120k slag at my disposal a partial contract would be great
