Quick question has anyone seen a mod, where you can set minimum or maximum quantities of good stored ? I am struggling that I have 20 (!) depots full of food at my farm dome and starving colonist in every other dome...

Has anyone created or seen such a mod yet?
 
If you have 3600 food that needs delivering, shuttles, even with upgrades aren't going to cut it no mater which mode you use.

You will have to manually transport it using RC Transports or change the way you set up large colonies. A dozen domes with just one producing is fine, but more then that and only one producer isn't going to work.
 
Only mod i have seen is ones that increase the amount that can be stored. In current early game with two domes set up had a problem with fuel. First dome set up close to a metal deposit. Constructing machine parts. Second dome set up with two rare material and will buy a electronics factory there one day. Between them a drone hub. Landed two shuttles with colonists by second dome and started exporting. But shuttles was not refulling because my three refineries was set up with first dome. So had to set up two fuel depots to get fuel moving but fuel would not move on from drone hub between domes. So transporter had to stop mining metal deposists and haul fuel. Until finish research on building my own fuel refineriers have to use transporter to deliver fuel each time a shuttle lands.
 
Yeah, you need RC transports to actually distribute those food, and overlapping drone hubs with universal depots beside them to help distribute the food among domes.

I hoped that that would happen...but with gigantic domes of 200+ people the drones are not fast enough, and the RC Transports dont haul enough, plus mine is still collecting the random scattered metals... Will have to keep my eyes open...

Would be amazing to have a mod like that ... where you can set it that e.g. 50 food need to be in a depot at all times and it would trigger the flying drones to resupply all depots better....
 
It would be nice to be able to specify a "direction" for depots. For example, when the rare metals are extracted, I'd like to be able to set up the depots so that the shuttles will only pick them up from the source depot and drop them off at the depot next to where my rockets land. (It does this for the space elevator, but only because that depot is right next to the elevator which always wants to "consume" the rare metals.) The same goes for food. I'd like to be able to designate that certain food depots are "sources" and the outer domes' food depots are "destination". It currently kinda works like that now, but I've still had shuttles re-grab food that I've manually transported to the outer domes and bring them back to nearly empty food depots where the farms are. Very frustrating.

Fully agree, a bit more control, besides ON/OFF would be amazing
 
Even just having depot priorities would be super helpful, I'm in the same situation where my agricultural dome's farms are all full of food and the other domes are straving. I have tried having many food depots outside the farming dome and some on the other domes, a few on the farming dome and many on the other domes, many food domes everywhere, etc, and dozens shuttle hubs everywhere, but the starvation continues.

Every other resource is promptly taken where it's most needed however, so I think it's an issue of shuttles not prioritizing food until they get notified of colonists needing it instead of them trying to keep food depots stocked.

I think you need more transports and shuttles. 200+ people domes require their own shuttle hubs, dedicated RC Transport, and two drone hubs with at least 25 drones serving each.

Yeah I am testing at the moment what structures every dome needs to support itself... I just realised that that side of the game (transport logistics) also needs a bit more love
 
Or just drop a farm in each dome. No need to depend on transport then.

Or if you can afford the oxygen hit add a few fungal farms to each dome in case you can't spare the space inside for a farm.

Either of these options will have food produced locally and your drone hub that handles the dome will handle the food as well.

Yeah but that would be a work around. And defeat the purpose I find to have a mega farm some
 
my last playthrough had all the food production in one dome, and probably 4 clusters of domes around the map in all. i think i had like 6 transports always on various transport routes (mostly food out to the outer rim, and rare metals in towards the space elevator).
i REALLY wish the transport route would let you specific 'pick up X here, drop it off here and pick up Y to bring over there'
