Warping Issues
So I've reached a stage where I require the resources of other solar systems in order to aid production.

However, it takes hours for resources to find their own way to my home system by logistics ship. Easy solution, I gave the ships at my home planet warpers. That doesn't work though because the ships are leaving the other systems, so obviously that doesn't work. So I started a warper importing logistics chain for the other systems, but since they don't have any warpers it will take them hours to receive them. Fine. I brought the warpers there myself and loaded them into the interplanetary logistics centers, then told them to require warpers to transit. The problem though is that now they just won't go. I tested for any other issues by no longer requiring warpers to transit, and ships immediately began taking off for the long voyage. So for some reason, despite having over 60 warpers inside of the unit, they're not recognizing the warpers and initiating travel. But they travel just fine if I don't mandate they equip warpers. Am I doing something wrong?

My growth is severely hampered by this problem.

There is something wrong there. In all of my interplanetary stations, I have 4 items going out and slot 5 is for warpers. And I set it to 100 as a demand and this seems to work fine for me.

I have warpers in the home system set to export. The destination system is importing them. When warpers aren't required for travel then the transaction begins and the destination is set to receive 200 warpers. I even brought a whole bunch there myself just to make sure they had them already, and the ships still won't go.

Try deleting and re placing it. Does it have power?

If it didn't have power then the ships wouldn't be leaving and returning. I cannot delete it, but I placed another one next to it and did everything the same, and got the same result. I'm wondering if there is a certain number of logistical ships moving at regular sublight speeds that I could get a decent average arrival time on ships.

If you can post a screenshot of your setup, it might be easier to figure out what's going on. I have no trouble sending warpers to other stations, and they have no trouble using them.

There's a chance that if they're not using the warpers, you might have your settings reversed. It's a common error. Local demand/supply and remote demand/supply.

That'd be ridiculous. I already said that it works fine when the warpers are not required for transit. Smh I go through this every time I ask for help with something. Just read my post.

The problem can be the amount of warpers you set to import. If you put a low qty but that you set your vessels with 100% load capacity and that your export logistic station hasn't enough to fill this load. The vessel won't go...
Try to set your vessel load at 10%

Your post doesn't give enough information for us to meaningfully assist. Put up a screenshot.

Are you sure you're using the intergalactic and not just the interplanetary? If it has 3 slots it's the wrong one. I use the intergalactic for everything just because it has two extra slots. I fill one slot to demand warpers for 100,then the other 4 slits for whatever resources, these should all be set to supply.

There is no intergalactic and interplanetary. There is only one and that is the interplanetary one. It goes planetary and then interplanetary.

As I said, the vessels already transit anyway, so the quantities are just fine.

i had a different comment but it was getting way too long, so

do not expand from your home system unless you have space warpers automated, even just 1 mk2 assembler making them over the course of a few hours will get you a supply to not worry about them for awhile.

big tip, each vessel that travels to a different system uses 2 warpers, 1 to get there, and 1 to get back, i dont understand what you were trying to do here.

another tip, build a interplanet tower in a different system, fill it with material and set to local demand/remote supply. you can even leave this tower unpowered as the vessels coming from the home system are fully powered for the 2way trip. unless you are having each system supply and demand from other systems, which sounds really inefficient, just have a hub production world and save your space warpers
