Cargo elevator and Flight center

[Snake]

I just set up a cargo elevator and storage under ground, attached conveyor belts to all storage containers then to cargo elevator.

on the surface i attached them all to the Flight center.

there needs to be a way to know whats in the storage of the flight center ( there is no way to control how many resources you let loose down the belt so you may inadvertently release too many to the flight center, there also needs to be A way to to expel those extra resources from the flight center

Set up as a loop. send the resources back to storage containers. This is what I do with vehicle and heavy vehicle buildings. The materials go in, it takes what it needs, rest go out and back to storage.

Yes, for now, you can use the output ports for conveyors at the back of the Flight Center and the Universal Storage as a control mechanism. To manage resources supplied to the Flight Center, you can use storage units with output locks. When you need to send a resource, simply unlock the storage output.

We’re planning to expand the storage settings slightly and introduce a minimum reserve option. This way, you’ll be able to release an exact portion of resources from the storage units.

I'll give it a shot

if done right works great, i do the same with processing units like microfabs etc, loop everything around, that also saves a lot conveyor costs, as all materials can be traversed on the same belt and just get splitted into processing if the fab has free space
