How do I connect supplies?
First, I cannot seem to get conveyors and power lines built on planetoids to connect to my main base, or each other. Even when docked. Is there a way to do this? I've just had to pipe everything into a box and then pick it up manually. It's a real pain in the ass.

In the current version of the game power cannot be transferred to the planetoid through the dock, there is a late game tech to wireless transferring power (i havent unlocked it). For now you need to build power on the planetoid to power your buildings.

In regards to moving goods to the main base that has to be done through the dock. If you open the dock panel (E) after docking you get the option to enable a couple belts in either direction. Thats the only way to gets goods in an automated way in or out your main base.

There is no way to connect belts, tubes and power lines manually. You need to build a Dock on the edge of your base to link up with a Dock you built on a planetoid.

The Dock is, essentially, a bridge that has 4 inbuilt conduits you can configure as your input/output. For an example you could build a conveyor belt leading up to a Dock and one leading from it and the Dock can link the two.

I don't bother with building Carbon Generators on planetoids as it's quicker and more convenient to use Solar Panels. No need for fuel that way.

Is there a way to transport liquid water through the docking bridge? Somehow there are only conveyors. Am i doing it wrong or are there no pipes for the dock?
