Multiple Outposts/Transfer Containers on the same planet

[shwopple]

There seems to be a bug with the Outpost Transfer Container. I built two separate Outposts on the same planet, call them Site A and Site B. At each Outpost I built a Transfer Container. Based on the description of how this item should work (referencing the Help section in-game), I should be able to transfer inventory items between the Transfer Containers and my ship. The issue is, only one of the two Transfer Containers will work at a time. I cannot access both Transfer Containers from my ship at any given time. Even more interestingly, the particular Transfer Container that I have access to from my ship doesn't change based on which of the two Outposts my ship is currently at; only one of the two Transfer Containers that I built (specifically, the second one that was built at Site B) can be accessed from my ship regardless of whether I land it at Site A or Site B. Note that both Outposts have landing pads for my ship.

Surely there must be a way to access both Transfer Containers while on this planet; ideally both would be accessible from my ship at the same time, as long as my ship has been landed somewhere on that planet. But I would settle for at least being able to access the Transfer Container for each specific Outpost while my ship has been landed there... even if that means flying back and forth between the two Outposts in order to collect the resources being generated at each site.

I am aware that the Cargo Link can be used to automatically transfer items between Outposts, however this is not a great solution since there is no way to create an Output Link from the Cargo Link to the Transfer Container; thus requiring items to be manually grabbed out of the Cargo Link container before they can be placed into my ship's cargo hold.

I also have two outposts on the same planet. I built outpost #1 with a transfer container and it worked great. Later I built outpost #2 on same planet, also with a transfer container. Now my ship cannot see either one.
I read somewhere to build a large landing platform for your ship so I did that at both outposts. It now lets me land right next to the outposts, but the transfer containers are still not working.

same. only 1 works at a time. cant switch between them. delete one and the other one works.

AT least you got 1 to work. I have 1 outpost with one stransfer consainer built and can get link up at all. plus the machines that are mining the ore always stop at 17 and i have to go empty it by hand and add it to the storage to get it running again.

[Rom B ツ]

you got a normal storage between the machine and the transferer? it needs space to "buffer" items into

ok, think I have figured it out. ONLY at Outpost #1 build the TRANSFER container. that connects it to your ship inventory. at both outposts, build a CARGO-LINK, found in the MISC category. Create a link and have outpost #2 send to outpost #1. it is not real time, some cargo ship makes the route every XX hours. I just built this and don't know the schedule yet.

so my setup is:
Outpost #2 has:
2 extractors sending to storage container #1
storage #1 is linked to storage #2
storage #2 is linked to cargo link

Outpost #1 has:
2 extractors sending to storage container #1
storage #1 is linked to storage #2
storage #2 is linked to transfer container
cargo-link is linked to storage #3
storage #3 is linked to storage #4
storage #4 is linked to transfer container

set Transfer container to send from outpost 2 to outpost 1

I will post my results tomorrow.

Unfortunately its not an infinite storage so there will eventually be backup and you may not get some resources delivered at all.
As of launch, the outpost system is not worth it at all and is not intuitive. Surely it will get reworked...but it stinks that its not an improvement upon Fo4's system.

OMG !!! This works. and the schedule is about every 2 minutes. I was standing in the middle of the cargo link the first time the cargo freighter landed as I was typing the above.

if you want to fill quickly and have a very large amout of containers and waiting 1day 24 hours doesnt fill your gargo. goto venus wait there 24hours, day in venus is 100 days UT everywhere else, this is a easter egg planet and waiting here allows you to fill your cargo holds quickly. you can litterally if done right level to 100 in 40 minutes or make and sell things and huge amounts of creds quickly. there is a vid on it.
