A spaceport for each trade line?

[Kerdh]

Hi,

Tell me I'm wrong, we do not have to build one spaceport for one trade line?
I colonized 3 planets, well, if I already use one line, I can't trade to the 2 others...

If you set it to repeat an infinite amount of times, this is correct. You shouldn't really need to though.

One Space Port = 1 ship of 40 weight.

Two Space Ports? You can either send 1 shipment with 41-80 in one trip (uses 2 ships when above 40), or two separate trips at once if they're 40 or under.

It's a bit confusing because of that, just have to limit the size of your shipments if you want multiple routes.

Oh, ok.
Well I wanted to send xx goods to yy planets, as, well, most of this kind of games, Anno in the first place.

i'd love to be able to have multiple ships in one space port :v

i find myself colonizing a planet with nuggetoids only to build a space port

Unless your mother planet is huge and you have built lots of factories, you will find that two spaceports can send things faster than they can be made. I can imagine needing one spaceport on the mother planet for each colony, but not more than that.

Can only make one space port on each planet.

The problem isn't making enough resources to keep up but instead transporting them to another planet, which often takes 3-12 minutes just from close planets. I could definitely do a dozen small trips and wait several times longer, but having multiple would be a huge QOL feature imo. That said I'd prefer just making more ships for my Space Port instead of making a new port :v

I have a (home) huge planet full of stuff :D (cause empty of ressources now, or pretty much).
I just colonized a lava one, jeez. Must go back with nuggetoids only, much simple.

You gotta plan ahead here and start colonizing other resource rich planets before the starting one is depleted. I started turning all the empty space on the starter planet into farms so I could outsource the food to the other colonies that were producing the stuff I needed. I'm sure there's a planet or two that don't need terraforming you could jettison a handful of nuggies and some food to. Start them off with some stoneage stuff and build it up from there.

You just need a trade port on the planet if you want to export. The more of them you build the more transports in total you'll have.

i've used half of my planets available oil and still have 6.4k stored, the rest aren't even close

My factories (used to) run at full :D Fuel and microprocessors use a lot of resources. So my planet is now +/- empty of gas and oil but I have and had thousands of glasses, cement etc. And hundreds of chips, we need them for everything.
And you need ressources to pack empty factories, too.
