Auto rocket launch?
might be that im missing something, but, is there a way to automatically launch rockets to deliver supplies? it gets pretty tedious having to do it manually every time

Set requests on the platform(s), the silo will request the items (full rockets for each item) and send the items automatically.

click on the rocket silo and there is a checkbox to make it auto launch. Bots will deliver to the silo and then it will launch to supply the platform

this is simply incorrect, there is no check box for auto launch in the DLC expansion

1. Click on a Rocket Silo
2. On the right side, click the Checkbox with title: "Automatic requests from space platforms"

The "Automatic requests from space platforms" checkbox definitely exists.

you can either, like all the others already mentioned, set a rocket silo to automatically serve requests wich means bots will gather the resources, put it in the rocket and then start it to the station.

Be aware that by default a rocket is only launched if it has enough resources to fill a full rocket (to prevent wasting rockets on 5 Iron plates or so)

A other way that in some bases can be also a good option is to manually fill a rocket that has not set the checkbox with something a spaceplatform requests.

For Example: my spacestation requests 5k Sience when visiting the planets.
I got one rocket silo, without checkbox, set up so the belt and arms feed it with sience.
If the rocket is ready and full, even without the checkbox it will launch to the platform requesting the sience. This saves me Bot Travel time and thereby makes quick loading much easier.

If you dont quite get what i mean just add me and i will try to explain it in detail
