Remove partial items from space platform

[Xaule]

Hi everyone, sometimes I have too many items on the platform, let's say 1400 steel plate. I only want to leave with 1200. I can't seem to send back the 200 extra to the planet surface. It's all or nothing. Any ideas?

When you manually drop them to a planet, use shift click instead of ctrl click. It trashes a stack instead of everything.

When setting up the logistics, you usually set the "minimum" side of the slider to set how much you want to send from the surface.
That slider has two sides, you can set the minimum to 0 to not even ask for any from the surface (or to whatever amount you want/need like you would normally).
The other side of the slider allows you to "auto trash" anything above that amount, set to "infinite" by default but you can set it to any amount you want, like 1200 in your example.

This method has been working great when shipping intermediates, I enjoyed having an automatic request for silo materials that doesn't store the extra 10 slots of junk that comes up in rocket loads.
