how to send space science like a train?
The thing is broke or im just not getting it, got the logistics stuff checked, assemblers and whatever else gets loaded, but science does not,
i will mention when i scroll over the science on the platform it says not enough to fill rocket

so how do i simplify it and just make science goes back and forth from planet to planet each having their own ship? thanks

You can set a minimum value from the platform request if you want to send less then a rocket to it, otherwise you'll have to accumulate at least one rocket of science, which happens to prevent wasting a whole rocket by sending a very small amount to space.

And if you hover over the science you will see that 5 stacks (1000) science is required to fill the rocket.

well my vulcanus has well over a full chest, the robots are just not loading it onto the rocket, i can set 1000, 2000 they just dont load it, kind frustrating.

if someone is willing to join my game and assist it would be preeeetty cool

it said not enough then it is not enough. make sure they are in right boxes. steel box doesn't count.

if the platform says not enough to fill a rocket, check if you select the right science and if the science chest is a logistic chest within the logistic network including a rocket
Planetside. Rocket silo - turn on automatic requests from platforms then make sure the passive provider/storage chests are within range of a roboport.
Platform. on the hub, make sure it's requesting from the specific planet it's on and that the group is enabled. things will show with a red background instead of having a dim color.

You can hover over requests to see the specific information for each thing

lol ok so vulcanus i had utility science selected, when it returns back to vulcanus i will know if its actually gonna work now,
as for fulgora, i only have 300 in stock so maybe that is the not enough to fill rocket??

you have ship specific for science doing a giant loop?

yes you can ship specific amounts for science. my gleba and fulgora rockets have been shipping well below a full rocket and doing fine. I did a giant loop with one ship hitting 4 planets for a while
