Rocket port extension

[Ender's games]

Hi, maybe I'm being too thick, and I apologise for that but I don't understand what's the point of the Rocket port extension. The database page in-game says "allows rocket platforms to be built further apart". You build them next to the rocket platform and then...nothing. There's nothing you can do, it seems.

Can you put several together? Sure. But you can also build tiles or stairs. I don't get what's their point. On top of that, while rocket platforms don't need anything under them the port extensions do need a tile, so again, what is their point?

Can anyone help?

Also, they don't seem to have a page in the ONI wiki.

Thanks.

It's for when you use gas/liquid/solid cargo un/loaders.
For instance, you could have 3 landing pads by the edge of the buildable area on an asteroid that has metal volcanoes (far away from the edges), so you keep the rocket platforms spread out but connected by using port extensions then place your row of solid cargo loaders in a location way closer to the middle of the asteroid.
(old screenshot from before the update, you would place extensions inbetween platforms then the loaders further to the right)

Use cargo modules to automate the transfer of goods between asteroids and you'll understand.

They're a new thing

Use Liquid/Gas/Solid Loaders/Unloaders that are located in same menu as chosen material state... not under rocketry ... dont ask why but ye, connect your extenders to those buildings and voila :)
