Shuttles are always idle
I have multiple depots requesting resources and none of my shuttles are doing anything. What's going on?

? You don't need a mod for shuttles to do what they normally do.

Are there any status msgs when you select a shuttlehub?

There should be 2 types of storage areas, those that are used to store resources to service buildings and those that store excess resources. Set your service depots to a value above 0 and your excess storage depots to 0. This will tell the shuttles that you want the service depots maintained at the level you have set and all excess resources above that needs to go to the storage depots.

That sounds odd. A few things to check:
Does the shuttle hub have fuel?
Is the shuttle hub set to carry people only?
Are those depots set to refuse shuttle access?

OK so apparenly the fix for it had something to do with researching High-powered Jets so their carrying capacity went up? and that just fixed the problem.

Well... that shouldn't have caused the problem in the first place, so there's still a mystery.

But I guess if the problem's gone away then all's well that ends well.

Are you using a mod hat makes things heavier or something because if you didn't, that wasn't the problem... or the solution.

Only time I've ever had them balk like that was due to lack of fuel. ie: Plenty of fuel at base but not delivered to the hub itself. I often use additional fuel storage on busy routes for this reason.

Mystery deepened. Thats not how shuttles work. There should have been no issue with just plain old shuttles with small cargo holds.
Do you have any capacity altering mods?

I only have Silva's mods and i can't possibly see why any of them would alter the capacity or the weight of the items.

I'm also having this problem with the shuttles idle my logs have 100s of

Invalid transport task:
Demand 285000 from WasteRockDumpSite
Supply 176000 from WasteRockDumpSite

Using your stop shuttles freezing mid air isn't doing anything for them either.

Here's the save if you want to experience it for yourself, I don't think there's any mods of conciquence in it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oSNlMzjmxEqOQ6uLLGQTiebK-5GT8bMm

Wait I may have fixed it, I used cheat menu's fix to reset all the colonists and magically the shuttle system has ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ itself.

Edit: Nope, still broke. https://steamcommunity.com/id/SardaTFK/screenshot/778478584860855001
