Enter system.
With the fleet selected on the Naval Window, click the Launch All button.
Select the new "Strikegroup" fleet.
Configure the standing orders for this fleet that you want to apply to your survey ships.
Give an order to "Divide Fleet into Single Ships", targeting the JP that the fleet is sitting on.
Advance time 5 seconds. The fleet divides into single ships, each with a copy of the standing orders you configured.
Advance time as normal with an increment of at least 1 hour (I think? Maybe has to be 3 hours) for the ships to apply their standing orders.

I'm using a laborious process to grav survey a system consisting of a shuttle tender with 8x 500-ton shuttles, each with a grav survey component.

My very much click-intensive, and probably un-optimized way of doing the exploration is to detach, one by one each shuttle, then give each of them the standing order to survey the nearest location, with the primary condition that at 50% fuel to get back to the assigned mother ship.

So we are looking at 50+ clicks to set up this. And then "bis repetita", each time one lands and needs to be dispatched again.

So I'm a taker of advice here!

An easy one for you veterans!

Is Fuel Production not in fact Fuel Productivity? This would change my priorities ...

Not sure what you mean.

The Fuel Production technology determines the base number of liters per year your race produces with a single Fuel Refinery installation or Sorium Harvester ship module.
Actual production of a given Fuel Refinery is modified by the Production bonus of Planet and Sector governors, as well as the Manufacturing Efficiency Modifier of the population.
Actual production of a given Sorium Harvester ship module is modified by the Mining bonus of the Ship commander and of the appertaining Naval Admin commanders.

Regardless of tech or bonuses, production requires one ton of sorium for every 2000 liters produced.

Thanks, you answered my question! It could have been that a refinery always uses 20 tons per year. Without technology, this leads to 40000 liters a year, but with the next tech, it would be 48000 (so a bonus productivity/efficiency).

Ah, I see now - production would be throughput while productivity would be efficiency. To rearrange the punchline above, the efficiency is fixed and is always 2kL per ton, while the throughput per module or installation improves with technology. Thankfully, once an appropriate sorium giant is found, the efficiency is largely irrelevant.
