- Use Order Templates and the repeat or cycle orders functions. It will not be completely automatic but it is very easily set and then forgotten about. I would recommend using the civilian shipping lines to do this, though, as doing it with your own cargo fleet ties them up for a long time and consumes a good amount of fuel.
- You can accomplish this with the Cycle Orders checkbox, but mass drivers are usually going to be a better solution unless you prefer to RP the transport.
- Yes, there is a standing order for this.
- There might be a conditional order for this, otherwise you will have to do it manually.
- No. When a colony is first created it is set as a "Destination for Colonists"; you can unset this when it reaches the desired population. This only influences the civilian shipping, player-controlled ships will have to be managed manually or by doing what I have described above.
1. I saw a variant of "automatic orders" with the function of transporting mines ... is this definitely not what I need?
Civilian shipping carries 2-5 mines at a time. And my cargo fleet can carry a total of 3 million. T.
If I could automate it ...
I have founded a new colony, and I want to move a total of 500 mines there. But the problem is that I have already produced 250 mines, and 250 mines have not yet been produced. If I use a template with the transportation of 100 mines at a time, my cargo fleet will transport 200 mines 2 times, 1 time - 50 (or a little more, taking into account the produced ones), and then 2 times it will fly empty.
In addition, I want to eventually move part of the mines from one colony to another.
At the expense of civilian shipping - can I somehow give them ships or subsidize them?
2. Mass drivers, according to my observations, do not work as needed, losing part of the sent. Well, in any case, I need delivery from other systems.
3. What is the name of this function?
4. Unfortunately, I did not find this among the conditional orders ... More precisely, the condition is there, but the rest function is not. I do not need repairs or supplies for the recreation of people ...
5. In general, most of my problems would be solved if I could give more tonnage to civilian shipping ...
