Sorry to necro an old thread but I have a fuel question somewhat related:
I have built a number of FHBs and they are happy harvesting away around a gas giant - when they are full up I need to manually transfer fuel from each harvester to a waiting tanker. Is there a way to set up a fleet to do this automagically or is it only achieved manually?
Maybe I'm missing an option somewhere; I wonder, can I make the gas giant a colony and transfer fuel to the planet and use the tankers to collect it from there? Or, some order for the tanker to join the harvesting fleet giving an option to transfer fuel across that way?
EDIT: Would marking the FHBs as tankers give me more options when ordering via taskforce control window?
Actually, along the same lines I have a further question about tugs; Is there a better less micro intensive way to move stuff with tugs? I am looking for a way I can set up an order for a tug to take its attached item to a location, then break connection and return to starting location leaving the towed thing behind. I achieved it all manually, doing each part of the orders, time increment till that's done, do next part of the orders and time increment till that's done and so on, but I will have to move these FHBs again eventually so just being able to order a couple tugs to take care of it would be handy.
