Title: Equalizing Fuel
Post by: TT on March 04, 2021, 10:21:11 PM
Hello All,

Due to life challenges, I am just trying out C# Aurora.  I am an experienced player of vb Aurora but I'm stymied right now in C#.  I built Fuel Harvesters and forgot to list them as Tankers.  They showed up with 100% fuel in their tanks so I deposited it on Earth and sent them to Jupiter.  Well, of course, I dropped off almost all of my fuel and the harvesters ran out before they got to Jupiter.  I thought, I'll just send a tanker to the fleet, equalize the fuel, get the Harvesters to Jupiter and then bring the tanker back to Earth.  Well, it appears that I have no idea how to equalize the fuel.  There doesn't seem to be a button or order to do that.  Am I just missing it or is there another way to accomplish that task now? I feel kind of dumb.  Any help would be appreciated.

You now need a special refueling system to refuel ships. Same for ordnance transfers, and supplies need a cargo shuttle bay.

Put a refueling system in the tanker and then, if you have it flagged as a tanker, it should have options to handle fuel, but moving fuel between two tankers may be annoying. You can also set specific amounts of fuel to be kept inside a tanker flagged design, it's no longer just a static percentage, that way you can make sure you have enough fuel for the harvesters next time.
