Note: Hydrogen created during Crude Oil-based production must be recycled through the system to ensure full efficiency. Hydrogen quantity shown in Stage 8 is remaining surplus Hydrogen which can be diverted elsewhere.

Operational Configuration and Settings

Configuration Settings of Interstellar Logistic Station

Max Charging Power (Slider)

Value range: [30MW, 300MW] (Step: 3MW)

Transport range of Drones (Slider)

Value range: [20°, 180°] (Step: 1°)

Transport range of Vessels (Slider)

Value range: [1 ly, 60 ly] and ∞ (Step: 1 ly for [1, 20ly], 2 ly for [20 ly, 60 ly])

Distance to enable Warp (Slider)

Values: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 60 AU

Min. Load of Drones (Slider)

Value range: [1%, 100%] (Step: 10%)

Min. Load of Vessels (Slider)

Value range: [1%, 100%] (Step: 10%)

Orbital Collector (Checkbox)

Allows Logistics Vessels to pick up cargo from the Orbital Collectors.

Must Equip Warpers (Checkbox)

If this checkbox is set, the Logistics Vessel will depart for the cargo from a Logistics Station or an Orbital Collector that is located beyond the Distance to enable Warp only if two Space Warpers are provided in the Logistics Station's Warper slot. The second Warper is used for the return.

Output Cargo Stack Count (Slider) & Use Tech Limit (Checkbox)

These options get unlocked with the Logistics Station Integrated Logistics upgrade. It allows Logistics Stations and Advanced Mining Machines to output cargo to the belts in stacks, similar to those formed by the Automatic Piler. When the checkbox is set, the slider is locked and the amount of cargo in stacks equals to that provided by the current level of the upgrade. Otherwise, player is able to set the stack count at which the cargo gets unloaded, between 1 and the current tech limit, when 1 means non-stacked output.

Configuring Logistics

Local Storage and Remote Demand will make the station demand items from remote stations for output via belts.

Local Storage and Remote Supply will make the station supply items for remote stations.

Local Demand and Remote Storage will make the station demand items from local (same planet) stations for output via belts.

Local Settings

Local Storage - Items in the station should be kept locally for output via belt, do not request or send items to stations on the same planet.
Local Supply - Items in this station should be available to stations on the same planet via logistics drones.
Local Demand - Items from stations on this planet should be brought to this station.

Remote Settings

Remote Storage - Items in this station should be kept locally (on the same planet) for output via belt, do not request or send items to stations on other planets.
Remote Supply - Items in this station should be available to stations on other planets via logistics vessels.
Remote Demand - Items from stations on other planets should be brought to this station via logistics vessels.

Station Configuration

To unload logistics stations you must set the filter on each belt that exits the station.
Mouse over the belt exit on the station and you will see a filter icon appear.
Click the filter icon and a menu of available items/buildings available in the station.
Select the entry desired to begin transfer.

Player Tips & Tricks

Each Interstellar Logistics Station can host up to 50 Logistics Drones and up to 10 Logistics Vessels.
Power draw of the station is proportional to the amount of current energy loss. This means that at 0 J, the total max charging power will be utilized across the power grid, and the power draw proportionally decreases the more the energy is stored in the station.
- At a max charging power of 60 MW, the station will draw 54 MW when it only has 1.2 GJ stored (60 MW * (12 GJ - 1.2 GJ)/12 GJ)
- At a max charging power of 60 MW, the station will draw 6 MW when it only has 10.8 GJ stored (60 MW * (12 GJ - 10.8 GJ)/12 GJ)
- Because of this, power draw is relatively low once the station is charged, but it can overload low power networks when first created.

Note about inter-star logistics

Logistics Vessels can move items between planets from different stars, once Logistics Carrier Engine is upgraded to level 4. This upgrade allows logistics vessels to initiate warp, and also adds a special slot to Interstellar Logistics Stations for storing Space Warpers.

When a logistics vessel undertakes an inter-star journey, it will attempt to take 2 Space Warpers from the dedicated Space Warper slot of its Interstellar Logistics Station.

Warning: if no Space Warpers are available, logistics vessels will still attempt to make inter-star journeys if "Must Equip Warpers" is not checked on the Interstellar Logistics Station, which may take hours.
