[Suggestion] Spam transfers
« on: April 06, 2025, 02:28:47 pm »
Sometimes when dedicated industrial base have done some large supply manufacturing it becomes quite tedious to repeatedly transfer it to many bases.

In the transfers screen if we can select target bases for delivery (by column with some checkboxes) it would be great. Or, with less usefullness but easier to implement, separate row addition to adress all bases.

Look, this isn't Transport Tycoon. If you're able to manufacture a lot of items, then simply manufacture a lot of them before transferring them. That way you'll only need to transfer them once and then never worry about them again.

The only useful option I could think of would be to add a virtual destination called "Split between all Bases", so you'd select that and it would do an equal split and transfer to all the bases (including itself)

?

My suggestion only about removing of just the same pattern of tedious clicking. When, for example, only one base can manufacturing that-must-have-for-everyone-power-toy, I do it "a lot" but after forced to clicking hell the same for ship this "a lot" to different places.

Please, read my post(s) carefully. My english is horrible, I know, but there no walls of text actually.  It was already my second variant of suggestion.

But first variant, with selecting only bases in need and then taking items by fixed multipliers per click on arrows (by number of those bases), is better.

In vanilla, yes, it is not really necessary. But in mods that have a lot of different items, including consumables, it often happens that 3 bases produce 3 different consumables that are needed by all eight bases at once, and preferably more... and yesterday.
