I landed on Vulcanus, setup a base so that I can launch rockets from there. Unlocked of course the drill and foundry. I could not kill a worm yet. I need more weapon upgrades from Nauvis.

My question is :

What do you transport from Vulcanus to Nauvis? only the drills, foundries and orange science?

Every planet has a PLANET_wants group, that's put into the landing pad of that planet.

There is a buffer on each planet requesting the _wants group next to the rockets.

There are two shuttles that go through the planets clockwise and counter clockwise. They both have all the planet _wants groups

So if a planet needs huge drillers, it gets set one time in the _wants group, and everything else just happens automatically.

The ability to share logistics groups across devices is a really good quality of life improvement
