Fleet logistics

Supply routes

A standing order that relaunches a Transport between two of your own settlements every time its spacecraft return. Each leg pays the same fuel, takes the same storage promises and passes the same checks as a Transport launched by hand.

Mission Transport

Routes per commander 5

Endpoints Two of your own settlements

Idle recheck 10 min

Cargo rules

Each route carries one raw resource. Fuel the fleet burns can only be loaded above its round-trip reserve, and a leg never carries more than the destination can store.

Fixed amount The same amount every trip. The route waits until the origin holds it.
Surplus Everything above a level you keep at the origin, up to the hold.
Top up Refills the destination up to a target.

How legs run

Next leg Launches when the previous leg is home, checked every minute.
Nothing to send The route stays active and checks again after 10 min.
Edits Apply from the next leg. A leg in flight finishes as it launched.
Recall Recalling a leg pauses its route.
Delete A leg in flight still returns home.

A route pauses when

The pause shows the reason. Fix it, then resume the route.

Ownership Either settlement is no longer yours.
Spacecraft The dedicated spacecraft are not at the origin.
Fuel The origin cannot cover the round-trip fuel reserve.
Storage The destination has no room for the leg.
Hold A fixed amount no longer fits the spacecraft.
Launch checks Any other Transport check fails, such as unfinished research.
