Counter-question:
I read somewhere about setting up a "1000kt distribution network", which I presume means sending freighters around to make sure every world has every mineral in decent quantities. However, If I have a freighter on "set waypoint 1000" for all minerals, what I get after a while is a bunch of freighters filled with iron, and the e.g. boranium starved worlds not getting anything. Should I split the freighters into specialized carriers, e.g. 1 iron, 1 bor, and 1 germ carrier, or is there an easier way? (context was IT, so once the routes are setup it goes really well because of the gates...)



I use "Set amount to ___" depending on what LF/Privateer I'm using.
I then import it to one of my custom orders and reuse it for the next 15-25 years, before I redesign that custom order.

I also use this order,
Fill upto 33% iron, 33% germ, bor dunnage. My stars.ini setting:
ZipOrders4=fbcahbcafbcaaaaaaaaaMineral .33

My 1st custom order is a Colo pickup variant > (either 2750kt, 4000kt, load all)
My 2nd custom order is Pick up all germ (for my factory races)
My 3rd custom order is Pop-drop 2kt (great for bombing runs + tech exchange)
My 4th custom order is the mineral management one.



I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.
