📋 About This Mod

This mod is the story of "Magnus the Magnate" that set up an outpost production chain where:

  • [] all required 39 resources come in on one end.

    []all 30 manufactured goods flow out the other end

    []everything all neat. with input/output containers for every fabricator

    Unless you use similar mods or are targeting a similar setup. This mod and it's fabricators might be of not that much use to you.

    Created and outpost with 39+He3 cargolinks. It actually worked. But 40 shuttles coming and going was SOOOO NOISY.

    Decided that I need to aggregate the resouces in aggregator hubs and fly them into my production outpost all mixed together.

    So only one incoming cargolink. Much more peaceably noice wise.

    But kept running into a lot of "issues". Let's start with the ones I found other mods to solve:

    Fabricator Placement

    I doubt I am the only one that thought placement of fabricators is a pain. And snapping would be lovely.

    Well..fresh off the presses. And hopefully!!! working: Fabricator Snapping

    Cargo/Container Capacity

    UPDATE:

    Outpost Storage Containers Increased Capacity uses Real Time Format Patcher Mod to increase Container Capacity

    10000/20000/40000. Plus 25000 for Transfer Container!

    Note : Has two versions.

    If you use LessFPSHit Version of MagnusTheMagnate. Use the "Universal" Version of the Outpost Container mod.

    Turns all containers into Universal Containers.

    Additionally Starfiled is weight based and cargolinks/containers capacity is defined as weight.

    So if you make resources lighter. More fits into containers.

    I use the 0. 01 resource weight version of Weightless Junk by the marvelous ToxicWhiteout.

    • []large container can hold 30'000 resources.

      []intra-system cargolink flies 30'000 resources at once.

      []inter-system one 50'000 resources

      (if you use weightless version. All containers become infite storage. But container gauges don't work correctly anymore)

      Container/Cargolink chains are the devil!

      Container/Cargolink chains are the devil fps wise. They kill it mercilessly.

      I had set up all my gathering and aggregator outposts with 10 stack of large containers for every resource for buffering.

      Cargolinks are very ficle divas.

      They throw fits for many reasons. One being input/output connected containers being full! 10 stack containers avoided their tantrums.

      But I ended up with FPS in the 7-8 range
