To transport resources we need to build links between buildings and route materials to their destination. Links cost more Power and CPU the longer they are. The radius of the planet and the distance between the buildings are the factors here. To save on fitting for links you always want to place buildings as close together as you can. Technically links have a limited throughput that can be upgraded, but this is hardly ever neded. | |||
==== Create links ==== | |||
{{button|CTRL}}+{{button|LMB}} one building, then release {{button|CTRL}} and click the building you want to build a link to. A link can always used in both directions, so it doesnt matter in what direction you build it. Materials can only be routed through up to six transiting buildings. Generally it is enough to connect each new building to exact one already existing building for all buidings to be connected. | |||
If you have a red circle around a building, this indicates a possible problem with the building. Usually this means that resources are either not delivered to or from the building. | If you have a red circle around a building, this indicates a possible problem with the building.

Raw materials (R0) produced by the extractor have no immediate use outside of PI. They can only be refined into the first level of PI-products (P1). This first processing-step reduces volume by 75%. With this the Launchpad takes longer to fill and the colony can run longer without exporting. Refining of raw R0 resources is done in Basic Industry Facilities. | Raw materials (R0) produced by the extractor have no immediate use outside of PI.

For each Industriy Facilities you have to select, what it schould produce. Double-click on each of them and select the schematic to be installed. The tooltip of each schematic shows what inputs are needed. Once you double-click a schematic or hit install, the system takes you directly to the routing dialog. Notice the canged cursor, that expect you to doubleclick or select a destination for the produced material. | For each Industriy Facilities you have to select, what it schould produce.
