After a Link is planned (no need to hit "Submit" yet) you can finally make Routes! For a simple example you could route the Extractor to the CC in the screenshot, and then the CC to the Processor. Having started extracting earlier and installed a Schematic in the Processor you should be fully ready to Route next. Click the Extractor and go to the Products sub menu (this is where you'll be dropped off after Installing a Deposit, so it helps to prepare all your buildings and links before starting any Extractors), click the available Resource, select "Create Route", pick the CC, and hit "Create Route" again to finalize.

At this point your Extractor will route its output to your CC, where it'll build up until ~~either~~ the CC is full or the Extractor finishes its Deposit. You'll want to click the main "Submit" button now to allow the Extractor to start working, as you~~'ll need at least one cycle of material in storage before you can route to the Processor. You~~ might be tempted to route straight to the Processor, but resist! You'll waste precious material that way.

At this point your Extractor will route its output to your CC, where it'll build up until routed during production, the Command Center is full or the Extractor finishes its Deposit. You'll want to click the main "Submit" button now to allow the Extractor to start working. Again, you might be tempted to route straight to the Processor, but resist! You'll waste precious material that way.

~~After you have some of your Resource in the storage at your CC~~, click its Products sub menu and route from there to the Processor. Now it is ready ~~to actually do stuff~~, ~~but~~ you~~'re still in edit mode~~. ~~Make~~ a route the same way from the Processor back to your CC ~~- you~~'~~ll need to put its output somewhere too! Then finally~~ hit "Submit" again and congratulations, you now have a working colony!<br style="clear: both" />

Next, click its Products sub menu and route from there to the Processor. Now when your processor is ready for more it will pull it for production, once you submit your changes. But wait! Lastly make a route the same way from the Processor back to your CC (or other storage). Like the extractor if it isn't stored it is lost. Finally hit "Submit" again and congratulations, you now have a working colony!<br style="clear: both" />
