| colspan="3" | When we’re done fiddling with our extractor heads, we can start the program by clicking the “Install Program” button and then “Submit.” But now we need to store our extracted materials! Since we’re going to eventually be moving our finished products off-planet, let’s use a Launchpad as our storage unit. Place one using the Build Menu near the ECU. Now we need to link the two buildings. CTRL-~~click~~ the ECU, then release CTRL and click the Launchpad. You can do this the other way round, too, or use the Links Menu on either building’s pop-up window. You’ve now set up a link over which products can be routed, at the cost of some CPU and Powergrid based on the link’s length, which is why we tried to minimize the distance between buildings.
