More storage slots on logistics stations

Overview

• Vanilla: Planetary Logistics Stations get 4 slots, Interstellar Logistics Stations get 5.
• max (default): Planetary Logistics Stations get 8 slots, Interstellar Logistics Stations get 9. Planetary stations are capped at 8 to avoid conflicts with vanilla logic at 9 slots.
• safe: Every station gets 6 slots.
• New stations expand on build; existing ones expand the first time you open their window.
• The station window shows all slots; if it is taller than the screen, it scales down.
• Extra slots support drones, vessels, belts, sorters, sandbox keep-amount, and copy/paste like vanilla slots.
• Works well with TowerFactory.

Config

• BepInEx/config/com.yummi.dsp.bigtower.cfg, or the r2modman Config editor
• ExpansionMode: max (default) or safe.
• Lowering the mode does not shrink stations that are already expanded.

Save compatibility

• No extra save data. Expanded stations stay expanded after uninstalling this mod.
• After uninstalling, vanilla only partly supports extra slots (window shows 6, belt/sorter input only slots 1–5, deliveries to slots 7+ can lose items). safe (6 slots) is the least risky.

Notes

• Orbital Collectors and Advanced Mining Machines are not expanded.
• Control Panel station view still shows only 6 slots.
• Multiplayer is untested.

Chinese description

The transport tower is expanded with more slots

Function description

• In the original version, there are 4 squares for intra-planetary logistics and transportation stations and 5 squares for interstellar logistics and transportation stations.
• max (default): 8 spaces for intra-planet logistics and transportation stations, 9 spaces for interstellar logistics and transportation stations. The planet is limited to 8 cells to avoid errors caused by logic conflicts between 9 cells and the original version.
• safe: All transport stations have 6 blocks.
• The capacity of a new transport tower is expanded; the capacity of an existing transport tower is expanded when the window is first opened.
• The window displays all grids; if it is too high, the overall size will be reduced.
• The expanded grid supports drones, transport ships, conveyor belts, sorters, sandbox quantity maintenance, copy and paste, etc.
• Can be used in conjunction with TowerFactory.

Configuration

• BepInEx/config/com.yummi.dsp.bigtower.cfg, or r2modman’s Config editor
• ExpansionMode: max (default) or safe.
• Turning down mode will not reduce the capacity of an already expanded transport tower.

Archive compatible

• No additional archive data is written, and the expansion will remain after uninstallation.
• After uninstalling, the original version only partially supports the extra grids (the window can only have a maximum of 6 grids, the conveyor belt/sorter only recognizes the first 5 grids, and goods may be lost in deliveries starting from the 7th grid). safe (6 grids) is relatively the safest.

Things to note

• Orbital collectors and large mining machines will not be expanded.
• The main control panel still only displays the first 6 cells.
• Not tested in multiplayer.
