Hello capsulers, I need your help to understand the resource flow in planetary interaction.
I have a resource extractor with 2 heads. On the Extractor Control Unit's route table, I see 2 routed lines with an amount inside it. I assume this amount is the current amount inside the ECU (3000, and 700), waiting to be routed into my Basic Industry Facility. Is this right ?
Talking about the Basic Industry Facility : each resource of my ECU is routed into it. I see that the current input is 65% of extracted unit (1978 / 3000). Why isn't this 100% ? I have some resource in the extractor that could flow into the Base Industry Facility through the route. The route is only used at 12% of its capacity so I think all could easily flow into the Basic industry f
I think I missed something in the doc, but can't manage to point it. Any help ? |

With two heads you are not pulling in 3000 units per cycle most likely. You should route your extractor to a storage silo or launched and then route to your BIF.
I'm not sure which table are you talking about, are you talking about the bar graph?
Your extractor doesn't store anything, if it's not routed then it's lost.
Extractor -> storage -> BIF -> storage |

On your extractor, what does it say your average output is?
The route list just displays what you have defined, not what you have. If you tell it to move 3000 units from point A to point B then it will do that, but that doesn't mean you have 3000 units available. |

Extractors don't store anything. When they cycle, their output is sent to the outed destination. If there isn't space in the destination, the material (or the excess) is lost.
This is why every PI guide you will find routes everything to and from storage always.

Ok, thanks. I understand now.
One last question. On the following image, I'm transforming Water and Electrolytes into Coolants. In the input icone, I have 100% water but 0% Electrolytes. However, the production timer is counting. How can I produce something with only half the required elements ?

You have all the required elements in the factory being processed.
There's then a buffer that each factory has, resources for the next cycle (the one after the current completes). That buffer has 100% of the water resources it will need for the next cycle and 0% of the electrolytes it will need for the next cycle |
