Hello Starminers! Time to explore the systems that keep your operations running. Today, we’re checking out the logistics and the mechanics behind moving resources across your network.
In Starminer, logistics is about moving items and also choosing the right method for the job. This video showcases the different ways you can transport cargo and resources across your network.
Dock & Transfer The most immediate option. Dock directly with another station to instantly trade or move resources between inventories. It's simple, fast and heads-on.
Cargo Bay Networks
Enable remote transfers between stations equipped with cargo bay modules. This allows you to move resources across distance without manual docking, forming the backbone of larger logistics setups.
Jettison & Haul
If you need more flexibility, you can jettison resources into space at a chosen location, where haulers from friendly stations can pick them up and deliver them into storage. Great for decentralized or improvised logistics.
Tradeships Assign tradeships to handle heavy lifting. They can pick up entire cargo modules and transport them to a destination of your choice. They're ideal for bulk movement and restructuring your supply chain.
Interplanetary Gates Scale up to automated trade. Flag storage modules for sale, and NPC tradeships will arrive through interplanetary gates to purchase and remove them - crediting you for their contents.
Each system offers different trade-offs between control, automation, and scale. Mastering how and when to use them is key to building an efficient, resilient logistics network in Starminer.
