1. Easier Space Transport
Transporting products by use of cargo shuttles, requires manual commands to define these transports and start them, one by one. when multiple transports are needed, the procedure requires many commands and a lot of clicking.
A new, shorter procedure is now available.
when starting a new transport, you can define the name of the the space center where the products come from in the same way it was done before. You also specify the name of the space center where the products should be delivered (as before). Then you specify the product and quantity, but with the new procedure, you can specify "ALL" and all products that are stored in the space center will be sent to the target.
The procedure will create one transport request per product that is stored at the space center.
This function reduces the number of clicks that are needed to initiate space transports.
2. Improving Space Transports
Increasing use of cargo shuttle transports requires more optimizations to prevent long delays. When starting cargo shuttle transports, please specify one transport per product when moving products from one space center to another. Multiple identical transports will not register. You can start one transport and specify larger quantities of products.
3. Number of Transports
Each transport you start from one space center to another will use up to 20 cargo shuttles. If the products fit in a smaller number of cargo shuttles, the transport will use a smaller number. If the quantity of product is larger and does not fit in 20 cargo shuttles, then 20 will be used and when they reach their target, and deliver the products, they will be reused to run another round and transport more products until all products reach their targets
Up to 20 transports can be started using up to 400 cargo shuttles. If more needs to be done, new transports can be started when some of the 20 transports are completed.
4. More coming
We will introduce an additional feature, that will make it easier and reduce clicking, when you move products from a space center to the country. We intend to make it possible to move all products at once with a single click.
The additional functions are being created now and will be introduced in the coming weeks.
5. The use of Baradium
Baradium can be found in all countries on Tiny Atlas. Some countries have very large deposits of Baradium.
Baradium is now used in the production of electric trucks. Electric trucks will, in the near future, be used in large supply units that are now using trucks.
Baradium will also be used, in the near future, in the production of "Power Domes" that will be used to store electric power in large quantities.
Currently, electric power is not stored at all. It can be bought and be kept in countries and enterprises but contrary to its nature, it is stored without any containing mechanism.
6. Use of Electric Power by Electric Cars
In the current situation, electric cars in a country, do not use any electric power. In the near future, there will be electric car charging units. Cars will use electric power and presidents will be able to see statistics about the use of cars, electric cars, trucks and electric trucks, power domes and charging units in their countries.
7. The Supply Index
The supply index in most countries is now a bit lower because electric cars are in short supply. we will encourage the production of electric cars by adding extra score points to countries where the supply index is at 100.
3000 score points will be awarded to such countries. This is a major boost to the score. |

so... i've had like 50 transports going for a while now because they take so long
now that we're limited to 20 i have a little bit of a problem
also it's not as easy as one would think to cancel a transport which would involve clicking and more clicking individual transports
this keeps getting more and more complicated...  |

No running transports will be stopped.
if you just let them continue for some time, most will of course end.
we have looked into space centers that started many transports.
we saw multiple identical transports, meaning that several transports moved the same product from the same source to the same target.
these could be done in a single transport.
During development we were discussing this issue and decided to set the number to 20 but also considered 30.
we will have another look. also check your case, and we might decide to raise the number to 30.
I will be back here with a further response. |

| Product Name | Quantity | Origin (From) | Target (To) | Loaded / Delivered | | Attack Drone Missiles | 2,400,000 | Spira on WG | Trantor on KB | 2,999,398 / 2,524,398 | | Chemicals | 3,000,000,000 | Spira on WG | Phalodi on TA | 2,999,398 / 2,524,398 | | Metadium | 7,675,177 | Phalodi on TA | Trantor on KB | 2,999,398 / 2,524,398 |
Stating this here in case it's more than a visual bug.
Two days ago I started transferring Metadium. When I logged today the transported quantity was "2,999,398 / 2,524,398".
Right now, I started transferring Drone Missiles and Chemicals and they both started the Loaded / Delivered as "2,999,398 / 2,524,398". |

OOPS.
we will look into it ASAP. |
| souemyss | Thursday, January 16, 2025 - 12:47 pm
for now I just moved most of my products back into countries and enterprises
Hopefully it'll end a lot of these transport requests and I can start over
Trying to abort one request looks like it'll be multiple flight cancelations and it then I can't keep track.. |

I just looked now, and it says that Drone Missiles have been delivered, probably because the amount to be transferred, 2 400 00, was lower than the Loaded / Delivered (2 999 398 / 2 524 398).
I looked into the source and destination space stations, and the 2.4M missiles are still at the source space station. |

The max number of space transports will be increased to 30. |
| souemyss | Monday, January 20, 2025 - 09:22 pm
the limits are really bottle necks
it takes a very very very long time to move anything to ta
and even selecting "all products" in one space center all 20 allowable moves are used up
i have lots of shuttles too but they are kinda meaningless now right
help me understand because i'm ready to abandon ta it's just not worth the hours of work
it's a chore |

The coming upgrade will raise the limit to 30.
preventing multiple identical transports will help too.
We plan another optimalization of the space transport function.
it will allow us to increase the number of transports to at least 40,
hopefully higher.
The next improvement will take place when we add a new server.
this will be in about a month. |
