[REQ] Custom Supply Routes

[Conbadicus]

Trying to get resources from point A to Point B with dedicated haulers.
Example, I have stations in sector A, B and C, and a megafactory in Sector D. Resources need to flow from all of them to the megafactory. For a while I was assigning subordinates to the megafactory and asking them to trade only certain wares, restricted my stations trade to my faction only, and set my prices the prices as far apart as possible so the trader would select only my stations. This in theory makes sense but for what ever reason, traders just weren't making the trades effectively - there is some issue in the trade logic which prohibits moving goods even where there is plenty of supply. Something to do with the manager, and the money they have and the allocation towards all of the resources the station needs... I'm only guessing - I don't know what else would stop a trader who is assigned to trade only engine parts from moving as much as he can to the megafactory... anywho.

Next I tried tater trader - but that actually doesn't solve my problem in the slightest. It does, however, add some logic for the traders to make trades that are like 90% cargo instead of stupid small trades (again, not something I was even doing) which leads me to believe there is a way to make some custom trade route mod?

Go to factory A, transfer Ware A to cargo hold, transfer ware a to megafactory and transfer to megafactory. repeat. I think this would in essense keep the megafactory stocked with as much ware A that factory A can produce.. right?


Is anyone working on something like this?
