Connect gathering sites, factories and storage on Astra using Create transport. Plan where resources belong, separate shipments and decide when a railway or an air route is useful.
Raw-material storage supplies production, parts storage supports construction and repairs, and completed shipments wait separately. This makes shortages easier to understand. Putting every item into one shared chest makes essential components difficult to find among leftovers and by-products.
A short item-transfer line suits neighbouring machines. Between distant bases, compare rail transport with a flying delivery instead. Consider shipment size, loading access and trip frequency, not only vehicle speed. The same transport method will not suit every distance or load.
Follow a shipment from its first warehouse to storage at the receiving base. Label loading areas, agree on its contents and leave room at the destination. A trial delivery often reveals awkward access that is easy to overlook while drawing a route.

Good to know
Before you join.
When does a station need separate storage?
When a train delivers materials faster than the workshop processes them. Intermediate storage lets the train unload while production consumes its shipment gradually.
Should I automate the entire warehouse first?
Start by separating key materials and checking one flow. Automating an unorganised store makes mistakes harder to trace, not easier.
Where should a delivery system start?
Choose one resource, one origin and one destination. This lets you test the whole journey and identify where the cargo gets held up.
