Improved interaction with the cargo landing pad

Post by fearthe »

I want to suggest being able to pick up items from the cargo bay with manipulators.
The total amount of science being unloaded from the landing pad by manipulators is too small, I'm afraid that FPS will decrease to 0, because I will have to use drones.
My desire is a million sciences per minute in its purest form. But even if science is made legendary, a huge number will still come out, while cargo compartments would be useful.
Thank you for considering your suggestions.

If by "manipulators" you mean inserters, you can. It's the only way to automate delivery of white science when you first unlock it.

Previously

Limiting interaction to the Landing Pad / Platform Hub central entity is intentional - the Cargo Bays only provide more room.
