Tim,
Can you re-upload the 2nd version, download seems to be broken. Or if someone could post it up so I could d/l it would work just as well. Beta 1 d/l's ok so something things wrong with the 2nd version.

The surest way to make something easy to use, with few errors, is to make it impossible to do otherwise

Sorry for answering so very late. Haven't been playing for quite a time and probably won't for quite another time. I'll probably move the download location to another file hoster, though.
The Max% settings tells the complex when to put wares into the storage extension ships.
When the complex's cargo is somewhere in between, nothing happens.
If you want to store extra produced crystals but leave, say 20% of them in the complex so the production doesn't stop. You can for example use the following settings:
Crystals min: 20% max:25%
This will put crystals into storage when the station's crystal cargo is more than 25% full. Which should happen regularly when you are producing more crystals than the complex needs.
However, if you take crystals out of the complex so the cargo is below 20%, the complex will take crystals from the storage extension until it is 20% full again.
If you want all of a certain ware to be put into storage without leaving anything in station cargo, just set min and max of this ware to 0%. That way any ware that is produced will instantly be transferred to the storage extension.

If I have a complex that produces extra crystals that I want stored while leaving some in the complex, what would I set these to? If I have another product that I'm stockpiling(chips), how would I set it to store all of the product produced?

I'm about to give this a shot, will be useful; I'm also using it for a flail/barrage complex. Thanks a lot for this.
Windows ReadyBoost, anyone?

I use Station Camper for this purpose, although it does not fully automate the entire job, as Tim-O's script appears to do.Magewolf wrote:This seems like it would be a great help to me.Does anyone know of another script like this that is that is available and up to date?
Perhaps someone who has a copy might upload it?

I've discontinued the development of this script, but I've uploaded it to GitHub to make it easier for others to continue working on it. You can find the GitHub project here: https://github.com/merlinthered/plugin. ... .extension

Presumably that includes your permission to maintain or enhance the script?
Thanks, Tim-O!
