Talk:Transport

Why can't I transport some stuff to my friend? Neither of us is in diplomacy mode.

• I've noticed something odd I'd like a comment on by someone knowledgeable in this. When I transport resources (say ore) from one planet to another, if the planets capacity for holding that much is exceeded by the transport, the ore is not lost, but rather the limit is exceeded and any mines on that planet simply stop producing. eg, planet B has a ore capacity of 150,000 and already has 50,000. I transport 125,000 to planet B from Planet A and now it is sitting with 175,000 when the cap for the planet is 150,000. The mine simply stops putting out but the overage is not lost. Is this what is supposed to happen?

Yes. This is what is supposed to happen. Therefore, storehouses aren't particularly useful until you're really putting out the resources.
