Clutter - what's it all for? (lemmy.world)

I'm further along in the game and have an outpost set up where I can easily dump resources, along with production from other places providing all kinds of resources.

Thing is, what was I supposed to do with it all? I started making quite the tower of solid storage along with a good amount of resources, but 6 stories later, I shut down my mine and disabled the resources coming in from other planets because I got tired of trying to keep up with the intake. I still have more than I know what to do with and even if I start automated production of components, what do I do with that?

Am I missing something?

I mainly just want to dump all the resources from my ship and have most of the stuff when I'm building something (which I do).

Resource drop-off had been sketchy lately. It works sometimes, sometimes not (stuck in the output hopper). Any advice on that would be fantastic.

Yeah I agree that ore should cost 20x, but then we would also need more costs in mining, refining, transporting, and selling that ore to balance it out.

Absolutely. I'm not for adding a cheat code to the game - I want an interesting system to interact with.

If I'm going to be honest I'd hold up Elite Dangerous as the gold standard for space trucking that they should aim for.

Yeah Elite is good for trading but X4 Foundations too, it has a pretty decent economy and you can actually follow the cargo/mining ships around and watch them do their deliveries.
