Link under capacity -- yet can't create route

I have a link between an extractor and a launchpad with a stated capacity of 250m3 per hour.

I am producing a volume of 228m3 per hour from the extractor.

Yet when I try to create a route on that link, I get a message about too much congestion.

Any ideas?

I've got a suspicion that my current cycle is just too high or something, and the link/create route is going off the cycle (x6) rather than the actual predicted hourly volume. But I have no idea.

The peak is probably greater than 250. The average is 228 (look at the graph). Upgrade the link, if you have the resources to do that.

When creating a route, I'd look at the capacity indicator that appears on mouseover. If it is >100% you have to upgrade the link first.

As Tau said, the link must be upgraded enough to handle the largest cycle of the entire program.

A simple way to get your links upgraded enough is to go into toe routing menu on the ECU, select the commodity in question that you want to route to the starport (or wherever), and just hover over the starport without clicking on it. the link between the two will show a percent - this is the capacity of the link that is being used.

If this number is red (above 100%), simply divide then number by 2. If the result is still greater than 100%, divide by 2 again, rinse repeat until its below 100%. How many times you had to divide by 2 is how many times you need to upgrade the link to handle the ECU's output
