I'm reading different advice in tutorials on planetary interaction geometry and resource ratios. I'm concerned that some of my extractors may be overflowing either their links or the basic industrial facilities that they are routed to.

How do I determine if a link is overflowing?
How do I determine if the output of an extractor is overflowing the storage or processor it's routed to.

Route all products, extractors and refineries through your spaceport.

Problem solved.

Basic refineries use 3k raw materials per cycle. If you are extracting greater than 3k raw material per extraction cycle, then you are overloading your next facility - if it's the processor.


Route every link through your spaceport and these problems go away.

You can calculate it from the ECUs graph for an exact number in any given time or you use the average/h for the complete extraction program.

It is expected that the ECU will extract to much in the 1st 2 hours. Those items will later be used up when the ECUs extraction starts to decrease.

Now the problem is that the wasted materials are gone. For that not to happen you must route the extractor directly to a storage 1st.
