The current mechanic for Planetary Interaction makes no sense at all.

Currently, if you forget to route a product, or that the destination for the product is full, everything is lost and cycles continue regardless.

If real life, if a factory has no more room to accept new raw materials or have no room to store their final product, they don't just trash it all and pretend nothing is wrong, they pause production!

The same should be done in EVE Online:


  • If a product is not routed or the destination is full, the factory should go in pause mode and block the chain until it's routed properly. The factory should no longer accept new materials, which means the source (in case it's not a launchpad or storage depot) would also pause production.


Everyone makes mistakes, and losing a whole night worth of materials due to a simple mistake is just too frustrating. It also makes no sense that everything is being trashed like this...
