Hi,
have a question how to increase maximum time that a colony can produce p4.
Let's say, i have 3 storages filled with 3 p3's 2000 in each storage , I route them to High-tech plant and then p4 to a different storage. The problem is i can do only 120 cycles of p4 production before last storage becomes fully filled with p4's. However, from 2000 p3's i can make 333 cycles of p4 production. So, how to increase number of cycles to maximum and do it automaticly?

you can route things from the high-tech plant back to the storage where the P3 stuff was stored. p4 needs less volume than p3

exceptions are nano factorys, organic mortar applicators and sterile conduits since those also need P1 and actually increase the volume a little bit. but you should be able to circument that by using the launchpad for additional storage

That would be so if i could set route from high-tech plant to several storeges at once. But as i unedrstand, it is possible to have only one route from factory

if i remember correctly, you can route from storage to storage

sadly, this is not so. you cannot route from storage to storage, only by use of an Expedited Transfer can this happen.

you can, however, route stuff so it transits a storage facility on its way to wherever it's going. If where it's going fills up, the storage facility it transits will NOT store overflow materials (i have no idea why).

You can have 3 high tech plants each feeding finished product to a different storage.
