Cargo Shuttles are not very good.

Suggestion

I'm impressed by how utterly useless shuttles are for their purpose.

  • They are push based, meaning you can't have a site be responsible for its own logistics capacity. You have to add start pads to your providers. This is more annoying manage. I want a single pad at a provider and ships at each consumer coming to that one pad to fetch their goods. Like trains can do.

  • They don't have enough capacity to be useful. One pad cannot satisfy a single blue belt over even a small distance of like 400m. Forget about long distance. Spamming more pads is not desired with how enormous these things are.

The crazy thing is that there are TWENTY loader ports on these. Why, when you can't even continuously supply a single belt?

They need to have at least the same capacity as one train wagon to be even remotely useful.
