Is there a way to dump to a planet any unrequested inventory? Or a way a circuit can dump from the platform.

My space bus sometimes gets over packed and it builds up

    This is great, and totally works, but I’d like to optimize and somehow get stuff down to a planet rather then chucking over the side.

      I think that would require more circuit wizardry than I know how to apply, but the new selector combinator is probably where you want to start. You’ll want to try to set a request at the drop platform based on the contents of the space platform.

        I thought of a terrible solution. But I don’t like it.

        On the space platform, depending on what I have too much of, set a predetermined signal on say fish. 1001 equals smelters. On the ground, from a rocket silo, examine the fish request signal, and if I see 1,001, request smelters until the 1001 signal goes away.

        Of course, this means maintaining a lookup table numbers to items. I don’t like this at all, I will not implement it. But it would work
