[feature request] export or launch to space option on outputs

[TBTerra]

along with output, would it be possible to have an 'export' node (or have it as an option for the output)
it would act exactly like an output, but would also have an extra input for rocket parts, and would take as many parts as you would need to build for the rockets to send the item to space (so exporting them to a different planet)

I don't think I understand what you mean. The amount of ingredients needed to launch a rocket is the same whether you're sending half a ton or a full ton of goods.

You can create a recipe chain in Foreman for Rocket parts and express what your limitations are.

If I have 10 rocket silos, set that as the manual amount on the silo node and make everything else auto to figure out how much you need to keep them fully running.

Alternatively, say I want to launch 5 rockets a minute - in Space Age I need 50 rocket parts so I would set the rocket part output to (50*5 = 250) rocket parts per minute and it'll tell me how many silos I need.

OK, Upon re-reading I think I understand, is this correct:

1. Given a production chain outputting N items per X time unit
2. Calculate how many rocket launches per X time unit are necessary to send them into space.
3. As an optional bonus, factor in how fast a silo can launch and state how many silos you'd require.

If I find the time to implement this, I'm inclined to just add the information from 3. to output sinks.
