IPL - Inter Platform Logistics

by SirPuck

Use IPL Antennas on your Space Platforms to allow them to exchange items when at the same space location, using cargo pods. Transfer items automatically, using circuits and antennas, directly between space platforms without having to send your items to the ground ! Join us on Discord : https://discord.gg/DBW37M34NX

Changelog

Version: 1.3.1
Date: 2026-01-05
  Changes:
    - Add command to reset pod buffer: "ipl-reset-podbuffer". This is a debug / unstuck command. Please use it only if you are confident a bug or incompatibility broke IPL system. If you used a planet mod that uses PlanetsLib with a version earlier than 1.15.1 and have tried to use IPL with platforms in orbit of a planet for which you had not researched a technology allowing you to drop pods on its surface, then you will have to use this command.
    - Add warning related to PlanetsLib

Version: 1.3.0
Date: 2025-12-28
  Bugfixes:
    - Fix a minor bug that was very slightly impairing performance.
  Features:
    - Add channel encoding (must be enabled in the options).
    - Hide the Antennas guis by default, because many users believe they had to setup the antennas using the GUI, while the GUI is only a DISPLAY feature. You can still enable it in the options if you want to.

Version: 1.2.0
Date: 2025-11-21
  Bugfixes:
    - Fix a crash when a platform with an antenna is at "solar system edge".
  Features:
    - Add simple channels. Use the virtual signal "C" on a provider / requester antenna to set a channel. By default, this signal is considered to be 0, so you don't have to change anything if you don't want to use channels.

Version: 1.1.3
Date: 2025-11-08
  Bugfixes:
    - Crash when deconstructing a threshold antenna.

Version: 1.1.2
Date: 2025-11-05
  Changes:
  Bugfixes:
    - Rare bug when a non item signal sneaks past first nil checks.

Version: 1.1.1
Date: 2025-10-28
  Bugfixes:
    - Desync bug in MP due to unregistering the on click listener.

Version: 1.1.0
Date: 27. 10. 2025
  Changes:
    - Remove logistic sections from antennas. All antennas built before 1.1.0 will be unwired, and automatically replaced.
    - Move the technology behind "logistic-system" and "space-platform-thruster".
    - Refactor a lot of the code to improve performance and kill potential bugs.
    - Set both mod settings : IPL platforms per tick, and IPL requests per tick to a default of 2 (you really shouldn't need to touch these settings, increasing these numbers will make the mod run faster, but also will also eat more UPS).
  Features:
    - Platforms can now send partial stacks instead of entire stacks. Meaning that they are able to send just 1 item.

Version: 1.0.1
Date: 13. 10. 2025
  Changes:
    - Add Patreon message.
