StationFlow

Automation and batch management for interstellar logistics stations in Dyson Sphere Program.

Late-game saves often have hundreds of logistics stations, and pairing them by hand — one by one, through the vanilla UI — is a huge pain. StationFlow lets you generate, preview and apply pairings in bulk, visualize the whole logistics network, and diagnose why a station isn't delivering.

Features

Overview & Naming (Tab 1)

• Table of every logistics station in the cluster: name, interstellar supply/demand items with icons, planet, behavior, groups, P2P route count
• Multi-select (Ctrl / Shift click) and batch rename with templates using variables: {item} {role} {supply} {demand} {storage} {galaxy} {planet} {gid} {seq:2} (Chinese aliases are also accepted)
• Preset templates (full form / classic / per-planet / storage) plus an auto-recommended template based on your selection
• Cluster-wide duplicate avoidance; one-click undo

Rule-based Pairing (Tab 2)

• Mode 1 — Name-driven: parses [item][role] from station names and pairs supply/demand stations of the same item, sorted by demand gap (descending) and distance (ascending)
• Mode 2 — Slot-driven: reads each station's interstellar supply/demand slots directly. No naming required
• Three pairing mechanisms: Point-to-Point (station-to-station), Planet Route, and Star-System Route (pairs inside the same star system automatically fall back to Planet Routes, since vanilla routes cannot be expressed at system level for those)
• Parameters: max K supply stations per demand station, minimum supply ratio, allow/disallow cross-system pairing
• Generate → preview (＋ new / ✓ existing) → transactional apply (frame-budgeted writes, a single pairing-table rebuild) → one-click undo
• Single-source items are skipped with a notice (the game's built-in fallback pairing already covers them); storage slots and local logistics are never touched

Logistics Network (Tab 3)

• Planet × item traffic heatmap: green = output, orange = input, yellow = both, dim = configured but idle, gray = storage
• Data comes from the game's own traffic statistics (≈ last minute); hover a cell for details

Diagnostics (Tab 4)

• Standstill risk: behavior set to "Only / Designated" but with no P2P, no group and no route — in vanilla these have no fallback, so the station will not dispatch
• Missing supply: items demanded by interstellar stations but supplied by none
• Tight supply: total demand gap far exceeds the stock on hand

Batch Tools (Tab 5)

• Topology pairing across the selected stations: Ring / Chain / Star / All-to-All (same-planet pairs are skipped automatically)
• Batch-set behavior (Ignore / Prioritize / Only / Designated); batch join / leave groups (1–30)
• Everything runs through the transactional executor: frame-budgeted and undoable

Auto-Pilot

• Off by default. When enabled, it checks every 30 seconds for new stations and applies incremental pairing using your current rule settings (idempotent — only new pairs are written)
• The per-run action cap is configurable; it disables itself on error

Installation

1. Install BepInExPack_Dyson_Sphere_Program (via r2modman or manually)
2. Install this mod (via r2modman or by unzipping into your game folder)
3. Launch the game and press F8 to open the management panel

Save-safe: the mod only uses native game data fields. Your saves load normally after uninstalling.

How it works (why batch operations are safe)

• All writes go through vanilla entry points / native fields: point-to-point pairs into station2stationRoutes, routes into astro2astroRoutes, names through WriteExtraInfoOnEntity
• Changes are merged and the pairing table is rebuilt exactly once (RefreshTraffic); writes are spread across frames to avoid hitches
• The pairing table itself is not saved — the game rebuilds it on load — so a crash mid-operation cannot corrupt your save
• Every execution records an inverse action list, so results can be undone with one click

Keys

Key	Action
F8	Toggle the management panel
F9	Debug window (development use)

Compatibility

• Game 0.10.x (Mono, BepInEx 5.4.x)
• No known conflicts with UXAssist, Multfuntion_mod and similar mods (game dispatch logic is not altered)
