Looking for an Automated Gas Station

[SteveD80]

I have built up Minmus quite a bit.  I put a station up that has a science lab, lots of fuel storage, several support craft and lots of additional docking ports.  On Minmus I built a mining/refining base.  Right now I have to fly my landing tanker down near the base at which point a rover tanker docks with it and then the lander returns to the station while the rover returns to the base.  Is there a mod that will automate this?

There is IIRC a feature in the full MKS/OKS suite that automatically shifts resources between bases.  Partly to take the drudgery out of this very complex mod and its interlocking suite of RoverDude mods.  Partly so you can space out your various modules more than 2.5km apart, and not have your framerate annihilated when you come in range of a single 1000+ part logistics base.

However guessing by the nature of your question and your post count, I don't think you really want to take on the full MKS/OKS.  In my opinion, you are better off making your tankers extremely large (so you don't need to run missions so often) or even better, work on incorporating the full drill and refinery suite into all your big ships.  There may be slight resource efficiencies in having bases and tankers, but they are dwarfed by the gameplay efficiencies of ships that can simply refuel themselves, and have enough fuel onboard to get interesting places all by themselves.  IMHO.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I will probably get it once 1.1 is finalized.  I did look at making all in one ships but they tended to either be very large and difficult to fly or mined very slowly which is why I built the gas station.  Large tankers are a bit iffy as the station's part count makes docking smaller vessels challenging, I may build a dedicated tanker port off to the side for it.
