Cargo Rocket Script Generator

Basic Settings

Script Type

One-way: single launchpad sends items one direction. Round-trip: generates scripts for BOTH ends so the rocket returns automatically.

Peripheral Name

Direction or device name seen from the PC. Check with peripheral.getNames(). e.g. top, bottom, left

Launch Origin

The planet the rocket is currently on. Required tier = max(origin tier, destination tier).

Destination

Target planet.

Energy Interval (sec)

How often to recheck energy while waiting.

Grounded Wait (sec)

How long to wait after the rocket actually comes to a stop (not a fixed timer from launch) before it's eligible to be reloaded and relaunched. Gives you time to walk over and use the rocket's inventory screen.

Fuel Check

Check fuel before launch. Supply via pipe to BOTTOM face.

Min Fuel (mB)

Min fuel needed before launch. Default 3000 mB = 3 buckets.

Cargo Fluid Check

Checks the cargo fluid currently aboard the rocket itself, however it got there (pipe or by hand).

Cargo Threshold (mB)

Target mB to wait for. 0 = empty, blank = full tank.

Pre-Launch Check

Items and cargo fluid live in the rocket's own inventory/tanks. Pipes and hoppers connected to the launchpad still load/unload them automatically while the rocket is grounded, or you can do it by hand via the rocket's inventory screen (right-click it). This script just waits for energy/fuel and triggers the launch.

Don't launch until the rocket's inventory is empty

Safety check: if leftover cargo wasn't unloaded by hand last cycle, hold the rocket on the pad instead of launching it again with old items still aboard.

Per-Direction Cargo

Choose whether items and cargo fluid are loaded at each end. Useful when cargo should only flow one way.

Origin →

Load items Load cargo fluid

Destination →

Load items Load cargo fluid

Unchecking "Load" still unloads/drains at that end — it only skips loading new cargo before launch.

Transfer Mode

Simple: bulk transfer. Manual: slot-by-slot.

Load Filter

Item ID filter for loading. Blank = all items.

Unload Filter

Item ID filter for unloading. Blank = all items.

Wait Before Launch

Hold the rocket on the pad and keep loading until a condition is met, instead of launching immediately after one load pass.

LOAD (pad → rocket)

UNLOAD (rocket → pad)

Cargo Fluid Load

Hold the rocket on the pad until the cargo fluid tank reaches a target amount before launching.

Fluid Load Wait

Requires a fluid pipe feeding the TOP/SIDE face of the launchpad while waiting.

Rocket Scanner Integration

v1.2.3+ only. Reports rocket name and live status to the Rocket Scanner item's GUI via setRocketName/setRocketStatus.
