## Create Aeronautics: Automated Logistics<\/p>\n
**Early development mod. Expect rough edges and possible breaking changes.**<\/p>\n
Automated Logistics is an unofficial Create Aeronautics add-on for recording and replaying ship routes.<\/p>\n
Fly a route once, save it, then let the ship repeat it from its **Ship Transponder**. The transponder now owns the full route workflow: recording routes, storing stops, and running the ship\u2019s route plan.<\/p>\n
This is **not a full autopilot**. Ships currently follow recorded route data rather than dynamically piloting around obstacles.<\/p>\n
Primarily designed for Create Aeronautics airships. Other Sable-based vehicles may work experimentally. Ground vehicles are not officially supported and may behave unpredictably.<\/p>\n
Feedback is welcome in the mod page comments or by opening an Issue on GitHub.<\/p>\n

## Current Features<\/p>\n
\u2022 Named Airship Stations
\n\u2022 Ship Transponders for naming, identifying, and controlling ships
\n\u2022 Manual station-to-station route recording
\n\u2022 Directional per-ship route segments, such as `Base Dock -> Mining Dock`
\n\u2022 Automatic playback of recorded routes
\n\u2022 Transponder-owned stop list and route plan
\n\u2022 Route plans can be started from any valid station already present in the recorded stop chain
\n\u2022 Stop management from the transponder, including: stop order changes, stop removal, and wait\/dock logic editing
\n\u2022 Timed waits
\n\u2022 Docking-aware waits
\n\u2022 Cargo inactivity waits through connected docking systems
\n\u2022 Direct linking for station-side and ship-side docking connectors
\n\u2022 Redstone outputs from stations and transponders for dock automation
\n\u2022 In-world landing area and flight path previews
\n\u2022 Ownership and permission support for multiplayer
\n\u2022 Ponder\/in-game learning support<\/p>\n
## Important Limitations<\/p>\n
\u2022 No pathfinding
\n\u2022 No obstacle avoidance
\n\u2022 No automatic rerouting
\n\u2022 No crash recovery
\n\u2022 Routes must still be flown and recorded manually first
\n\u2022 The ship must be able to complete the route normally under Sable physics
\n\u2022 Routes are tied to the ship\/transponder they were recorded with
\n\u2022 Ships do not phase through blocks or ignore collisions
\n\u2022 Chunk unload handling is improved, but full unloaded route progression is not implemented
\n\u2022 Docking still requires player-built redstone wiring
\n\u2022 Cargo handling depends on existing Create \/ Create Simulated docking systems
\n\u2022 This is not yet a full live-piloted autopilot system<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
## Basic Setup<\/p>\n
1. Build and assemble a stable airship.
\n2. Place Airship Stations at each destination and give them clear names.
\n3. Place a Ship Transponder on the ship and name it.
\n4. Open the transponder and use the **top-right toggle** to switch to `Route Recording Mode`.
\n5. Press `+`, then choose the origin and destination stations.
\n6. Fly manually to the destination and save the route segment from the transponder.
\n7. Repeat for each route leg you want to automate.
\n8. Use the transponder\u2019s **Stops** screen to reorder stops or set wait\/dock logic if needed.
\n9. Start the route from any valid station already present in the route chain.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
## Optional Docking Setup<\/p>\n
Docking Connectors still need redstone activation.<\/p>\n
For docking-enabled stops:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Place one Docking Connector on the ship
\n\u2022 Place one Docking Connector near the station
\n\u2022 Link the ship dock from the Ship Transponder
\n\u2022 Link the station dock from the Airship Station
\n\u2022 Wire the station\/transponder redstone outputs into your docks<\/p>\n
## Design Goal<\/p>\n
Automated Logistics is meant to feel like a physics-aware logistics layer for Create Aeronautics.<\/p>\n
Instead of placing path markers, you prove the route by flying it once. The automation then replays that recorded route and handles stop order, waits, docking signals, and route flow from the transponder.<\/p>\n
