Bank and Movement
The Bank tab manages resource movement for modules that need support from a selected bank or main fleet source. The General settings also define the main fleet location and optional daily import/export behavior used by movement-related automation.
Overview
Use this guide when you want the extension to move resources while respecting build, research, lifeform, and fleet-slot requirements.
Subtabs
Settings
The Settings subtab controls when and how the bank can provide resources.
Key controls:
- Source selects the bank celestial or the main fleet location.
- Allow Buildings lets bank transfers support building upgrades.
- Allow Research lets bank transfers support standard research.
- Allow Lifeform Buildings lets bank transfers support lifeform building upgrades.
- Allow Lifeform Research lets bank transfers support lifeform research.
- Transport Ships chooses which ship types can move resources.
- Min Free Fleet Slots reserves fleet slots for other automation.
- Min Bank Deuterium prevents the bank source from being drained too far.
- Allow Multiple Batches permits more than one transfer batch when needed.
General Movement Settings
The General Settings tab contains shared movement controls used by several modules:
- Main Fleet Location defines the main fleet celestial used by Bank, Auto Farm origin choices, and pause evacuation transfers.
- Daily Import/Export enables a recurring resource movement check.
- Daily Import/Export Source selects automatic source detection, the main fleet location, or a specific celestial.
- Daily Import/Export Resource chooses metal, crystal, or deuterium.
- Check Now resets the next daily import/export check so the module can run again.
Queue
The Queue subtab shows requested transfers, active transfers, completed items, failed items, and cancelled work. Use it to review what the bank is doing before changing settings.
Recommended Setup
- Pick a bank source that normally has enough deuterium and cargo ships.
- Configure the main fleet location before using any option that references main fleet movement.
- Reserve fleet slots if expeditions, farming, or evacuation modules are also active.
- Enable only the dependency types you actually want the bank to support.
- Watch the queue after enabling the tab to confirm requests are reasonable.
