Space platforms : trash unrequested (hackertalks.com)

Is there a way to dump to a planet any unrequested inventory? Or a way a circuit can dump from the platform.

My space bus sometimes gets over packed and it builds up

I thought of a terrible solution. But I don't like it.

On the space platform, depending on what I have too much of, set a predetermined signal on say fish. 1001 equals smelters. On the ground, from a rocket silo, examine the fish request signal, and if I see 1,001, request smelters until the 1001 signal goes away.

Of course, this means maintaining a lookup table numbers to items. I don't like this at all, I will not implement it. But it would work

Use the fish signal, together with a circuit network cpu, to encode and transmit a digital stream of item ids that need to be sent down to the surface... I would go with the inserter over the edge method!
