Clutter - what's it all for? (self.starfield)

I'm further along in the game and have an outpost set up where I can easily dump resources, along with production from other places providing all kinds of resources.

Thing is, what was I supposed to do with it all? I started making quite the tower of solid storage along with a good amount of resources, but 6 stories later, I shut down my mine and disabled the resources coming in from other planets because I got tired of trying to keep up with the intake. I still have more than I know what to do with and even if I start automated production of components, what do I do with that?

Am I missing something?

I mainly just want to dump all the resources from my ship and have most of the stuff when I'm building something (which I do).

Resource drop-off had been sketchy lately. It works sometimes, sometimes not (stuck in the output hopper). Any advice on that would be fantastic.

It’s not you, it’s the game that’s missing something. I too am trying to find a use for it all and am at a loss. I also am collecting things I no longer need because you can’t turn off the resource tracker after completing research on a project.

At this point, I've transferred all my resources from a 6-outpost system to the Lodge. With the amount of stuff I have, there's simply no need to go back to my outposts for any crafting.

I'm glad I've never bothered with the tracker, because it would frustrate me to no end to not be able to turn it off.
