Shuttle loop times and rig counts are worked out card by card, from your tankers or tenders, your fill sites and your roads, once your officers enter them in setup.

Your stations.

Each card routes from the station that is first due, so the way in matches how your rigs come. Add or fix stations in setup.

Year one is a setup fee. It builds every card and covers all of year one, with the monthly checks and the note to the chief. From year two, $160 a year keeps them going.
