Explanation of the token system which is used to control platforms in advanced ways since request conditions cannot be sent to the platform hub nor can signals be sent from platforms to other platforms.

A little more as to why it's bad to have a non-promethium biter egg carrying ship - if the egg cargo ship and the promethium ship are at Nauvis at the same time then the silos cannot distinguish between the platforms when they launch their eggs. Even if you have separate silos with separate token conditions which only enable when their respective ship is in orbit, once enabled they can launch to the wrong platform .My guess is it's preferring either the ship with the largest request or the platform that's been in orbit the longest but either way the answer will always be the promethium ship meaning the cargo ship never gets its eggs. It's easy to stop them from launching if both ships are in orbit but that's not what we want. So right now my promethium ships just drop a small amount of eggs on Fulgora on the way out for prod module crafting. At some point I'll probably move that craft to Nauvis to avoid the issue entirely.

Credit to VaderDev for the original "store an object outside the hub" suggestion.
