10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I set up my first remote order between two bases?
Place a 
Stock Manifest Compiler next to your main storage, power it with redstone to generate a Stock Manifest, then carry that manifest to your remote base and insert it into a 
Stock Manifest Reader. Connect the reader to a 
Filter Requester or other logistics block to start ordering items, create an 
Item Request Ticket, and send it back to your main base via train or other transport.

You likely need a Station Chunkloader placed at the delivery station—without it, the chunks unload when the train arrives and the items can't be accessed. Place the chunkloader next to your station and link it so the area stays loaded for the five minutes needed to complete the pickup.
Can I automate item requests from my production line?
Yes, use a 
Ticket Crate connected to your production setup—it dispenses Item Request Tickets continuously, which can be sent back to your main base to restock items automatically. You can also use a Deployer to transfer materials checklist orders directly onto request tickets for seamless automation.

What's the difference between a Stock Manifest and an Item Request Ticket?
A Stock Manifest is a snapshot of a storage network's inventory that lets remote players see what's available; an Item Request Ticket is the actual order that gets sent back to fulfill a specific request for items.
