The Distribution Launcher System or DLS is a Megastructure that provides construction anchors for the various other Megastructures. Only one can be constructed at a time per save.

Uses
Once powered, each of the following sections may be used:
Component Printer
A Megastructure Component Printer can be found attached to the DLS, and is used to print Construction Anchor Landing Pads.
Construction Anchor Tubes
On one side, four tubes with Construction Anchors for each of the Megastructures can be found. Buttons are available on each tube to load a given Construction Anchor into the launch tube. Once loaded, any Construction Anchor Landing Pads can be activated to request the loaded Construction Anchor.
Orbital Platform Launch Tube
For the Orbital Platform specifically, there is a dedicated Orbital Platform Launch Tube for it. 'Loading' the Construction Anchor will output it there, where it can then be removed and used as usual. The Orbital Platform Launch Tube is used to launch each of the stages into orbit of the selected planet, once provided with the printed package.
Lore
A data log with entries from Aira Domen, someone involved in the development of the Megastructures, are found on the DLS.
Notes
- Without the Megatech DLC, only the Component Printer and Intermodal Terminal Construction Anchor are available.
- The DLS will launch the Construction Anchor to a Construction Anchor Landing Pad regardless of planet. This could be a different planet, the same planet, or even on the Orbital Platform.
