No clue, as said i don't run it on it might affect the logbook, as far as i can think of. If maximed profit isn't the goal turn freetrade on. Will take alot less time to find orders. But in extent your profit won't be the highest. I suggest SETA.. And watch the universe become yours. You're welcome hopefully i didn't mistake anything for wrong otherwise, people are free to correct me.

If you have Station Trader enabled it should of ignored illegal wares, unless you have license to sell them.
If station trader and station smuggler are disabled, and its still acting like this. Then there's a major issue somewhere.

Also 'Check Distance' takes the distance between the trader, and the two stations its trading with. Then basically subtracts 2% from the deals rating for each jump it has to do.
And No, enabling it doesn't affect calculation time. Hope that clears up any questions.
On a side note, I may expose the penalty per jump as a configurable slider to allow people to control how aggressively they want to trim based on distance.

Crystal clear, wasn't at my pc at the time so indeed got freetrade and fasttrade mixed up. Loving what you did to the beta V4. So much to costumize and an easy copy paste for other ships.
I do have one question if i enable trade ban and select for example Argon. I don't trade with Argon or does activating player trade ban something else entirely. Or is it needed for the script to recognize that i marked Argon Federation .
Anyhow much appreciated for the answers. On one sidenote i haven't ran into laggy situations yet with around 19 ships on 15 speed to calculate. Have been running one playthrough for 1day and 21 hours with this on now. One side thing i found is when assigning Large trade ships to a station they do exactly as told trade and make it their home station. But they won't show up as subordinates. They stay in the unassigned ships section. Small detail which may be due to my perticular station lacking a 3point dock.
Running medium graphics. GTX 1060 16GB ram and a 8700K at 4.5ghz. And i can't tell any difference in performance. As to removing the mod. Amazing mod. Keep up the good work and an amazing thanks to you.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
It's excatly setup like in my screenshot. So station trader and station smuggler is disabled and only smart-chips added to tradeable wares. I can provide the savegame if needed.ludsoe wrote: ↑Thu, 10. Jan 19, 03:13That's.... Actually really odd. Are Station Trader/Station Smuggler enabled?XTC0R 's PostShowXTC0R wrote: ↑Wed, 9.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
I think the mod is buggy, when I set up the trader to trade specific wares and I add them, the trader resets all wares to all and starts buying and selling random wares.
Chosing wares does not matter as it resets to all wares.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
I just wanted to add that I have a 2nd freighter set up excatly the same just with another station wharf as home and this one is just idling around the same time my other tatertrader did two trips with spacefuel instead of smart-chips.XTC0R wrote: ↑Thu, 10.

If you want to send me a save, I can try loading it and seeing what the scripts actually doing.
Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Are you using the release version of v4? If your settings were indeed exactly as the picture shows then station trader shouldn't even be running. Honestly I have no clue whats going wrong here.

I can provide a savegame when I'm back at home in about 6h. I downloaded v4 yesterday from nexusmods.
But why should the Tatertrader not trade smart-chips with my settings?
Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Well it should be trading only smart-chips, but for some reason it's picking up other wares. And the only part that would even look into picking up other wares is station trader mode.XTC0R wrote: ↑Thu, 10. Jan 19, 11:28Are you using the release version of v4?

So either station trader mode is somehow enabled, or something else is wrong.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
It's not trading with the wharf I set as home station (but did NOT activate station trade). So I if station trade would somehow be active it should trade with the home station not with random stations I guess.ludsoe wrote: ↑Thu, 10.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Any tricks to do build storage trade for my own station only?
Basically i need hull parts. Even when using station trade, it still kept on selling to the Argon wharf that is in the same sector as me. The "buy" price at plan build is 100% but it still insists on selling it to the Argon wharf.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
QUESTION: If i assign several S-traders under a larger ship, dockable. Will the larger ship filter down its order to its new minions?
I'm hoping to assign one large ship to trade for a NPC shipyard and give it lots of minions in hopes of not having to click the orders manually and keep my property-menu clean of all the small ships...
EDIT: Looks like i can only assign them as def...
Is there a way to "mass order" small ships, or copy orders from one ship, to multiple others?

Try setting the buy modifier to 200%, should help the trader prioritize your stations.clzcoolzpro wrote: ↑Sat, 12. Jan 19, 12:37Any tricks to do build storage trade for my own station only?

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
This mod is looking great!
X games always require a trader mod for some reason.
I haven't read the whole thread but is there any chance in the future of restricting factions seperately for buy and sell so you can still buy from a faction but not sell to them for a particular set of wares?

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Didn't pay attention to this at first since I figured "who needs yet another autotrader script", but this is really fantastic. Level of detail, options, etc, quality of the interface and documentation - huge step up from the vanilla autotrader (and better than what I recall of the X3 trading scripts even).
Could I get some tips on the best way to set these up to focus on supplying NPC shipyards in a particular sector? I assume if it's a single shipyard it's relatively straightforward using the "station trader" option - but what about if you want to supply multiple shipyards in one sector? If I set "homebound", only trade ship-building wares, maximum buy distance, and zero sell distance, is that the best way to ensure that they'll only fly routes to supply the shipyards in their home sector? Does sell distance mean distance from current location or distance from home sector (and does it plan the sale at the same time as the purchase?), is homebound unnecessary if sell distance is set to zero?

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Hi,
thx for this mod.
Now my stations will make credits and the storrage will not be overfilled
I made a german translation for your mod.
Also you can now easy use other languages
English is included.
If you want I can give you a link to download the changed ai-script and the language files.
