Description:

This script package allows you to buy Split Spacefly Farms from any Split Shipyard. You buy it just as you would any other station using your own TL or by hiring one. Then you buy the factory. The Split Spacefly Farm costs about 973,857 credits. The demand for spaceflies is huge. It is not uncommon to have line ups waiting to buy your spaceflies and the profit margin is very high, about 3000 credits per unit sold.

Features:

- The Split Spacefly Farm produces Spaceflies. The farm requires Energy Cells and Scruffin Fruit. The Split farm workers and the spacefies both like to eat scruffin fruit.

- After the farm is placed in space, it takes about 1 minute for the farm workers inside to reset the product and primary resources for the factory. Once they have done that, it is ready for operations.

- The farm can be stand alone or it can be connected to a Scruffin Factory etc to form a Complex. Or, you can also connect it to any existing Complex that has Scruffin Factories in it.

- Warning: An uninstall was created to remove stand alone Spacefly Farms, but it is not included with this SPK package. Reason: If you connect your Spacefly Farm to a major Complex and then use the uninstall, the Complex would be completely disconnected and the Hub would be lost. So as it stands now, if you buy the Spacefly Farm then it is in your current game for keeps, no uninstalling and no refunds.

Installation: Use the X3 Script Installer.

Uninstall: Use the X3 Script Installer.

Thats cool. Spaceflies are really needed. For the Hunters, Cycrow has written a script, so You have wrote one for the Farmers

One thing: Your script uses no language file. This means, all text displayed by your script will be inside the script, so translation is only possible by altering the script itself. Maybe the only text You use for it, is the name of the fab shown up in the shipyard, so you could think, a t-file would be wasted.
But you have created also other scripts, why not use one language file for all of them. This would make it easier to igve your script a broader audience. Think of all the non-english X3 players

Just an idea, it's up to You

[Nividium]

[LuckyKnight]

Oh, I see, used name is in the original language files (but unused by vanilla) It should be displayed in the installed language of x3, cause you're referencing in your script only to a text id. So all is ok and you dont nee a t-file of your own (atm)
Keep up the good work

[ouch]

there is already a spacfly farm in XTM. So adding this script might cause some problems for XTM users.

just fair warning.

[Nividium]

I haven't installed, used or played the XTM mod and don't use any mods, so I couldn't tell you if there could be a conflict with it or not. I know it works fine in the non-plot game starts of vanilla game. That's all I care about. I am not going to code for possible Mod compatibility too.

nice to see this, i think i may download just in case i start playing again, the stories about spaceflies mention nostrop as a foodstuff, so i was actually wondering if this would be a good rescource too, as 3k per unit profit, if its got a small time scale to make could be a little much

currently running as well...

any help?

[mccabp]

ooops!!!

needed to let it set up...lol...

my bad!

and many thanks for the ace scripts! =D

[Meltdown]

I would very much like to link up the spacefly farm with a scruffin farm in a complex, but the lack of complex joints on the model makes this impossible. I wonder: can the game/script somehow be edited so the spacefly farm uses another factory model that can be linked up?

Thanks.

Install X3 Cheat Scripts v1.4 to change a factories product,

Once it is installed, select the factory's whose product you want to change. Choose the Command Console to bring up the stations command. Click on one of the empty slots to bring up a menu. It is the "change product" command you want. Press "Enter" to start the command.

You have to select the station first. Then you have to select "spaceflies" then choose up to 3 wares that you may want make the spaceflies from, otherwise press "enter" on "unknown" 3 times.

Later, MBD.

[Meltdown]

I'm not sure I get it.
How will this make my (already deployed) factory linkable?

Or are you suggesting I spawn another factory, make it as if it was the spacefly farm, kill off the existing farm and pretend it never was there?
