[SCR] Resource-Free Factory (4th June 2010)

[arcana75]

Original X3 Reunion script thread. Quite abit of discussion there.

This script simply removes a selected resource from your single factory (no complex). The command is found under Station Commands. You will be charged a fee for this, based on a simple formula:

X number of days * product cycles per day * resources used per cycle * average resource price

Upon activating the command you'll receive a message asking you which resource to remove. If you find the cost too little/much simply open the t file (7520-L044.xml) and change the number at the bottom (id=410). It is currently at 48 (48 gamehours). U can change that value to whatever you deem fit. Some figures based on 48 gamehours:

SPK added.

Thank you! I already made a super plex with 100 + stations and it was a pain in the arse.
I'm planning on making another one and this will save me a new monitor and a broken fist.

Hey, Loaded your script and tried it out on a solar power complex, the need for resources went away but all production stopped and would not start again. i used it on the complex and not the individual power plants before i combined them, would that cause this problem?

[MutantDwarf]

I believe that's a yes, sulo.

Hi, u gotta do it b4 u complex the station up. Or break the complex up.

BTW a new version is coming up which allows u to remove specific resources from a station instead of the whole lot. A feature I've been wanting since TR.

Added new version v205, replacing the old script with new single-resource version!

Hi,

I've downloaded your scritp, v205, and instead of text in the command menu i god Readtext...

I've checked your script and file setup.arcana75.rff is missing one line in the beginning

[arcana75]

Thanks for the bug report! What a blooper

EDIT: spk fixed.

[ogamerdg]

which one is the original where u pay x3 to get rid of all resources?

Also how do you start the command?

Hello, i was wondering if anyone could help with some tips to make a script similar to the one made by arcana for resource free factories, or has this script in a non spk format. Im a mac user and cant use the spk files XD.

Thanks in advance!

if you link me to the file and if it's for TC I can unpack it and upload the scripts for you, then add the link here.

I take it you can unzip rar files on a mac?

I've never used a mac so forgive my ignorance.

Yeah, i can use rar and then install the files on the t and script folders. Here is the link.

Tx a lot!

[Argonaught.]

Turns out I only have 7zip installed so .zipped them instead of .rar.
