Overview:
Player workshops allows a new trading command option with any player owned equipment dock, trading station, Hub and PHQ that allows you to apply maximum upgrades (Engine Tuning, Rudder Optimisation and Cargo bay extension) to ships. It also allows the downloading of software and additional equipment. (Note only applies vanilla tech).
The player still has to pay for the services like the other races and represents the equivalent cost in resources required to provide the details. This money is taken directly from the players account.
When a ship is docked in one of the above applicable stations a new ship trade command "Workshop" becomes available. The menus provided are fairly straight forward.
Clicking on an upgrade will install the maximum upgrade value at appropriate price based on current tunings/upgrades. In the case of a ship having a maximum cargo upgrade value greater than a 1000 units it will allow increments of up to a 1000 to be installed in one go. The equipment/software sub-menu allows you to install the individual equipment or at the bottom install all available options for that ship.
Price in both cases are indicated next to the items.
A new automatic equipping mode is applied in V2.0. After configuring the class packages in the configuration menu and selecting wether tunings and cargo are upgraded, the dock will automatically equip the ship based on class and settings. It does this every 25 seconds by checking the dock ships and is not triggered at actual docking time.
Regardless of what you set in the class packages and settings for tunnings it will try to install everything missing based on your settings. However if it cant install or afford a certain piece of equipment or tunings it will ignore it and move onto the next item. It does tunings first, then cargo then equipment upgrades. Both black market settings and take monies from the dock first applies to the auto process as before.
Note that the starting and stopping of the auto process is specific to each dock and therefore you have to start it running using the ship command, similarly to stop it for a specific dock.
NOTE: You have to run the configuration menu from the hotkey to initialise and set up the workshop:
Alternatively if you have the Community Plugin Configuration installed it will load the menu for use within it. This reduces the need to define a hotkey just for the Workshop configuration menu. (Note: optional I check in set-up wether its installed)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration:
There is a user configuration menu provided that allows the player to set-up which items of equipment become available away from the suggested defaults of "common software". This can be accessed by a user definable hotkey. This needs to be run even if wanting to just use default settings.
The configuration menu will also allow you to access the "packages" sub-menu. Here you can specify up to 10 user definable lists of bulk packages in order to install quickly packages to different types of ships in the trade menu. The configuration is independant of the main inclusion list so you can freely specify which sets of equipment/software to include without encumberance to the main include list. Packages can only be installed if all of the items in the list can be installed to the ship using the workshop.
The menu also asks wether you want funds to be taken from the station account as a priority first to the players monies. Default is no or taken directly from the player account.
This set-up menu also allows you to specify wether on the equipment/software menu if you have an item installed to remove it from a ship at half price. Default is set to no.
This set-up will also allow you to specify wether the command can be used on ships. Such that player workshops can be used on M1 and TL Carriers. However the command will only function for the ship and it's docked ships if the carrier is in space and not docked at a station.
The config menu will also allow you to increase the base value of equipment/software if you prefer to add price as an extra balancer to their availabilty, this is optional. This is known as "black market" pricing (thanks to user draffutt for the concept) and you can add between 1 and 400 % increase to the value. So if you want to double the price you would make the black market value 100% to give a total of 200%. Note however the removal of equipment (if set for use) still removes at half average price and ignores black market settings, this is to avoid a potential free cash generator.
The configuration menu can be used to set auto configuration packages by class and wether to apply max tunings and cargo upgrades automatically.
It also allows the removal of the hotkey and variables used for uninstall. (Remember to save the game after use, before removing the software).
The menu also allows you to quickly move back to suggested defaults if you prefer them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was set-up as a scripted interface rather than adding wares so that it can be easily adapted to various docks without the need to introduce wares on them. Thus making installation/uninstall easier aswell as more compatible with other mod uses. It also means a top-up script or pseudo production process is not required to maintain capacities, which may have interfered with Hub, PHQ or other mod dock usage with regards to ware volumes.
