Hiring staff for Trader's Corner - Resolved itself.

Post by Quinnell » Fri, 23. Jul 21, 20:31

My PHQ originally had a pre-hired person for the trader's corner. However, he has since been promoted to a ship captain. Is there any way to put a new person in this position? Very useful for depositing inventory to the PHQ via Comms. I am on 4.10 B4

I don't think you're supposed to be able to promote them!

I'm also confused. What does the station trader NPC have to do with remotely ordering ships to deposit inventory items?

Also if you think this is a new beta version issue then it belongs in the beta forum.

I jumped the gun on this one. Looks like the trader is automatically replaced if you have a habitat. Can close this out.

I believe 4.0 has the issue where the item traders sometimes do not appear. It certainly was an issue with early 4.10 betas but is now resolved. Still, I will double check if it could additionally be down to some workforce weirdness.

I'm so confused. I was under the impression that the only NPC personnel you hired for stations were the Station Manager and the Ship Seller. What am I missing?

You aren't missing anything. You *should* have a traders' corner and NPC tradeperson as soon as you have any working S/M dock on your station. No habitat is needed.

On the PHQ, you sometimes have to teleport to another location from the science lab (such as the security office etc) before you can see the traders' corner in the teleport address list - especially if you start off with a dock other than a 1M/6S.
