[REQ] Direct Shipping

[OOZ662]

As far as I can tell, Egosoft continues its traditional refusal to let us simply move wares automatically into X4. All I want is to be able to tell a ship to fly to one of my stations, pick up as many units of a specific ware as it possibly can, then fly to a second of my stations and drop off as many as it possibly can before repeating the task with zero regard for ware prices or moving credits around. They came so close with the Repeat Orders function, but not only does it "Trade Wares" instead of "Exchange Wares" and thus get uselessly involved with prices and credits, but I constantly see traders assigned with what can only be the proper settings departing their origin with a partial load then departing their destination with a partial load remaining while the station starves of resources.

There are a few trader mods which comprises the feature you are looking for. Probably closest match is the Mules and Warehouses mod although I have not yet tested it myself. You can also try the AutoTrader but it will trade wares between all of your stations rather than between specific ones exclusively.

Hope that helps

You sure?
Even if you give him the repeat order and use the transfer wares feature instead of the trade ware feature in the context menu?
should be two, the one for trading that can only trade as much as the station trades and the transfer order that ignores the limits and where
you can exchange as much as you have storage.

Thank you. I'll have a read through and see what's what.

I have never seen such an option.

Again, so very close, but they only haul items available on Sell Order. I guess I just have to give up on my dream of having my station sell to the public only when the other station it's supplying is full. I suppose I can have the end station sell the "overflow" wares that the mules bring it, but that feels like wasted trips given that the mules don't focus a single ware...oh well.

A long time ago, there was a little mod for that:

Nexus:

egosoft:

It is certainly no longer compatible with X4 v4.00 but if someone could take a look...

use this , u tell the ship where to get it, where to dropp it, and what wares u need.
its nto working with ressources, but with resscources its easy with replay orders.
just assign a ship to replay orders ( RO ) and tell him to buy ressources at point A, than go to your other complex and tell the ship to sell the wares at complex b .....thats all
create a trade order for station A and tell station A only to sell the rssources to your faction. at complex B u can just use the autoby and auto price finder options, thats all for the rssources
