X2 - Move factory location when placing it with hired TL

Post by Syn3rgy » Thu, 6. Jul 17, 09:43

Hi all

When I want to place a factory, I call the TL over and then ask it to drop the freight.

A yellow block appears and then flashes a location, but I don't know how to move it to a more favourable spot.

I am trying to set up a loop in Herrons Nebula and would like to place the factories as close together as possible.

What is the key to move that location or get more options of where it can be placed?

Moving to X Trilogy Universe (vanilla gameplay) forum.

I'm not too sure how your issue arose as you should have been taken through a help tutorial that tells you about using the numberpad keys to move the station icon before final placement when building your first station in the game, but this thread may help you anyway.

Thanks Alan

It seems the Function key on my laptop is not working properly, hence the numpad keys not being able to move the location.

Once I have that working, I will give it another crack.

try [Num Lock] - this should perma-enable the "fake" Num Pad ;) (dont forget to disable it when done 6r y64 w533 wr5te 5n n40bers :D )
