[MOD] Increase of Trade Dock storage-capacity (MiniatureMod)

Post by enenra »

Really simple mod, title says it all, really.

It does increase the storage-capacity of all player-owned trade docks. Whether it works with already existing player-owned TDs is not confirmed, but it surely works with newly built ones.

With the modification, a TD will be able to store up to 100 PACs, 186 1MJ-shields, 20 firestorm torpedoes, 15.000 ECells, 10.000 Cahoonas, etc.
This sort of increase with every ware you put into the dock.

Download (compatible with X3TC v3.4)

Outdated link:

The only file changed is the Globals.txt. The only value changed is the one in the fourth line counting from the end (now a 3 instead of a 0).

Putting a 2 into there would mean that TDs will have a storage-capacity of a M-sized station, putting 5 in there will make it have a storage-capacity of a L-sized station.
By the way: The increase in storage capacity will also happen with player-owned Equipment Docks. ;)

It's a very very simple mod I threw together in some seconds after we discussed about the uselessness of TDs in the Egosoft DevChat.
Credit goes to Sereniti for bringing up the topic, UniTrader and laux for testing and confirming that it works, I helped developing the idea and packed the mod as well as put it online.

Praise, critique and general feedback is always welcome. :)

Thanks you, I really like to get some more out of the TDs.

I forgot to mention: EQ docks will also be affected by the change. :)

Already existing trading docks

I see that this only affects docks that are built. What would need to be changed to make this apply to all the non-player docks? Also, I started a new game with this mod and the AI docks were still using the old value, player built docks were fine though. Are there dock size values stored elsewhere...perhaps in the galaxy map?

It is not possible to change the storage space of NPC tradedocks. And if it was possible, it would not be the best thing to do as it would screw up the economy. (wares in TDs and EQDs get removed over time - if they had more storage space, more wares would disappear and thus lead to a collapse of the economy)
