Didn't I add "hide from property menu" in LU's MSCI?

Description for the addon says "Then it will go back home to unload, then scan again all sectors, etc." - but you're saying it will not unload of the homebase is a station. (Which I can confirm, tried with Equipment Dock and HQ so far, it just docks with the station and then keeps all the loot for itself, then scans for more loot to get its greedy paws on.) But the command doesn't work unless the homebase is a dock(station).

I haven't played modded X3 much, but I figured something like an Equipment Dock would be a dock, yet it doesn't unload on those either, at least not the ones I've tried. Do I need to use a specific homebase dock for it to actually unload the wares it has picked up, like the description says it will?

Why am i not able to start a collector? I have not a single one active, i have a Vulture TS fully fitted with every possible equipement (I tried really hard before asking here) but it has no homebase. What requirements am I missing?

Repacked into a proper zip.

Removed the "avoid enemy sectors" check in Quick Explore. Now the explorers always try to avoid enemy sectors by default (could cause annoying repetitive messages during E/I).

Collector

This script adds the "Collect Wares In Universe" command. The ship will search for all known sectors inside which you have at least one Advanced Satellite. I tried to keep it non-cheaty, so it takes a while to scan all sectors, but the ship will always go where the most valuable wares are. Then it will go back home to unload, then scan again all sectors, etc. You cannot have more than one Collector at the same time. It will use the Quantum Jumpgate Extension and the Transporter Device.
[/quote]

I'm having trouble with this - how do I set up the collector? The option for 'Collect all wares in Universe' is always greyed out for me. The ship has Special command software MK 1 installed, which appears to be the only pre-requisite?

I will add that the ship has a homebase (does it need to be an EQ/PHQ? It is currently a wheat farm as I wanted a cheap one to homebase UT's to). I am using a TM to do this.

Thank you.

You can't unload stuff to a factory. Homebase must be a Sanctuary. And you need a Transporter Device as well. Check the encyclopedia for all command requirements.

Thank you! I will try again once I have my PHQ (not playing Mayhem).

For the Collector addon, I am using a TL, I have jump-drive and quantum addon, and I do not have a station yet. The option to collect loot through the universe is grayed out and will it let me select it. Do I need a home station for the TL or do TLs not work?

The collector works fine so far, but he doesn't drop his wares at his homebase (an EQ).
He refuels himself to his autojump value and properly collects wares.

Is this intended, or did I miss something?

The collector needs a homebase to work. It also needs a transporter device.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am :D

Hi Joubarbe,

Thank you for these scripts, I installed the collector, he is picking up the wares but is not unloading them at the phq. Is there anything I missed?

Any comment on this @joubarbe? I experience the same. I checked your file and saw that you included a dropwares variable, but I have no experience in modding and don't want to break it.

Do you have the file Lib.DropWares.xml in X3\addon\scripts?
It's included in Mayhem, but I don't remember if I created it, or if it is from LU.

EDIT: You don't. I've uploaded a new version with the missing file.

Is there any check for enemy presence or enemy ownership of the sector the Universe Collector tries to collect in? Mine just decided to collect two 25MJ shields from OCV Ares Iota which happened to still have the satellites put there before the invasion.
If there is not such check, is it a big change to add such?

Go to your personal console, there's a blacklist feature. That's only in Mayhem though.

Is there any way to increase the Automatic Fund Transfer limit higher than 20mil? Ideally, I'd like it to be around 50mil.
