Station question... what am i missing?

[zintype]

I think i am noticing a possible bug.

I've built a station... great...
i've given the manager a large budget... done...
i've even given it two ships... bla...
i've let it run for a complete 24 hrs... ???...
and yet... it is not producing anything... nothing in inventory... no eta... and the ships show they are trading or what not w/ whom ever... but aren't... and never do...

so is there something i'm missing or is this another known bug where the stations you build dont actually DO anything... other than cost a ton...

That is your station producing and does it have the required resources to make said product?

Open your sector window, select the station and press 4 for Details. Next, expand the Production Modules tree and select the production module you want to know about and press 4 again for those details. That gives you a break down of the required resources. You can either deliver them yourself or set a budget and wait for NPC traders to slowly fill the order with their cargo minivans.

The ships assigned to your station can only operate as far as your stations operation range is. You'll need to build and upgrade the radar part to increase range.

If you're running patch 1.17, trade is probably broken for you.

hopefully egosoft will release a patch today.
