Station Ledger?

Post by Conbadicus »

Can we get some kind of logbook that shows everything a manager, or station, or trader DID?

It's a tough call - I'm hoping top add some functionality like this to my Station Logistics mod at some point but I haven't yet worked out how to handle trades between the station and NPC traders.

Well there are tons of things that report to my Event Monitor, but that goes away rather quickly.

Yes but they are mostly (all?) player related - a full log for a station would need to capture NPC trades and mass-traffic trades. It's do-able but not as simple as might first seem.

Sure, but this just puts the details to your log book. In fact this adds more steps to get no new info. Instead of just click details and seeing all the info, you click comm and report then go back a few windows, open up log. Don't really see the point...

Then why didn't you provide some constructive feedback in that mod's thread instead of asking for an entirely new mod without providing any details about how you would like it to work?

Sorry ~ This isn't about Euclids mod. That was merely ".. heres why euclids mod doesn't directly address my original request.."

This was an idea to view everything that has been going on - Transactions, orders, etc.

The problem with doing that up until recently is save bloat - everything in the logbook goes into the save file and stays there till you manually delete it on the logbook screen. With the ui opening up we now have the option to save to another file from lua under /documents/egosoft/rebirth/xxxx which will help immensely with exporting information for mods and addons.

Any possible work into this? I'd really like to know how my stations are doing. Every once in a while a station will say, "we've generated significant surplus" and give me the extra money over their budget, but there isn't any name so I've no idea who it was - unless I recognize the voice/avatar.
