Thanks DrakkirDrakkir wrote:I was the one having problems installing the mod with the cycrow plugin manager... I ended up finally just extracting the files from the SPK and copy/pasting them by hand to get everything working...
The plugin manager kept saying "For Wrong Game..." and would delete the scripts out of the directories.. Which is I think what Rrail's issue is...
There could be a number of reasons why this happens and it will depend on the Node configuration, ware settings.Drakkir wrote:I have a couple questions myself...
I've placed 8 FDN Nodes (S)mall ones all about 7-8 sectors apart, creating a HUGE network, spanning a huge part of the galaxy... And I have 3 complex's connected too it, as well as about 25-30 individual factories/mines connected. All of these complexs/mines/etc, I have changed the node setting from "Default" to my FDN node located in "Nyanna's Hideout". And thus all the wares etc show up in its menu.
Now randomly and I don't know why, but wares are appearing in the other 7 FDN Nodes, spread around the galaxy... I haven't found a way to stop it really, or should I even?
The pricing information set in the Node menu only affects FDN and the price it will buy & sell at. FDN settings don’t affect vanilla or custom trade scripts, these are generally governed by the stations own menu.Drakkir wrote: 2nd question is.. Pricing information, should I set it inside of the normal Station Menu, for NPC ships, etc to come buy it from me... Or should I go into the FDN Node menu where I can set a Cap, and put the pricing in there too? or does it even matter?
Remote access is like a lock which will stop FDN enabled docks and relays from removing wares. Some wares may be critical to your production streams and as such you may want to stop them being taken by Trade Posts, or stop access when the ware is below a set level.Drakkir wrote: 3rd question: I don't understand the "Remote" on/off toggle of the wares in nodes does, or how it works...
See the answer to question 2, same thing applies here, this is purely an FDN setting. There is an existing vanilla option which stops stations from trading with NPC's.Drakkir wrote: 4th question: Inside the Node menu, on each ware, I can toggle ON/OFF for Buying and Selling of Wares... BUT No matter what the toggle is, NPC ships still come to the Node and buy/sell items no matter what the settings are.
I think your edit there was the fix. I updated that as well as messing with a few other things and blammo, I can buy the stations and all that! However, I am still running into one last problem. This isn't a technical error so much as it is me not understanding the instructions on the first page.Logain Abler wrote:Have a read back through this post or my PM post, I sure someone had the same issue and it was down to a selection on the plugin manager.
Ensure you have Ware Manager & Config Manager installed before FDN and SSDN, I sure someone mentioned this.

Edit: I also always use the latest beta version of plugin manager
In the main menu you will see all the sectors that are reachable to the Node, selecting a sector will open a list of all the factories and complexes fot that sector (that's if it's a vanilla complex and not one of my Production Complexes).Rrail wrote: I have a large complex in a system that now contains a Node (and Advanced Satellite, of course). I do not understand, at all, how to get the Node to recognize the factory (or visa versa) so that the ships that are Home Based at the node will fly supplies on station to the factories in need. How is this accomplished? Or is there a guide to your script somewhere you could point me at?
Awesome man, thank you for the explanation. I am clearly a simpleton. I've got my node all up and running, and I built a Trade Post (which is turned on/enabled to sell Energy Cells), but I can't seem to get the Trade Post to "take" energy cells from the Node (which has 200,000) so that it can sell them. When I select "Move Ware", the Node List comes up blank. The Trade post is 4 jumps away. Any idea what is causing this? I think after this I will finally be able to stop asking questions and leave you alone!Logain Abler wrote:In the main menu you will see all the sectors that are reachable to the Node, selecting a sector will open a list of all the factories and complexes fot that sector (that's if it's a vanilla complex and not one of my Production Complexes).Rrail wrote: I have a large complex in a system that now contains a Node (and Advanced Satellite, of course).

Now simply enable FDN on the desired factory or complex, these two sections cover the integration and the other available settings:
Factory FDN interaction:
Factories will automatically select the closest FDN Node as its primary choice, however the player can also select which Node should be the factories primary Node. If the Node is no longer available (destroyed or turned off) the Factory will try and re-establish a link to the next closest Node. If the first choice Node cannot supply requested wares the Factory will query other Nodes within range and via INN.
Factory Settings:
Factories will work with default settings once FDN has been enabled on them, however there are additional settings viewed by selecting the appropriate menu options:
Show Full factory details will show the factories Production and FDN supply settings
If Complex – Show Full Complex details will show the full details of each factory which is part of the Complex
Show Advance Link options will show the Primary linked Node and allows the palyer to set their own from the available Node.
Factories and Local Ware Management:
The player can manage the wares held at a Factory and dictate at what volumes products & intermediate products will be released to FDN. Minimum levels can also be set against resources.

Again there could be a number of reasons, it would be hard to deduce from the details above.Rrail wrote: Awesome man, thank you for the explanation. I am clearly a simpleton.

The 'dark instalation' was in the 2.7 patch in preparation for entering the game in v3.Retiredman wrote:I retired your full mod and the large storage facility morphed into a dark installaion.
Are there other mods that have conflict with yours?
It was the last fake patch installed.
There are some files in the ""types" folder but nothing that list the Dark Installation.
Got an Advanced Sat in there ?Requiemfang wrote:I still haven't figured out how to set up the FDN setting on my complex for Ore and Silicon, I have the correct stations, the XL FDN station node is turned on yet the complex in the system isn't listing it in the FDN menu, like it shows in the pic for my post above. Again I'm using the previous version. Simply put I can't seem to turn FDN on for the complex so it can start giving the FDN node the silicon and ore.
