Setting up trade objectives to a construction vessel

[Clownmug]

I'm currently trying to make a md script which creates generic missions for building a station. Everything is working fine except the spawned construction vessel has 2 copies of all its buy offers. This seems to be because the md.RML_Deliver_Wares script re-creates trade offers rather than tracking the original ones.

Is there another way to setup trade objectives that I don't know about? I've tried using md.RML_Accept_Trade_Orders but that script doesn't always keep track of the objectives and the mission fails after completing all the trades. I've also tried removing the original buy offers but it seems like the construction vessel automatically generates them again.

Would it work if you did the ware deliveries before the build order is given? I may be stating the obvious here but that would be my solution.

if the script you are referencing doesnt have this functionality why not add it there? that would be my approach ^^

That might work but I'd need a way to determine the required build resources from the build plan.

I guees that would be a last resort but the script seems very complicated.

Try looking in LIB_Generic... There is a script in there that is called by the campaign scripts that tell the Devres stations to start building. It does some calculations with the build plan resource costs though most of that is part of a commented out cheat function.

Its what I played with to get my stations in Hiigara Crossroads to build. Though I think it needs some work as it tends to stall out. Still a good reference if you just want examples though.

Yes, I'm already using the Build_NPC_Station library from there, I actually modified it to use with this mission. The section for cheat resources uses the neededslotresources property but that only works after the module starts construction I believe.

I'm not sure what the total mass for all station's Stage 1 components come too but there's a change that a CV (260 k m3) might not carry them all without a tweak.

Total masses I have measured in the past:

HoA Cell Recharge Fac
Stage 1: 258 k m3
All stages: 306 k m3

Albion Construction Shop
Stage 1: 105 k m3
All stages: 673 k m3

Albion High Tech Fab
Stage 1: 88 k m3
All stages: 326 k m3

Although maybe all stage 1 station volumes and XL ship storage volumes have been balanced around each other
