1.32 Station Traders

[HelsBane]

Since the new patch which allows NPC's to creates ships I have been able to start production of some new wares that they need to make the ships. So I went around and checked all the other factions ship yards and such and found that they are all lacking in Engine Parts, some have less than 100. So I built a factory in Argon Prime and began to make them and set trader to work for the station (all have 4+ stars and were not captured ships) and yet as my factory became more and more full they refused to sell engine parts. Finally I set a trader on auto trade, not for the station, and had his only ware set as Engine Parts, buy radius of 0 and sell of 30, and he would only sell to the Argon Shipyard, not the Wharf, and only once in awhile at that, instead 75% of the time it's sitting there doing nothing except waiting for the Ship yard to be out of Engine Parts again. The sell price on my factory is set to auto, which is roughly 650c and the average buy price from most of the other stations due to them being out is 719c (I think, its above 700c) so the market is there but the traders wont go there to sell and locking my traders to only selling to a single station when there are many more that would buy them.

Is everyone else having the same problem, or are your traders actually selling across the whole galaxy? If it is completely working for you what are you doing differently? Ive tried every way of getting them to trade the one good that is in serious deficit everywhere and they refuse to sell it.

Yes the problems are exactly what you are experiencing. Trade is extremely inconsistent and buggy. It is outright non-functional in specific circumstances like the one you're describing. I'm having the exact same type of issues as are many others.

I am seeing the same.

I had one trader deliver 10 runs of engines part to the HOP warf becuase it ws lacking 1600 engine parts and I had a ship build order placed.

It did the ten runs (which took forever) and at the end there were still 8 ships in the queue + mine which wasn't being build and there were, again 1600 engine part missing.

It's still broken.

The only ship yard that can outfit my ships is argon. All others are broken and needing either hull parts or engine parts.

Same issue. Probably the reason multiple wharfs and shipyards are out of engine parts in my game.
