Station assigned traders are not trading for the station

[Doc_Orange]

Hello.

I built a station for Silicon Wafers and everything is fine. I assigned miners - everything OK. I assigned traders (M - docking stations available) and assigned them to the station. In the information tab I see autotrade and silicon was selected automatically. I wanted to restrict the trade to my traders and choosed "Restricted trade with other fractions" and nothings happen. When I deselect this - my, but also other ships are comming to trade. Mostly the others will come to trade. Sometimes I have to reduce even the price manually to get response.

Is this correct?

Egosoft havent fixed the trading in game so you might as well do it manualy other it wount work.

Works fine for meat, energy cells, good etc.
Only thing I noticed was the small amount they trade of your goods but other than that mine trade fine

Not enough Information to compile...

Does your Station only produce one Product or is it something like this (sry dont know the real english names):

2x Engine Part Production + 1x Antimattercell Production + S Habitat + M Storage Container + M Storage Fluid + M Storage Solid
Needs: Energy Cell + Metalls + Medics + Hydrogen (easiest)

At least for me this doesn't really matter.
I'm producing Energy Cells, Water, Sunflowers, Wheat, Meat, Spices, Maja Snails, Soja Beans, Nostrop Oil, Food Rations, Medical Supplies and Soja Husk.
My 7 Traders are ONLY trading Energy Cells in small amounts. Nothing else.

they wont trade because the traders are mostly broken, and on station its all about percentages, how much is filled up, etc (pretty bad design, because it doesn't give you the tools to customize the supply - eg custom trades, custom miners, custom refunds:))) )

to fix this: reduce the price of your products by average-1, you get the average price on the encyclopedia. Then the traders will start selling your stuff at average price, yes that right +1, they dont even bother to look further, down the gates to sell it at a higher price ), but at least they sell.

Miners assigned to stations again, get bugged when you have two type of ore or more, because they will mine only one type and wait untill the station needs again.

Use these two mods to fix the station assignments - (after you assign a miner or a trader to a station, enter the behavior tab, and delete wares that you dont want to trade/mine)

Have fun fixing your game:)

Thank you gameplay programmers and epic designers! (if any are actually working at this company)

I think that fixing those problems should be N°1 priority for the devs.
It's extremely annoying not being able to run properply stations without having to micromanage supplies and sales.
And when you see the Mod fixes proposed in this thread, it doesn't seem to be a lot of work.
For sure those mods are not completely satisfaying but at least they are much better than it is now.

And yet in 1.5 patch it doesn't look like it's in the list, whereas there's a lot of stuff less urgent (to my opinion at least !)

So pleeeeaaasse ES fix this asap.
I love the game but that issue is making me regretting all the good ratings I've put on multiples sites, as now I have to spend all my time in the map to run things and I'm not "playing" any more...

Beware: Only use this if you like your autotraders to work.

It does go to stations you haven't found yet, and it will buy goods even if you can't afford it and put you in the negative. BUT I don't have a single transport moving 2 energy cells.
