station manager ignoring my Xenon gate

Post by Midnightknight »

Hello,

I'm using the gate hub to unload Silicon and Ore from my various miners, i do this cause it can stores a lot more than an expensive EQ Dock and all was working fine, at least the unloading.
The issue is that i have a complex always short in Silicon, with a station manager on it and 2 mules, but it will stubbornly never buy any silicon to my hub, no matter what. Silicons are set as products on the Hub, i have set the hub as supply station to the complex. I first restrained trade to only my ships, but as it was now full and nobody wanting to buy Silicon even if it's a rare ressource in this part of the universe, i set it to anyone now.

My mules do absolutely everything except buy the my Hub. My Xenon Hub is between Patriarch's keep and two grand, the complex in PTNI gamma, i had it set to buy at 4 sectors, nothing worked, put it to 5, no more luck, the hub is simply perfectly ignored.

Station manager is supposedly getting some love in 1.2, whenever that comes out. I feel your pain. I have a complex with silicon and ore as needs, and produces lasertowers, all shields, most weapons, etc, and I often see my 8 armored transports sitting in the station on "none" command, even with full wares to sell. I finally broke down and let other races trade, and set automatically adjust prices, so NPCs at least let me profit, and periodically my stupid AT will venture out for ore or wafers. I cant wait for the update.

I know they will give station manager some love, but i feel this is really related to the xenon hub cause i have an EQ dock that does exactly the same without issue.

So if they are checking SM bugs, well i wanted to report this one. I don't know what is the issue, if they do not calculate correctly the distance, but now that i have allowed other races to buy, i see the silicon stocks go down a little but. But it's still not my complex buying it, even with the Hub gate set as supply.
