[BUG] Many if not most Trader's Corners on Boron stations are missing Sellers
I've just been to 5 different Boron stations and only one had a person working at the Trader's Corner. This has got to be a bug / oversight. While I don't entirely understand why the stations are all so empty, at least the seller stations need to be populated.

I experienced this and I think it's because the entire sector starts out with no water, and hence no population. I think that the sellers are pretty much the first positions filled (and stay filled once they are filled), but when I first went into the Sector and flew around it was the same way.
Note that there is a known bug with their Wharf and eventual Shipyard creating buy orders incorrectly, so for some stations you may need to sell the water randomly. If you just Repeat Sell In sector commands your traders will sell to all the construction projects buying up water for top rates. (I think that's why this is so notable, since Borons are the only faction that shares a worker and construction need like this it causes a problem when connecting their sectors starts a rush of new construction. The water doesn't actually make it to the workforce.)

Usually this is just something that take minute to fix itself. Previous reports were resolved after a bit, as it just took the Traders to load in a bit longer. Can you please check if this is the case for you too? If not please provide a save where the issue is present.

OK so still a bug. And it isn't "a minute" sometimes it is 15 min or more. It is the accumulation of these many little bugs that would go a long way to improve the player experience. Over and over the ES reply to bugs that prevent forward momentum in gameplay is, it resolves itself if you just waste some time. Players wanna play, there is plenty in the game that we're waiting for as part of normal gameplay. Bugs like this aren't normal gameplay. There is zero rational reason to not code Trader's Corner to always have someone there. Please fix.
