Buy from a Specified factory script.

[Tudders]

I want to be able to tell my ships to buy from a SPECIFIC factory of my own to ensure my transports don't buy from one factory only when theirs two in that sector.

For example, in Ore Belt i have two silicon mines to provide silicon for two crystal fabs but as one of the silicon mines is closer to thenorth gate they only ever buy from that mine, even if it is empty and the other is full.

look on the external scripting sites for raskor's buy ware replacement script.
that's what you want.

the problem is with the "find station: product" command. First off, it seems to disregard the amount parameter, so even if your factory is empty, it'll still return it if it has the lowest price around. Second, it'll only return one result, no matter how many times you call it. I'm pretty sure it just gives up as soon as it finds one, even if it wasn't the best.

you could always just bump up the price on the empty mine a few credits, and leave the price on the full one lower. but i agree, a replactment would be a better solution (and less bothersome).
