X Rebirth version: 4.00
Cancel Construction Order v0.01 May 22 2016
================================
At the moment you can Cancel construction order for the very first stage of your station which causes the building station to be destroyed

However you can't Cancel construction order when the station has become operational (very first part built).

If you have started to extend a station with the hope that you will get hold hold of the wares (Reinforced metal plating etc) and then found that you need to add drones to make some money from the station then it would have been time for a save game.

It should also allow you to change your mind on which extension to build if you were still waiting for all the building wares

It might also allow you to cancel a stuck extension

Please be aware that this is a beta release and that you should back up your save games before using it. Save games zip up very efficiently to about 7% of the original size if they have not already been gzipped.

Installation and Compatibility with other mods
==============================================
To install it extract and copy the "cancel_construction_order" folder to the "Steam\steamapps\common\X Rebirth\extensions" folder (create the extensions folder if you don't have it already) or subscribe to it from Steam and restart the game.

This mod interacts with the player via a modified Architect menu.

This mod patches Egosoft's NPC_Architect.xml

X Rebirth will save some of the variables and the state of the Station Production cues as part of a normal save game. If you decide not to use this mod any more just remove the "cancel_construction_order" folder or unsubscribe it from Steam and restart the game.

=== How to Use ===
Comm the Architect
Select Cancel construction order

The Cancel Construction Order mod :-
-----------------------------------
Provides the Cancel construction order option at the top level of the Architect's menu even if the station is operational
Removes the obstruction check and the Blocked area and return the Architects state to waiting for work
Destroys all components of the partially built station extension
Should be multi-lingual as it uses the same labels as Egosoft's option for non operational stations and those are translated

=== Known issues ===
Wares that had already been consumed will not be returned but anything that was already in the CV should remain there so that you can restart the extension later
This requires an existing CV to be connected to the station as it plugs into the Architect dialog

=== ToDo ===

=== Diagnosing issues ===

These instructions are for Windows 7 64 bit, please adjust for other versions

Start X Rebirth in debug logging mode by adding "-debug all -logfile debug.log" to the end of the command line

In my case this would look like

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X Rebirth\XRebirth.exe" -debug all -logfile debug.log

That will create a debug.log file at the same level as your save game folder
