About this mod

Adds 20-30% more traders to each faction. See a stronger universe, more flexible factions, and better gameplay balance with a Vanilla game feel.

Permissions and credits
Introduction:
Ever see a faction with a bare shipyard needing wares, then look one sector over and a station has that needed ware but it is not being delivered? Or do you sometimes notice the AI factions do not mine enough to fill  their 100+ factories orders? Well if you answered yes to any of that or simply want a mod to help make the universe look more full then this is for you!

Description:
As the game has expanded and more factions and sectors have been added, the Devs have not added in more trader jobs only more warship jobs. So the game can feel slightly more empty than a vanilla game with no DLC, this mod fixes that. Factions will now have 20-30% more traders and miners, this reduces some of the problems the factions face early in the game while also helping some factions recover faster from crisis, war, and help them expand. The mod also helps the economy but still leaves room for the player to make money by being balanced. Hence, a moderate yet noticeable increase of 20% for traders and 30% for faction miner ships to keep the economy moving while making the universe look more active with a purpose.
Xenon are not included, with 107 base mining ships in their streamlined economy they have enough traders. More xenon miners effects xenon ship build speed and numbers overall which this mod is not intended to effect. See my other mod if you want more Xenon pressure in your game or this mod.
Note: Segaris Pioneers have as many ship traders as the Terrans by default, or any other faction, despite having only three isolated sectors. Most of their job additions were for miners instead, so you do not get more idol ships in your universe and everything runs smoothly performance wise.

Mod info:
- Save game compatible, you will see more ships being built over time.
- Balanced for use in vanilla games and in mods that add more ships to the universe.
- Works great with dead Airs faction war mods, and is compatible with FOWC if you have it. Not compatible with mods that change vanilla job numbers directly.
- DLC races are included but you do not need the DLC'S to play this mod. 
- This mod is compatible with current save games. 4.x or higher. Will update the mod when Tides of Avarice comes out also.
- Install at X4 root directory where ever it is installed, place unpacked mod in the extensions folder. If one is not present simply make one. See screenshot.
- Uninstall at any time.
- Mod screenshot with the faction data is here: https://steamcommuni.../?id=2503857262 It's really good.

Enjoy!
