- Permissions and credits
Do not charge for trades between player ships and stations, and vica versa.This should be very helpful when you have two or more stations.
Are your Solar arrays and Foodstuffs gaining credits and everything else loosing them ? Having to constantly shunt funds about ? Why not try this mod to fix that
In my experience of X Rebirth it can be really difficult to get your stations producing wares and smoothly running. Getting a multi station setup to go smoothly is even harder. That is why I wrote Station Push wares to actively push wares to other player owned stations.
The pump priming phase where you need to get enough wares into stock to get production started needs a lot of player intervention. The way that stock and price work means that your stations are unlikely to sell anything until they produce enough to fill the station with 50% of that product (their prices will be too high). If you can get to 50% stock of the product then things go OK until an NPC ship comes along and cleans you out and puts you back to stage one.
Having free player to player trades will allow your second station to fill up on resources from your first station without going bankrupt and without waiting to sell anything.
Things that you should be aware of when watching manager account balances
If you allow your stations to trade with other factions then your station manager balance should increase.
A player to non player trade may trigger a transfer to the players account if the manager account has a higher than recommended balance. This will actually reduce the manager balance (as it transfers excess money to the player) and is working as Egosoft designed.
Installation and Compatibility with other mods
To install it extract and copy the "free_player_to_player_trades" folder to the "Steam\steamapps\common\X Rebirth\extensions" folder (create the extensions folder if you don't have it already) and restart the game.
This mod patches Egosoft's trade.performtraderun.xml
If you decide not to use this mod any more disable it or just remove the "free_player_to_player_trades" folder and restart the game.
Does not affect save games
How to Use
Just install the mod, there is no user interface
Diagnosing issues
These instructions are for Windows 7 64 bit, please adjust for other versions
To enable full debuging of trade transactions install the optional trade_performtraderun_debug mini mod from Nexus
trade_performtraderun_debug
Its also visible as an Optional file under Free Player to Player Trades Files
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
