The connector issue is something I had struggled with for a while too.
What you need to do is before connecting to the station switch your connector to Trade mode. It's something you can pin to your bar.

Love this one in particular, delivering actual cargo. Excellent.
Having two odd bugs though.
Trade stations are somehow hacking my connector when connected and whenever I deliver a physical cargo box it says 'contract failed'. I still get the payout but no reputation reward. No negative rep either, just nothing.

I can't access any of TRADE's contract kiosk. I don't know what's causing it.

I noticed adding a new npc to the TRADE faction and changing the grid ownership from The Board to then fixed the hostile issue (Ps: I'm neutral towards TRADE, the relations are set to 0), I've tried a new save without AiE and it worked just fine

I noticed the same issue as Launch_pad, for some reason the ships and instalations are spawning without faction, i dont know if this is a conflict with AIEnabled since its the only different mod i added in this playtrough

wandering merchant wont trade with me. says not owned by faction when i try. comes up hostile in color (redish). when using the reset command from above it gives message = true but i still cannot trade. :(

upd: I can only make successful repairs if I turn on creative mode.

It seems that trade stations don't do repairs. They take money and do nothing. Does someone have the same problem?

I assume the SPRT Brawlin- Bandit Ships are from this mod, right? Every now and then, the trade station that I live close to in my creative world, is receiving shipments, it gets attacked.
These SPRT Ships however fall out of the sky after engaging the Zedious II Transport, even though they have hydrogen. What is going on there?
I've disabled shooting, yet the still land on the ground and lock their landing gear.

Tried with success the above listed fix for trade faction starting out as hostile.

As of the new Contact update, the trade faction's first spawn is coming in as an enemy faction. I guess that's not too surprising until the mod gets updated. Will try the listed fix above that was crossed out to see if this fixes the issue.

would there be any way to turn on the contracts blocks

not work

"Meridius_IX has retired from modding" does that mean that the planned stuff will never be done?

The suit upgrade does not work after the global update.

One option i am looking for is to be able to buy for credits any tech/research blueprint from the research tree, so that those could be largely disabled by default and then by selling stuff one gets credits and would bit by bit enable the research tree through trade, selling scrap grids or mined ressources and such.

I know the mod description says that the contracts blocks are disabled, but the store's are completely empty on stations for me. Wandering traders are fine, but did something break with stations? I am running basically just base MES stuff and some graphical mods so that shouldn't be the problem.

hey i can't sell/repair/change ownership of any ships through the trade station. it doesn't give any ships in the area a value

@FunkWolfie Thank you

@[AiR] Le0_gAiR its a known issue between hostile takeover and this mod dont listen to FartyParty
@JohnJ44 same thing

Why sabotage his own stations?

Le0_gAiR, that was Meridius' joke to the community--he sabotaged his own stations before signing off--surprise!

i think i found a bug... when connected via connector, the trade station hijacks my connector...

hi, how can i add/set research point to inventory? have command or add item id....?

So, looking at the Discussion Threads... is GTXGaming as a host still breaking this mod? Or is it working as intended with that host?

add mid save?

I understand Meridus status but am wondering if there is a place within the mod that lists what each point in the suit upgrades does? As in, is lvl1 damage reduction = 10%, 20%? Do you need more than one lvl of the inhibitor immunity?

The station should sell all items if their price is not zero

Do the Trade Stations also trade in Modded Items? For Example - The Brewing in Space Beer and Wine Cases or would this break the Economy?

this mod has conflict with Aaw(agaris at war)

@hethan757 - The unique trade functionality added by this mod does not work on consoles.

I will obviously give you full credit and a link back to this

Can I upload this on Mod io for console servers?
If not could you do it?

There is only ice in the ships, no components just ice

Is this meant to disable all contract blocks, or just the stations added by the mod? (I do want to still be able to do the base contracts.)

Any chance this mod would give us a way to sell spare components and resources? I mostly play as a space pirate and have a crazy excess of resources sitting around with no purpose.

@xXShadowNinjaXx
I revisited the code and found a working solution. I just made a small test but it looks really good !!!

Set item min price to zero with

<MinimalPricePerUnit>0</MinimalPricePerUnit>

I hope it works for you too!

@xXShadowNinjaXx
I ran into the same issue.... got about 300 components I do not want to sell.
I try to figure it out where the problem is. It could be at
TOC-StoreItems-Basic.xml
TOC-StoreItems-Enhanced.xml
TOC-StoreItems-Merchant.xml

because it choose random components.
It could be possible to set all components by hand but you have to edit the xml. Without a reup it is not possible...

So better late than never I guess lol. and I set "CanPlayerOrder" to false for all the modded components, and the vanilla stations that work fine, but these modded ones are still forcing them into the trades.

Is there a way I can make this mod not force-sell modded components and ammo? I didn't know this mod was doing that until it was too late, and now the balance of my server is destroyed.

@Killboy_Kavo same here

when trying to repair my vehicles in the trade station it takes my credits and doesnt even repair my vehicles am i the only one having this problem or not?

Is there a Wiki or something like this for: How to handle this mod? :)

I have an issue - I parked my ship with serval unfinished modded blocks (nanite controll facility, upgrade cubes etc.) inside the safe zone of a station. I go and select grid repair and it shows me a total cost of zero credits and no blocks are getting fixed.

Couple of folks on our server mentioned that these upgrades do not persist through death. Not seeing anything on the mod page there that calls that out specifically... is that actually the case?

I read that the contract blocks are not activated because of keen. Can this be fixed by a command? I just found a trade station with a contract block but it says access denied (my rep is 0) . Store blocks work just fine. Station name: Trade GSX Chrono Station

any way to cheat in research points for testing?

When I connect to the station connector, (in trade mode), my ships connector becomes owned by "the board". Is this expected?

Yesterday MES was broken because of the game update, but everything is working now assuming you’ve received all the proper game/mod updates
