Trade Heatmap Embiggener

Mod works fine, you just have to force enable it since the mod author hasn't bothered to update the Avorion version number in the modinfo.lua

In Avorion main menu, goto Settings, Mods, then click on the mod name (it should be in RED because of the version mismatch), and click "Enable", it'll give you an error because of the version, but it will also give you a new button above Enable called: "Force (not recommended)". This will force the game to load the mod regardless of the version number.

When loading your saved game, select your game, but before clicking the Load button, click "Override Galaxy's Mods" in the top right to make sure it loads the new mod.

Users below have mentioned this mod has some conflicts with other mods, which may be true for any mod that affects the map, but barring any mod conflicts, this mod DOES work by itself.

any chance you can update this? :D

update?

The mod is extremely useful for mastering trading and finding the best prices! I ask you to update it to version 2.3 of the game, as this does not happen often, but the game crashes. I will be very grateful to you!

This mod now currently conflicts with something involving the M map. It seems to remove the ability for me to select ships on my list.

Thank you!
I might never have even tried an legendary trade system(did try exotic though) if you hadn't mentioned it.

@space_lettuce_OG did you ever install a high tier trading system. Try that, and then you'll see the heatmap if you hit M while in that ship.

Wait, so if this makes a heatmap "more useful", then that means there's a trading heatmap in vanilla?!!!
I looked at my galaxy map, and I see no way to enable this.
How do you enable this?!!

Made it work locally for myself, just changed the max Avorion version it required to be "2.*" (yay wildcards and inclusive maximum limits). Author, all you need to do is make the same change at the bottom of the modinfo.lua file, and It will work for this and any other two point anything version of the game. Hope this helps, love the mod!

It looks like the only thing that would need to change is the "max" version it checks from Avorion. Currently 2.2 is the max it is configured with, but it is simple to make it 2.2.2, or to be even more forward looking, and set it to 2.3 or 2.5 or some version in the future (or remove the "maximum" part of the version check, if that's possible)
