@Hau-Drauf-Klaus
After further looking into it, I think its not your mod that is the issue. There is another trader calling mod I apparently have that I think is doing it. Sorry

@nonya0992
It should already be a normal instant task toncall for trade ships.
So it seems somthing is wrong with your setup/game installation to me. Maybe try reinstalling the mod/game.

Not sure if your mod is broke or if its a conflict, but when I tell a pawn to call a trader, the action is queued instead of setting to the current task. Then after they complete the current task, the queued task of calling a ship disappeared and they do not call a ship. Could you make it so that the action of calling a ship sets to the current task?

Permits are the things you get in royalty. Like summon a shuttle or an orbital strike. I'll have a look at your mod to see if it can be added easily.

@Seanbeag
Whats a permit? I don't actively play Rimworld anymore, just occasionally keeping the mod up to date :D

Feel free to fork the mod on github to use it as base for yours or create a pull request with your idea for a change and I can review it and maybe introduce it in this mod if I like it :)

I was looking at making a mod that allows you to buy one use of a permit using the comms console. Do you think this mod could be used as a base for that? Could you change the incident called from a trade ship to a permit use?

@Wecardo!?
Nothing ... I had a weird issue with my dev setup for rimworld I use once once a year if a new rimworld version drops :D

Mod is updated to 1.6 and even got a new feature I apparently implemented around christmas last year and forgot to publish ... fingers crossed that one works :D

The mod seems to work fine on 1.6, what interface changed?

@Bronips on first glance it seems an Interface I used changed in 1.6 so I need to take a deeper look.

Not sure when I will get around to do that.

1.6?

Thanks for wasting my silver the trader didnt even come

I absolutely love this one. Easy to integrate and a lot of configuration options.

@separat.mn my mod does not affect any content nor details of spawning ships.
It just triggers the event which spawns ships in the same way the basegame does by random chance.

So it should not be the cause for the described behavior.

If you can provide me a description to reproduce your issue I'd be happy to take a look though.

Why does every ship summoned with this mod have no details or silver?

Thanks for the kind words :)

I'm happy you like it!

Well done Hau-Drauf-Klaus!! This mod is just what I have been looking for. It is a clean, well-written mod with excellent mod options. It's targeted C# code should minimise the potential for incompatibilities. It is great for all players but ideal for the late-game player. For late-late-game players, it works really well in combination with Coldcrow's Better Orbital Traders mod.

My mod does not cause ships to land or anything. It just triggers the event on click instead of triggering it by random chance as the basegame does.

So your issue is most probanly with the trader ships mod or something else but should not be caused by my mod.

When a trader ship lands i send a pawn to trade but all they do is touch the ship and just walk off, no UI or menu pops up or nothing. Any help?

70% of the times i called a trader, it just took my silver and they never showed up

@Hau-Drauf-Klaus

I've confirmed the fixes in the latest version.
Thanks!

@SpacerGorisan - thanks for the report.

I can confirm your findings (thanks for the reproduction description) and fixed the issue (hacky 'caching' in my code) with the latest release of the mod.

Feel free to confirm the fix works for you as well.

Thanks!

Defect Report.
With this mod and “Dubs Performance Analyzer” installed,
When I open the options window of “Dubs Performance Analyzer” -> Update -> Harmony Patches, it crashes for sure.

I reproduced it with this mod list ↓.
=========================
Harmony
Core
Call A Trader
Dubs Performance Analyzer
=========================

@saintbeutal none that I'm aware of ... I did not know that mod until mow though.

Feel free to try it out :)

just curious are there any known reports/issues with this mod

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2296557502

works differently but also adjust tradeships rng

I can take a look and see if that's easy todo, sounds like a reasonable change (at least to have an option to configure it is a good idea) :) ...
Cannot give any hint's on when I'll be trying it out though.

yes, if its not bothering you

@W you mean a change that the event only fires if there is a coms console available and working on the map?

can you make a patch for this ?

I don't know why but this mod disappeared all the options to control/load the ships in the game, like the cargo pods.

After a series of settings, this mod runs well and can successfully summon spaceships

thanks for rich colony ♥

@CirgCrag I messed around a little with Dub's Performace Analyser and had no issues in my test setup to see the harmony patches Call A Trader executes and they looked normal. No crashes whatsoever.

@The Village Guy I cannot reproduce your issue either. Everything works fine with 1.5 for me. I however updated the assembly build in the mod on steam because the previous one was build with one of the pre-releases of 1.5. Maybe that fixes it for you - but idk and idts.

It's not actually working with 1.5 for me, although it accepts call orders, when executing them the colonists change their mind and go do something else

this mod is incompatible with Dub's Performance Analyzer, more specifically it causes the game to crash when attempting for view harmony patches

It'll take some time for the Trader Ship to arrive.

And it is also possible that, if some other event triggers an effect that prohibits orbital ships from arriving while the ship travels, it will not be able to arrive at all.

Then you are out of luck and need to call them again later.

If you dont wont that roleplay part (the cost, the delay, the lockout period) you can set all of them to 0 in the options.

Regards

Ok. I tried this again. This time the notification asked me what kind of Trader do I want. Then... nothing happened :/

I think that was the problem. I didn't had the silver. This was weird because the game just directly told me I need 600, but it only did that AFTER I called the ship. So I was locked out for 25 days.

@PET
You need to have a working orbital traders beacon set up with enough silver in its range.
Then the grayed out payment options will work.

This is a requirement to than trade with an orbital trader anyway.

How is this thing working exactly? I called for them and I got a message that it will cost me some silver. How do I pay??

Hey @mefalemoncola,

I see what you're getting at there.

But the royal trader is a special mechanic as a trader which is intentionally restricted by the game.

Changing that is not the scope of this mod so I won't add this as a feature here.

One could however implement another mod making the royal trader just a normal trader type. Then it should be automatically compatible with call a traders feature set. Maybe there is already a mod out there doing that and you can find and use it.

Regards

Hi, could you please add the option to call a Royal Tribute Collector? I love the Empire and I want to contribute to it more frequently than twice a year, unshattering it one slave at a time.

Ahh I see , neat catch. I'll take a look and see if I can recreate and fix the issue.

Thanks for checking!

Found it, it's Vanilla Events Expanded

Same thing, I've try using only this mod and nothing else and it worked fine. Most likely a mod conflict. I'll try and find which one.

@x3nit you should remove and reinstall the mod maybe. Seems something is missing in your installation for some reason.

@Grushnak happy to hear it :) what was the issue?

@Hau-Drauf-Klaus All good I figured it out! It's working as intended! Ty for reply!

I get this error personally everytime i make a call.

Failed to find RimWorld.IncidentDef named acat_OrbitalTraderVisitingOffer. There are 182 defs of this type loaded.

IM paying the ship request and nothign happens please fix.

@Alt @Grushnak

Without further details on your setup and maybe logs showing any errors or such I sadly cannot so much to help you.

Are you all using Anomalie? (I dont own that Extension to test with) Could some ongoing effect of it block tradeship arrivals maybe?

Sorry I cannot help more here :(

I'm also having the issue where I'm paying the ship requests and I'm getting nothing. Happened a few times in a row.
