Oh, THIS... this is needed. Late-game I feel like trade ships can't properly serve my needs. Sorry to hear that it's hard to do that update, but when it's done... let's just say I wish this was base game. It's that good.

Take your time and no pressure, I'm aware it's not an issue that you've caused to begin with and I'm glad to hear that it's not something only I'm experiencing. Thank you for your work, this mod makes late-game playthroughs so much more fun.

Dissy, I'll probably make a 1.5 version eventually; it will be some time, though. I'm heavily invested into Project Zomboid at the moment. I'll get around to the update sometime later this year, likely in Q3, possibly in Q4.

The mod should still be perfectly functional in Rimworld 1.4; I haven't tested it in 1.5.

Jacques Ohff, I also encountered the genepack stacking issue. No promises about anything, but one day I might look into Rimworld's genepack stacking source code to see if there is something I could do to fix it. It is potentially doable.

I'm not having an error per-se, as much as I'm wondering if there's a fix for gene packs all filtering into a single stack after a certain point when buying? It seems to be an issue when there's more than a certain amount of gene packs for sale (around 10 I think?) and they all combine into one stack. This makes it impossible to actually buy gene packs from orbital traders and it often buys a random one from the stack, not the one on display in the shop. This seems to be a vanilla issue, however and not actually directly caused by this mod as much as the traders carrying that many gene packs seems to have been unintended.

This is a good mod could we get a 1.5 update?

@Daxturus
Thank you for answering.
It really weirded me out that the game took so long to load all of a sudden. Especially since all of the Performance and Check Mods are allready in my modlist.
That why I learned so fast what was the problem ( Dubs Loading Analizer .. or something )
I am taking a sabbatical from Rimworld as well, since I fracked my modlist so hard, that I had to abbandon 3 games because of fps-death and crashes.
Just when I had my modlist below 500 again

Sorry for the late reply, SpaceDorf. While the mod uses C# to change stock generator behavior, this mod also uses XML Extensions and a pretty complex patch to generate its config menu. Because of these patches, the load time of this mod is affected by the number of stock generators in the game; small and medium modpacks should not be affected by this mod very much. But for modpacks that already take 15 minutes to load... yikes. I do not recommend this mod for extremely large modpacks. Sorry about the tripled load times. I should write a disclaimer.

One day I might get around to rewriting the mod settings in C#, 1) to avoid the XML Extensions dependency, and 2) to hopefully optimize the mod, but I've lost interest in Rimworld for the moment.

If anyone else wants to optimize this mod, be my guest -- just please don't reupload the mod without making significant improvements to performance and/or the config menu, and remember to give credit on the mod page if you do reupload the mod!

Sadly I had to remove this mod from my list ..
it about tripled my starting time from 10-15 minutes to nearly 45 minutes.

How did it take THIS LONG for this to get made?

It was trying and failing to generate trader stock (stock generator error or something?) In various categories. But I'm pretty sure it's just that Rimworld gets really fucked up if you try to remove mods without basically reinstalling the entire game.

Let me know if you figure out the source of the errors -- especially if they are from this mod. My goal for WSOT is for it to be as compatible as reasonably possible with other mods.

Interesting. I was getting some errors on trying to reset my modpack to zero and trying to reactivate this mod, but I think whatever happened with it was the result of Hugslib/Rocketman caching throwing a ton of errors. I'll try again at some point.

I'm currently using it in my own modpack with a few modded traders, and it's working fine. Mods that alter the stocks that traders sell should also be compatible (and the effects of those mods will probably stack with this one).

Mods that change how traders actually generate items (e.g. bypassing or completely overwriting RimWorld's ThingSetMaker_TradeStock function) might not be compatible, but only a very small amount of trader mods actually do this. Basically >99% of mods that add or patch trader types simply add new traders, or change the trader's stock using a patch (both of which are innately compatible with this mod.)

can this be used with mods that change trader types etc?

Now it's on the traders to actually sell good stuff :)

Brilliant and thank you

Nice idea, thank you for this mod.
