How is the update to 8.0 coming along? I'd love to test this out, but unfortunately i've already gone off to the betas

Should be compatible with AI Economy Buff.

As a rule of thumb, if the other mod is only modifying the universe generation to help the economy, it is very very likely this mod will work with the other mod with no problems.

Is it also compatible with AI Economy Buff 7.0 Re-mastered?

No conflicts! Both sides are modifying different files.

More specifically, deadair_eco only changes the ware price/volume, and has nothing to do with how traders work.

Does this mod conflict with deadair_eco?

I have heard that the 8.0 update contains changes on some of the trading scripts, but we will wait and see.

Numbers were adjusted to hopefully reduce lag spikes.

Most notably, the hidden timer to wait for the Thinking Cap has been increased.

Well you can check my modifications (do a quick diff) https://pastebin.com/jGJVe9kA

itt's just to see iif i see a difference and be on the safe side for now, i'm playing lots of battle in slideshow mode otherwise

Yes, your analysis is correct, but I believe most NPC traders are not station traders running the "trade.find.commander" script. (Some NPC traders are station traders as discovered from my quick testing, but should not be too much.)

Then, the main source of station traders would probably be from the player.

But still I think I will adjust the timings later to spread out the calculation a bit.

when you reduce the time between trades + add randomly some trade range even on S ships it can take it's toll if the map is expanded and you have thousands of small traders per faction, i saw a noticeable difference.

But i will investigate more i think another mod is the problem, for now i edited your mod a bit to do a middle ground solution and if i find another way to gain back performance i'll re-sub the mod as is

This mod does make more trade calculations, but hopefully the impact is limited due to having only 1 trader thinking at a time per station.

Not quite sure yet but i think this has tanked a lot my reemergence game performance
Gonna try to run without it for a while

Amesome. TY.

This mod is compatible with Dead Tater because this mod only modifies the vanilla trading script.

@g0jira

Perfectly save compatible!

Compatible with Dead Tater?

i will give it a try, just quick question i case, is it save to remove in the middle of the game?

While the goal is indeed to have properly functioning trade stations (and therefore indirectly deprecate the custom trade scripts), I think we just aren't there yet. There are still things that can be done.

I just wanna say that it's nice to have a properly functioning Trade Station. Thank you for this mod!

Note to visitors: this mod will gradually absorb other similar mods by myself to unify them. I will tell you about it when that happens.
