TaterTrader

TaterTrader is a WIP auto-trader script, with the sole purpose of making profit while attempting to avoid being cheaty.

Currently The script is heavily experimental and in its prototype stages.

I will hopefully be adding more features and optimizations as time goes on.

ForumPost: Forum Link

• []Attempts to find the best profit based on the configurations of the order given.

  []A bunch of settings you change to tweak how and where it trades.

  []Only trades with trade offers known to the player.

  []Uses the games own built in trade orders to conduct its trades.

  []When the Traders home is set to a station, the station becomes the traders commander.

  []Traders use their commanders money if they have one.

  []The Traders follow faction trade restrictions, unless told otherwise.

  []There's ware list presets you can copy within the configuration options.

  Configuration Options:

  • []You can define a home sector or station.

    []Can set the trader to always return "Home" before attempting to seek another trade.

    []You can configure which wares the trader attempts to find trade deals for.

    []The maximum distance from home the trader can buy or sell at.

    []Change the Price the Traders perceive wares are set at your own stations. (Doesn't actually affect the cost)

    []You can set the Traders to bypass faction trade restrictions.

    []You can exclude searching for trade deals in selected sectors.

    Known Bugs:

    • []The Trader Becomes highly unstable when homebound is toggled and the home is set to a sector. Either don't use homebound set to a sector, or set the home to station you own. (I'm attempting to fix this but Its taking longer then expected.)

      []Broken Black-market Dealers can cause the trader to have issues actually trading, This is a problem with the base game so You'll have to blacklist sectors with the broken dealers until a fix is found.

      []Sometimes The script has a malfunction when updating and queues multiple (or infinite) deals at once, causing major lag when viewing the map. You can fix this by just removing all orders on the affected ship. Ill be rolling out a proper fix for this in v5.
