4.00 HF3 (434806) Repeat order buying stopped working

Post by Buzz2005 » Sun, 18. Apr 21, 15:25

Hi Ego,

Ship A3. Boa (OQV-005) refuses to execute repeat buy order, try to setup to buy Computronic Subtrate from PIO Spacelab (FBN-031) in Segaris with max cargo and price.
It just does nothing, he should move on to buy that stuff, A0, A1, A2 Boas have same repeat order with no problems.

Without looking at the savegame right now, I'd say there's a reasonable likelihood that this is the same issue reported elsewhere, which we've fixed for a forthcoming update. If so then the workaround for now is to increase the price threshold a bit, because the ship simply isn't taking into account faction discounts when looking for offers.

the price is set to max, the thing is other ships can execute the very same order np

I have had the same problem. The solution is "Follow the money". For me the repeat order works fine for a Boa selling TER food but not for Silicon Wafer and the culprit is..... I have to have at least 10 million in the station that the ship sells to. May be there is an error in the calculation of the price, because a full load of The Boa of Silicon Wafer is not 10 millions.
Also, it is not consistent that everywhere in the game, buying and selling to your own station does not involve money, but this Repeat Order does. Maybe a flag or an implicit decision by the AI, that if the buyer is a player-owned station the money should not change hand.

It was buying from NPC trade station to my build storage, build storage has full money and my global account has enough too, so money is not the issue, again, same order works on every other ship

I guess you did not read my post carefully (Hint the sentence with million credits reference, )

Buy order is the problem so only my global account mattered here, so this bug is nothing to do with your post anyway, no station account involved in 1 buy order.

OK, let's do this test:

(1) Get a ship with nothing in the hold. (optional)
(2) Say your build order requires 1M. Put in 10M in your build fund,
(3) and 10M in your running balance,
(4) Run the Repeat Order.

and see the Repeat Order works.

I believe there is an error in the calculation of the money that is required on the sell order. I am just too lazy to test to see whether it is in your running fund, or in the buying station/build store. (BTW, I have stopped playing until this is fixed, and that's why I have time to post it here :-) )
