[Snippet] Station money transfer

[graphicboy]

This is a trimmed back, modified aiscript from the only other station money transfer mod I could find. After removing the noise and getting it working, I figured it might be beneficial to the community.

Every 10 minutes:

• If you have money in the build budget, but nothing to build, the money is transferred to your main station account.

• If the station has 1,000,000 more than you last set its budget to, it'll transfer the difference to you.

Scripts can't use "min budget" because it triggers the "give money" job, and the "max budget" is twice what you typed in. I don't know what station those numbers sense for, but it doesn't for any of mine.

Enjoy.

Thank you for this! I feel like station profits should get paid out to the player in the base game...

Thank you.

I was thinking if it will make sense that the station (if it had surplus above budget) should fund its building cost.

What I mean >

Dear station manager, if there is something to build at this station and building funds are not enough and you have extra money, use it to build your own darn thing and don`t bother me

They do, in a very similar manner to this. If they go well over the last budget you set, they call you and if you dismiss it, you get the money.

It just doesn't actually tell you that's what's happening, nor is it documented, and they shoudn't really need to call you about it.

(`language` ping) Hi. Was having an issue getting constant deposits despite my snippet above. Removed RandomTrader and the problem seems to be going away?

I have no explanation to this. Random trader accesses only buy/sell offers.
The only money it touches is while checking if the commander/player has enough to buy wares while buying from non player station.

Thanks for the reply. Didn't make sense to me either, so must be a false positive, or something else got into an odd state.
