Ships value

[Joubarbe]

Hi,

I'd like to forbid the player to sell his ships, but the only way I found to do that is to set the value of the ships to 0. But even with "Production rel. value" and "Price Modifiers" at 0, I still have a positive price for the ship.

Where does it come from ? How does the game know that, no matter what, a Centaur will worth at least 2.5 million credits ?

[BlackArchon]

Maybe components like cargo bay extensions, speed and steering upgrades and other built-in components add up to this?

[Joubarbe]

Nope, that's the Centaur, from LU, and it has no built-in components.

There are two entries for the cost of a ware in Tships: NPC and Player

This means two fields for Price Modifier and two fields for Production Rel. Value, thus four field edits total.

Did you edit both the NPC and Player fields for PM and PRV?

[Joubarbe]

Yep, all at 0. You can try

EDIT : even though the question remains interesting, I found a way to make it work. My shipyards are now classic factories !

Would you mind to tell us how you did ? Thx.

[Joubarbe]

Oh sure, you just edit the TFactories.pck with XEditor, then change the "Subtype" to anything but "SG_FACT_SHIP".

Sorry to resurrect but . . . .

say I want to produce ships from my HQ to sell for profit. As it stands in my version of Litcubes universe I'm losing 20 million or so profit on the sale of a Kvasir (for example) if I count the production cost in credits for each component needed at the HQ to build the ship. I've tried editing the rel. value (player) and (npc) and both price modifiers. but haven't figured out how to increase the sale price or decrease the production cost (in terms of raw materials).

Any help is much appreciated.

[Joubarbe]

If I'm not mistaken, HQ production costs are hardcoded.

[ubuntufreakdragon]

I don't know whether Litcubes universe changes this but in vanilla the types\HQ.xml contains the price to resource multipliers, they can be changed freely.
Oh and please crate new topics instead of creating undead things.

Then I'm mistaken
