My McCallum dock has no "install MLCC" command in console. What's that?

Ok that makes sense, I just need to figure out how to use MLCC console.

Sorry, a basic dock agent query.....

* I have one Sanctuary.
* I have one Scruffin Farm.
* I have one TS.
* I have two DA jobs:-
1. Acquire Scruffin Fruits # Ware 1,000,000 / Stock 20,196 Cargo Load Max Wait Cargo No, On-Job 1/1, Prio 1, Pause No, Timeout 0
2. Distribute Energy Cells # Ware 0 / Stock 70,794 Cargo Load Max Wait Cargo No, On-Job 0/1, Prio 1, Pause No, Timeout 0
* I've not touched DA Thresholds for Import / Export, both are set to 1,200,000 for Scruffin Fruits
* My sole DA TS has stopped, and no longer ships e-cells to the Scruffin Fruit factory, or brings Scruffin Fruits back. It has worked flawlessly up until now.

My guess is that there's a Sanctuary based 20k threshold for Scruffin Fruits somewhere (hence the 20,196 figure being red), but I can't find it. Even if this is the case why isn't the DA continuing to ship e-cells to the Scruffin Fruit factory (which has now run out)?

Any pointers gratefully received :).

There is export theresold for DA which is set on ur Scruffin Farm. Your TS is waiting for that theresold. It will be acquired to this job until it got 1000000 in ur Sanctuary. To skip that - set the timeout. Or you may assign additional DA. Or set priority=2 to your acquire scruffin job.

Max stock to import is set to 50%
Min stock to export is set to 0%

EDIT: Scruffin Fruit volume on the Sanctuary has now dropped below 20k and the DA is still sat there.

Just try to lower priority.
Priority to deliver ECells = 1
Priority to acquire Scruffin = 2

That will stop your Sanctuary pop from starving / start the pop growing.

I'm only a little further in than you but what I described above works, even if it goes against the grain to rely on an unshielded TS :).

I've now got three or four M3s and a second M6, all of which bailed, and the start of a satellite network going up. I just can't get my hands on another TS for love nor money at the moment.
Oh, that makes more sense, I actually started a new game using the (Scratch) scenario gotta figure out how to get a sanctuary again but found a free sector. I didn't need the scruffin farm though? I got the pop to 100/100 by ditching E-Cells from sanctuary too a station in the other sector next to Unknown and buying meat and running it back by jumping to and from the two using the starting M6 because its cargo is pretty large 4300 I think.

I run back 1000 food or more a trip then I used the reset perks mashed that a couple times to get the sanctuary rank too level 3 and activated the (no food consumption) perk on the sanctuary station which meant I didn't need any food for sanctuary.

Edit
Figured out how to claim and expand I had to bind the menu hotkey.[/b]

That seems to have done the trick, thank you :).

Nope. It's started twiddling it's thumbs again / stopped shifting e-cells and Scruffin Fruits. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I can't work it out :(.

Cheers darkternal. At the moment the Scruffin Farm has ~13k e-cells (out of a max of 25k) and about 9k Scruffin Fruits (out of a max of 25k). I've set both the import and the export thresholds on the Scruffin Farm to 0%.

The DA is "Waiting for destination import threshold".

I think they defaulted to 50% / 0% respectively. What would you suggest as better settings?

Started a fresh game. Grabbed the Demeter, set it up as a DA for the Sanctuary. Two equal priority 1 jobs to acquire Scruffin Fruit and distribute e-cells. The only thresholds I touched were those on the Sanctuary (retain 0 e-cells, gain 1,000,000 Scruffin Fruit).

The DA delivered a few loads of e-cells to the Scruffin Farm but has refused to bring any Scruffin Fruit back (it now has >4000 in stock on the factory), and also now refuses to supply more e-cells to the factory.

I'm kind of at a loss now. Options as I see them:-

1. Complete nuke from orbit and fresh install of X3 AP, Litcube and Mayhem, and hope that the problem just goes away.
2. Persevere and hope that the problem goes away.
3. Give up.

I'm not a wizard. If you want me to fix something, I need a savegame, as Darkternal said earlier.
