Station stock not updating

Martyn · August 09, 2015, 08:05:46 PM

I'm playing multiplayer on my own server, I'm playing as a trader but I'm realizing that the station's stocks are not updating, items nor prices, there is some way to fix this? I'm not posting this on bug report section because I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but as far as I know the station stock need to refresh every 5 min?!

PS: In server console show the menssages "TradeSystem: prices updated" and sometimes "TradeSystem: statuses updated" but nothing change in game.

Have you been docked during the update?

No, I tried undock and even restart the server but the items do not update.

Now that you are saying it, the items on the [EU][kG]kunix.org -PVE- / community server (http://forums.atomictorch.com/index.php?topic=153.0) have not been updated for some time now.
Since I made a longer pause in playing VE I can't tell you from experience, but prices used to flucturate a lot. See here. (http://forums.atomictorch.com/index.php?topic=719.0)

Maybe they changed something and it's intentional? When did your prices update the last time?

Made some tests buying everything on a station to see what updates, only equipments and power cells updated, no resource & good for trade. Resource & goods items and prices do not update making trading impossible after some time.

Have you edited your safefile by any chance? / Where there mods included?

No mods fresh install, I received an answer on steam forum and the devs said that goods and ores are not updating, so I think we can only wait for a fix.

That was cheat for testing the stock update, maybe I do that money when they fix trade I love trading in space sims

"We won't fix this, it was a designer's decision which was made to fight other more serious bugs."
Silberspeer said this when I asked if they will fix this problem. I hope they find another way to fix trading because in the current state is impossible to trade since the game don't have supply and demand and/or a production chain system.

Time for the modding to kick in. ^^
