Repeating order?

[Harmacist]

I want to setup a constant trade route between two station. Always buy the same stuff, always sell the same stuff. How can I do that?

I've found no option to do this, auto-trade in specified sector/sectors or trade for your own station is as close as you get from what I can see of the menus so far unless I'm missing something.

This is currently not possible. You will need to request the feature on the Egosoft forums.

10 games in the x-series, 30 years making these and others, and I'm the one that needs to request to add a bloody button to the behaviour sceen to repeat order?

Given doing so would cause the buy price to inflate as you kept taking the product, and the sell price to drop as you forced saturation of that resource on the destination station... Why would you want a repeating order between two stations? Supply and demand economy makes that a very bad long term decision...

If done 3-5 times and the gap is significant, there's no harm. I am currently trading Microships between two stations of the same system for a 20%+ markup (100-150k per trip, per medium ship), and I want to drain these stations dry

You can queue up back to back trades. I’ve done 6 so far. 3 buys and 3 sells and it knew that the 3rd sell would fill up the station.

There might be a limit of 24 orders. I seemed to hit that limit with 24 satellite placement orders.

I've deleted a number of bumps and reactions to those bumps. I'd remind you not to bump your own thread.

I've decided to let this one go as there have been a few constructive comments recently that keeps it open. Try to keep it on topic from here on.

Thanks.

I don't know if it's been mentioned... But modding this into the game could be the solution you're looking for.

That is, if it's possible (i'm no modder).

Then please keep the frontpage clean without all those stickies (use a different subforum for important stuff) and be more active replying to answers. Too many questions, and zero help from mods and devs, aside from shutting down threads

Holding shift when giving an order repeats. It's cumbersome, but...a workaround.

Repeats? I think it just queues it
