Manufacturing drone parts is a big mistake...

[ralfaltmann]

I thought producing drone parts would be a self-running money machine - because each and every station and bigger ship would need repair, defense and trade drones. But it seems that this was a big mistake, there's no demand for those parts :(

I hope Egosoft will implement a drone production module, maybe this will help. Anyway, should I destroy the drone part module? All ressources for drone parts are already manufactured by my PHQ, so will selling those ressources make more money?

should be pretty good really in my game at least the major sellers are microchips, quantum tubes and hull parts since they are used to make quite a number of items

you could also potentially upgrade things a bit with advanced composites, antimater cell, antimatter converter and engine parts down the road which seem to sell decently well. might need to increase wafer and refined/teladium tho and would need to tack on a hydrogen miner.

as for destroying the drone part module unless your running out of storage it shouldn't be a issue just remove trade restrictions on the component parts if you have it set and both npc traders and yours should sell em as stock levels rise

smart chips and claytronics can also sell decently or the claytronics can just be used for more stations.

it really depends on your game tho if you havent yet I highly suggest dropping sat's to cover as many stations as possible to get a better overview of what is and isn't in demand

Seems that I was too fast with complaining about it - the drone parts as well as their ressources are selling good now. It just took a while to get the trades running. Thank you.
