How do I set Station Resource prices (station I own)
I have been playing for a while, but I heard you can set the price for a good so that it becomes attractive for NPC traders to come and buy goods off you, taking the load off distribution.
Where do I change The price for A good I am Producing and want to sell?
Is it in the same tab Logistical view where you add the products in the first place?
I am starting with a hull part factory- so I have a basic setup for making ships later.
As I hear Hull parts are decently expensive and always in demand.

I am set up In Heretics End and claiming it- Bosa tai's base
Any reasons not to claim it?

There is a screen where you can see your station goods etc.
On automatic, the station will assign storage based on what raw materials you need and what you produce, (and any intermediate wares).
The price you sell at depends on how full your storage is for that ware.
If you have 10% of full storage it might be minimum price.
If you have 90% full storage, the manager wants to sell the ware, so will reduce the price drastically.

You can set the price manually if you want by unchecking auto pricing.

The station will auto add wares as you add production modules but you can set manually.

Stations need a bit of capital to build up stocks before they will start to sell unless you intervene manually. You can order a ship to fill up and sell manually if you need the cash...


Hull parts is good - just make sure you can get all the raw parts nearby (or build yourself.

Hull parts / claytronics are always good for building, but you might want to look for items with short production runs to make money fast.

Especially as I rarely make money from hull parts / claytronics because I wish to use most of them for my own building.

Get familiar with the logistics tab.
You can try setting a lower amount of storage if you like. so instead of it having 500,000 for hull parts, you could try setting it to 100,000.

If set to automatic it should change storage allocations (auto ones) every time you add a working module etc.

Ok so it is in the logistics tab then? where I change the storage and Pricing requirements?

Money is not the issue at the moment - playing Nividium cartel mod and have 20 miners.
However they mine illegal Nividium so the stations they sell at could go hostile and block trades.
