factories

[warmonk8]

is there a point to having a factory in a sector your not in much or for that matter is reason to have them all over the space or dose it only works if your there in the same sector

Any sector you have assets in will stay active in the background.

So stations specifically, will buy/sell/produce while youre away

Incorret. Sectors you arent in go inactive after some period of time.

But I think they still stimulate economy. I have four mines in different tagged sectors and they generate income every few minutes (you can check that in the economics tab from the chat).

Teach me your ways. My mine refuses to generate any money, even at min price, and with 4 buying factories one gate away (and all of them filled only about half).

Is there any NPC presence in the system you've build your mine in?

Also, don't bother about buying factories or anything. This is not an X-universe game where every single ship in galaxy is simulated. In Avorion its as simple as "every random number of minutes see how much money should station send to player based on its type, stats, configuration and NPC standing"

Trading station, and 3 gates.

Well I don't know much about this myself since I recently started plaing Avorion after a long time. But I'll point a few things that might help:

1) Make sure you are building within a faction's territory and have good relations with them.
2) Make sure you have checked *Sell goods to others* and *Actively sell goods* from the factory
configuration. Also don't forget to set the price margin to atleast -15%.
3) Try tagging the sectors? (dont know much about this, but im assuming this makes the sector simulate trade)
4) Do not stay in the sector as that will cause the sector to become active and you'll see alot of cargo haulers getting stuck between asteroids trying to reach your mine unless you've cleared every single asteroid in that sector.
5) Try restarting. I had the same issue with my 4th mine. It only produced without selling but restarting the game fixed that for me.
