Trader ships

Description
Adds trader spaceships to the game. Ships will visit your colony, preferring landing pads (either from royalty expansion, or landing zone designation added by this mod), and trade with you just like visiting caravans, without the need for trade beacons or comm console. Trader ships are meant to replace orbital traders, but you can set both to be active in settings.

Ship traders use same inventories as orbital traders. Mods that add more traders, like Let's Trade, are compatible: you'll get traders from those mods as trade ships.

Does not require Royalty.

This mod should be safe to add to a save game. Removing it when the ship is mid-flight will break the game (black screen and constant error messages). Otherwise, you will get some error lines in log but game should recover.

I received a task that requires me to deliver goods, but I am unable to do so after the merchant's spaceship lands. What should I do

Hi! Love this mod, but I noticed a problem: When purchasing from the trader ship, items are only generated within a fixed circular radius (around 25x25 tiles?). Once this area is filled, new purchases stop spawning entirely, even if there's free space outside the radius. The only workaround seems to be manually clearing the drop zone — which makes high-volume trading (especially when a colonist has a trade inspiration) difficult to use.

Quest crashes, trying to land trader ship in space on platform with grav anchor and not map with grav ship. I have a debug of the quest if that helps. I don't see a discord.

Sometimes I get trade ships that have the same inventory as visitors. Is that intentional?

It happens with only this mod loaded, so it's not some compatibility issue either.

Краш игры, при автосохранниях в событиях с коряблём

I got a quest to sell pelt coats from a trader ship. It said that if I accept the quest, the ship would land to retrieve the items but after I accepted the quest, no ship landed and the game crashes whenever I try to save. I'm going to have to skip these quests from now on.

Ship gave me a quest, needing resource. I had it in my base. Could not finish it, because "your caravan does not have xxx resource" but it was in my base beside the landed ship. Forming caravan a does nothing. Any idea? Not even dev mod was of help...
