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.

Is anyone else having the problem that the Tradeships land whereever they want? I have set up a zone from the mod, where they are supposed to land. It used to work. But after playing for a while something broke or whatever happened Idk, now they land anywhere except that zone.

The task item cannot be delivered, the prompt is ：your caravan does not have xxx resource

Is there any chance we could see these ships as shuttles from the new DLC? I've always wanted to fly the trader ships.

Besides the quests for this being bugged, does it work on space tiles with a gravanchor otherwise?

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.
