Realistic Orbital Trade

Has it ever bothered you how the orbital traders can just magically teleport items right out of your stockpiles? This mod puts an end to that. With Realistic Orbital Trade, your pawns will now have to load up a shuttle with the goods you sold before the orbital trader gets their hands on them AND before you get your hands on the goods you bought.

The mod will guide you through all the required steps using the RimWorld quest and letter systems once you've made a trade with an orbital trader.

The mod can be added to a game at any time. Removing the mod should be fine as long as there is no active trading quest at the time. There will be a fairly large list of once-off errors when first loading such a save, however.


Mod compatibility is probably generally good, but there might be issues with mods that modify how orbital traders work or how vanilla shuttles work.

• Dynamic Trade Interface — A compatibility layer has been added to make DTI's custom trade window work correctly with ROT.
  
• Auto Seller — A compatibility layer has been added to make Auto Seller's AI trader work correctly with ROT.

• Call a trader — Reported to work by another player if the 'Absolute Cost Range' values (both numbers) in the mod settings are set to zero.

Make sure you update to the latest version of the mod, this was patched to work in version 0.8!


First, make sure your items you are trying to sell are in the colony's home area. The code used by shuttles to find sendable items uses the same logic as the code for forming a caravan does for finding valid items, which has the same requirement. This is a vanilla behavior that I'm not particularly interested in modifying.

Next, make sure the items weren't used up by/equipped by a colonist. Since we don't magically teleport items out of your stockpiles anymore, they're still available for other uses until they've been loaded onto the ship. Don't sell (all) things your colonists are currently consuming as you're likely to have fewer left than you promised to sell by the time the shuttle is loaded. Starting with the release of version 0.7, the mod will allow you to renegotiate a trade agreement so you can take off the items you no longer have available.

Finally, make sure items are stored safely so they don't deteriorate. If you sold an item at 50% and it's now at 48%, that's not the item you promised to the trader, and won't be accepted by the shuttle. Starting with the release of version 0.7, the mod will allow some small leeway about item health for the sake of ergonomics.


There's an ongoing issue where people report that this mod causes problems with other shuttles. Unfortunately, every time I test these scenarios myself, everything works fine. As such, I suspect there is another mod that is causing problems, but so far I have nothing solid to go on. Should you experience this kind of problem, help me help you by doing the following:

1. Make sure you have HugsLib or The Log Publisher from HugsLib.
   
2. Do whatever causes the error to show up.
   
3. Press Ctrl + F12, click Upload, wait until it's done, and then click Copy.
   
4. Paste the link into the comment section below, along with any additional information you have, if any.
