Starbase Refinery

from Sins Forums

Hi,

I am trying to get an Starbase work as an refinery. I tried to base it on the TEC tradeport upgrade and just change the cargotype of the linked cargoship to RefineryResources, but everytime i built this upgrade the game crashs.

Does the game expect the cargotype TradeCredits if the starbase has tradeincome?

Is there some other way to spawn refineryships from the starbase with or without upgrade?

Maybe build them just as frigates in shipfactory or as a figthersquad, not sure if that would work.

 

I hope for some advice

I'm afraid its not possible to do. I tried this as well, but the game sadly can be kind of picky about these sort of things.

Instead of a refinery however, you could get a starbase to work a like the Advent's resource focus. However, that would take up an ability slot.

Theoretically there is an alternative, using abilities. By having a passive ability unlocked via a leveling up of the star base, you can have an invulnerable refinery spawned that dies when the star base does.

I'm afraid this is not a reliable solution because the game will crash if you try to spawn certain planet modules, including trade ports or refineries, at uncolonizeable gravity wells. Which is presumably the main reason one would want them on a Starbase.

That is a pity.
