Trading stations do not spawn

Marcel shared this bug ago

Investigating

Hi guys,

I recently started a new game with the game mode "Star System". I'm playing with a few mods like Modular Encounters Systems and Exploration Enhancement Mod, but to mention this right up front, I've always done everything without mods when troubleshooting so I can directly rule out that it's due to the mods.

My problem is that although I have activated the ‘economy’ feature, no trading stations spawn. The first thing I read was that a datapad with coordinates should be in the pod when spawning. This is not the case - not even on a brand new world without mods. I have tried all the planet pods. In addition, I flew around the Earth-Like planet as well as the moon completely and found nothing. The same applies to the surface of the planets.

After some googling, I read that you can search for stations in Sandbox.sbc and see if any are spawned. This is not the case. Each faction just says ‘<Stations />’.

I have also created a Reddit post about this, in which other people report similar things.

Here is the link:

Hopefully you can do something about it, or help me! :)

Cheers

Hey guys,

I've played for around 10 more hours now and still nothing. I also tried to do the same in a creative world with "brute force". I created a world with the settings you mention in the linked post, spawned in, flew around in spectator (and moved the character to the spots I flew to) with a view distance of 50km. Afterwards I changed the settings and flew around again but without any result.

If you talk about "placing planets" does this mean manually or is "automatic" creation of planets while loading to a Star System world fine too? Cause if this is the problem I can try hosting a dedicated server in my LAN.

Cheers
