Trade stations not spawning and disappearing!

Won't Fix

Hello people at Keen Software House. So far I’ve been seeing that trade stations despawn when you go away from them, and you could no longer make a trade stations appear when you have set planets in the empty world and save it and then turn on economy and go back to it and where it used to have station spawn and now you don’t have anything and you don’t have any data pads that spawn with you inside of the respawn pods. Instead there is nothing. You could still get them to spawn on the solar system scenario, but then they disappear when you go away from them, which is majorly concerning. It feels unnatural to look in the admin menu and see that they are gone. And now there’s a feeling of uncertainty about them going back or being seen by other players since I want to make a world that has these trade stations in them. When I make the system that uses a random star system generator after I spawn in the solar system with the economy on it allows me to keep some of the planets, but it no longer will show data pads because apparently modded planets don’t work with this anymore. This is a real problem for those who want to have people doing economy missions. And add more experience to a single player and multiplayer PVE and PVPVE experience. If you could fix this and make it so that when you have an economy world setting turn on that trade stations will randomly spawn around a planet and possibly even have a data pad in the respawn pods, that would be great. I don’t know if this stuff is new as a feature, but I personally don’t like it as a player of Space Engineers.

Michael,

Your stations probably aren't actually despawning. They just don't show up in the admin menu unless you are within a minimum distance. You can check your save file to confirm their locations.

As for the issue with custom solar systems, that is being discussed at https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/44358 though for some reason Keen hasn't replied in weeks.
