Logain Industries Production Modules (PM v7.2) 29/08/2010
Introduction:
Logain Industries has developed Production Modules which enable Docks, TL & M1 class ships to produce wares. Using Nano Production Technologies modules are able to replicated traditional station production.
PM has three main functions, Production, Salvage and Repair.
PMv7.2 script is only compatible with X3:TC 2.5 or greater
PMv7 is not compatible with older versions, or existing game saves with PM stations deployed
LI_MODv7 - The.cat & .dat files contain the FDN, PM models and the references for SSDN (approx 8.5MB). X3:TC 2.7.1 compatible only
If you do not intend to use LI_Modv7 you will need to remove the following any script file starting “plugin.LI.Dock.xxxx”.
This is a precaution only if you are using other mods that contain FDN dock references
Required Utilities:
PMv7 requires Community Plugin Configuration by Cycrow.
PM Bug Fix: 05/01/2011
Fix for PM display of Energy producing Modules

FAQ:
FAQ post started for v7.
Introduction:
Logain Industries has developed Production Modules which enable Docks and TL/M1class ships to produce wares. Using Nano Production Technologies modules are able to replicated traditional station production.
Modules:
Modules are the core element which allow the script to mimic the production of Wares, Ships, Stations & Equipment. There are some key concepts you need to understand:
Module Grouping:
Modules are automatically grouped to complete production task as follows:
Wares & Equipment production - Grouping increase the amount produced
Ships & Stations production - Grouping reduces the production time
Ship Repair -Grouping reduces the repair time
Salvaging is the only Module task which does not use grouping, one salvage task = 1 Module.
Grouping is achieved by creating a Parent & Child relationship between Modules completing the same task.
Parent Modules:
This is the first Module configured to run a production task, all additional Modules added to complete the same task will inherit the settings and status of the Parent Module. The Parent Module is checked each production cycle and if it fails all Child Modules will also fail. Any Child Module added will not contribute to the current production cycle.
Child Modules:
Are automatically added to a Parent Module if they are completing the same task and they will inherit their Parent Module status and settings. However the Child Module is individually checked each production cycle.
Module States:
Pending – Child Module added to an existing production cycle, it will not contribute to the current cycle
Paused – Parent or Child Module which has been paused by the player. The pause will take affect after the completion of the current production cycle
Stalled – Parent or Child Module which has failed a resource check
Cap Reached – Parent or Child Module which has been automatically paused due to a player set production cap
Storage – Parent or Child Module that cannot complete its production task due to storage space issue
Clearing – A Parent or Child Module which has been stopped by the player and which will be cleared on completion of its current production cycle
If the production cycle is running with no issues the Parent Module will display the remaining time of the cycle.
Production Modules:
Production Modules mimic the production of Wares, Ships, Stations and Ship Equipment based on the blueprint selected. The production will run continually until cleared by the user.
Salvage Modules:
Salvage takes a physical Ship, Station or Ship Equipment and converts it to raw resources; this process will also build a local Blueprint of the item to enable Production. Unlike the Production task, Salvaging will only run once and release the Module when complete.
Salvage actions:
Ships – Will be salvaged, stripped of all wares and added as a Blueprint if one does not exist.
Stations – Will be salvaged, and added as Blueprint if one does not exist, the Station product will also be added as a Blueprint if ones does not exist.
Equipment – Equipment on docked ships or locally help will be displayed. The equipment can then be selected to convert to blueprint. Equipment Salvaging happens immediately
Salvage limitations:
As ships can only hold a item of ship equipment they cannot salvage equipment
Once configured the Salvage task cannot be modified
Repair Modules:
Damaged ships docked locally will have a repair option to, the amount
resources required depend on damage and the repair time is dependant on the damage and the number of Modules committed to the repair task.
Repair Module limitation:
Once configured the Repair task cannot be modified
Ship Requirements:
PM will only run on M1 or TL class ships
Supply Command Software is required
Blueprints:
Blueprints are created at stored locally when a Ship, Station or Ship Equipment is salvaged.
They hold the build details required to produce the item.
Known Limitations:
Ware Blueprints can only be created by salvaging the source factory; this means that PM will not currently handle custom wares
Shield Production Complex produce two types of shields for each level, Light, Medium & Heavy. PM will select the first product to create a Blueprint; the station will need to be salvage again to create the second product Blueprint. The second salvage task should not be started until the first is complete.
Buying LI_Modv7 Stations:
There is a potential issue adding custom stations to existing race Shipyards, by which tradable items become unavailable to the player and the Shipyard show no items for sale.
To overcome this issue if LI_Modv7 is installed two new Shipyards are created for each Major race and all LI Stations are added for purchase as normal by the player. This removes any requirement to modify and existing race Shipyards
LI Stations can be bought as normal via these outlets
Production Complexes:
Production Complexes are specifically designed to support a large number of concurrent Modules and increased storage capacity.
Module & Storage Capacity:
There are two Production Complexes in the LI_Modv7, giving a range of module support storage capacity:
Large – 200 Modules and 80,000,000 units of storage
Medium – 100 Modules and 40,000,000 units of storage
The player will require increasing standings with a race to buy each Complex.
Vanilla Docks:
Vanilla Docks can support 40 concurrent Modules but they are limited by their storage.
M1 & TL Class Ships:
Support 10 concurrent Modules.
By default M1, TL class ships and Docks other then the Production Complexes are not registered as PM enabled. They can be added via the Configuration Menu.
Docks are added by type, Ships are added individually.
Storage Management:
By default the storage usage can be governed by setting a production cap against the produced product. When the cap is reached the production will be automatically paused and restarted as required.
FDN Integration:
If FDN is installed additional Storage features will be available:
Local Storage:
This sets a local limit against the produced product which will maintained that level before passing surplus a selected FDN Node, or out into FDN INN (Inter Node Networking).
Available FDN Nodes:
This lists all FDN Node enabled docks in INN range, each Node can be selected at any time. If the Producing Station is itself an FDN enabled Node it will also be listed and selectable.
List of Wares for the selected linked Node:
This list all ware held at the linked FDN Node, the ware settings at the Node can also be accessed & updated via this list.
Cap & Storage Considerations with FDN Integration:
When used with FDN there are three Storage levels to consider when managing product levels:
The Production Cap
The Maintain Locally level
The FDN Ware level (at all Nodes in IIN) range
All three can be used to manage the production, access and distribution levels. If the producing station is its own default Node it is recommended that the Maintain Local levels & FDN Ware levels match to minimise any player confusion. However it is not required by PM or FDN as the supply logic will calculate and use the best option.
PM modified HQ:
PM has been designed and built to use a modified HQ as its Production Complexes; this was done purely to provide adequate storage units to support bulk production
Modified HQ & Blueprint issues:
The game will only recognise the last HQ type dock deployed when saving Blueprints to the player HQ. This is an issue for any Mod using modified HQ docks to provide usable storage to the player. To overcome this limitation FDN v7 and the accompanying LI Mod v7 employ the same solution as Enhanced Equipment Docks by Saetan.
The Mod file now contains two references for each LI station, one designated as an Equipment Dock and one as a HQ. The Equipment Dock is a dummy ref which is installed at Shipyards for purchase and deployment by the player.
When the player opens the PM Main Menu or Configuration Menu all player docks are checked and if there is a dummy dock deployed it will be replaced by the appropriate HQ version.
Know issues:
After you built a LI Station you will be able to buy blueprints. But only the player headquarter can save blueprints, so if you don't have one, this blueprints will be lost.
Acknowledgments:
As already stated the Blueprint fix is used by Saetan’s Enhanced Equipment Docks and thanks go to him for pointing me at the solution. Thanks must also go to Lucike who came up with and developed the solution.
Configuration Menu:
The configuration menu allows you to enable PM features on vanilla/custom docks and M1/TL class ships.
You can turn on/off dynamic update menus for the Menus
Debug logging can also be turned on/off for the main PM processes.
PM can also be fully reset from this menu; this will terminate all PM tasks and clear all local & global variables.
Credit and resource requirements for Ship & Station Production and Salvaging can be modified in the configuration menu. Removing credit and resource requirements will be offset by increased Energy Cell requirements.
The default race can be set here, this affects the race specific wares required to build Ship Equipment.
