Basicly the factory seems to be removed after a while, so we cant buy tractor beams. I was wondering if a kind soul would be willing to write a script that respawns the factory or puts tractor beams in stock.

bump

I'd be interested in that one as well, since I got no TB-Fab in my game..

I had the same problem, so I made Tractor Beam Recreator

You have to use Cycrow's Script installer to install. Once installed, open up the script editor, and run TBF.recreate.defaults.

This checks to see if there is a Split/Paranid Tractor Beam Factory in the appropriate sectors, and if not, creates new ones. It then adds some resources to the station, as well a single Tractor Beam.

Currently, it doesn't use any Text Files or Command numbers.

great thx.

hmm, i had the game running all last night Xylaan. With your plugin installed ( Offcourse i dont know how to check if it was installed correctly, i can only assume as i used the X Script Manager.

Do i need to do something to make the script trigger the check to see if there is a Tractor beam factory?

according to this quote

scroll down in the script editor down to the script "TBF.recreate.defaults" and run it manually i.e press 'r' 'enter' 'enter'


cheers

You need to highlight the script TBF.recreate.defaults in the script editor and press r to run it. It takes effect immediately.

Downloaded, installed and ran the script, works perfectly. Thanks!

When i ran this script, my parand race rank dropped big time!

All the way to Nomad 0%! Looks like a bug, dunno if you're already aware of this, but if your not, here you go.

That doesn't make much sense. Is it a plot game, and have you gotten to the point of the plot where your rep drops?

I'll try it on a fresh game to see if it has to do with trying to create a station that's already there.

I'm after the point where the paranid hate me, i got the ore mine in priest's wotsit, but my rank was fairly high not long ago, i might have acidentally run over a paranid ship in the Oberon (Elephant), that might have been it, i just thought i'd make it known in case it was the script, could be my problem

its the plot

when i ran this script it asks for a value input, either null or select a ship or station? is this correct and if so which should be ran?

LV also already released this one.
look in lv's scripts for it.
Cycrow has released his work around: tractor beam merchants in which i believe TB's are for sale on the bbs.

Last I read... The Bonus Pack (ES Signed) also adds TB Facts if they are removed by GOD / ect...
