Manually adding Food Rations

As of v1.18 this part of the plot is broken. However below is a work-around - I only suggest doing this if you know what you are doing! Backup your saves before-hand!

First we need to open up the save game and search for our Rahanas Container ship. So open up the save (often in C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Egosoft\X Rebirth\<steam-id>\save), and search for the string;

owner="player"


Now keep searching through the save until you see a entry like so;

<component class="ship_l" macro="units_size_l_kit_container_01_macro" connection="space" owner="player" knownto="player" id="[0x1706]">


Now we need to remove the current job and add some wares. So scroll down to the following section:

<trade>
  <orders>
    <trade id="[0x40]" seller="[0x16c1]" buyer="[0x1706]" ware="foodrations" price="25" amount="421"/>
  </orders>
  <shopping>
    <trade id="[0x41]" seller="[0x16c1]" ware="foodrations" price="25" amount="421" min="421"/>
    <trade id="[0x42]" buyer="[0x8d0a]" ware="foodrations" price="24" amount="421" min="421"/>
  </shopping>
</trade>


Now delete any lines between <orders>, and <shopping>

Next is adding of the wares. Copy 'n paste the following;

<cargo>
  <summary connection="cargo">
    <ware ware="foodrations" amount="300"/>
    <ware ware="fuelcells" amount="2000"/>
  </summary>
</cargo>


Now place like so;

Adding wares to the cargobay

Save your changes. Hopefully everything went okay, and now your ship should have the 300 x Food rations. I recommend removing the ship from your squad, wait a few seconds then re-add (just to clear the old order). Once done, tell the captain to sell the wares (again) and hopefully he should turn up 20-30 seconds and sell the wares;



Yeah, I know I shouldnt be having to post things like this. However this mission is totally bugged atm.
