So I'm trying to spawn a few Incendiary Bomb Launcher forges in the Unknown Sector east of Legend's Home. I'm trying to use a script to spawn in the forges (since they cannot be found in game *easily*). I have successfully been able to spawn the station, using the General Object Commands > Create Objects > Create Station, also including the Trade Commands > For Stations > add default wares to station/dock. However, when I run the script, the station spawns, but does not run. It shows the IBL as its final product, and Ore, energy cells, and Nostrop Oil (?) as its required resources, but they seem to be just holding space, as the station will never enter a production cycle, even with the necessary resources. I am a rookie scripter, so any advice/help would be appreciated!

hmm.. after creating the station in the script, tell it to start job;

$station = create station ... blah blah
$station->start job

This usally gets the HQ working, so probably work for a normal station too.

Yup, I forgot about that command. I had actually forgotten to set it to $station->start job: TRUE. Thanks for the point in the right direction!
