[Help] Questions for modding station income

[Astus]

After I found my first abandoned ship I had a huge disposal of credits. I read online that stations are a great permanent source of income so I thought it would be perfect for me as an explorer to have 2 miningstations somewhere in the galaxy to fund my journey....

Well... it turned out that stations don't generate much income income but mostly resources that you could trade and that they do nothing but cost you crew upkeep when you are not in the system...

Since I don't want to abandon them I thought why not make a mod to make them generate income similar to how the crew is payed but with a plus instead of a minus.

The only problem is that I can't find anything related to crewpayment or playerstations in the gamefiles...

 

So my questions are:

• Where can I find the crew payment code in the files?(Are they even scripts or are they in the binaries?)
  
• How can I change the payment of the crew and can I set it to a negative value?
  
• How can I access the amount of stations a player has?
  
• How can I access the payment of the crew of a player controlled station?
  
• How can I make an event that is triggered every x minutes?
  

 

(Even one or two answered questions would suffice to make something that works.)

Did you tried the out of sector production mod?

Maybe that one helps

This mod only makes something while you are in the sector. I want it to work without the need of visiting it so it won't be of a great help.

Even though the mod has something on the roadmap: simulating trade. This is basically what I want. But it's not in yet.

Actually the game is almost frozen out of system.

 

We are a few to try to put things together t make the game work even when we are not in the sector, but so far Laserzwei as the best approach.

So in my opinion, just wait a little bit for updates or if someone find a way with a mod to work around.

 

But one last thing, keep in mind that even if a mod make this happen, if it's too heavy and drain all the server, it won't help at all (what happens when mods become too heavy and complicated), so i'm pretty sure this thing should be rushed if anybody find a way.

Well I don't want to simulate any systems. I just want something similar to the crew payment system. It should just add money instead of draining it.
