Installing items away from colony
« on: May 08, 2023, 12:24:00 PM »

I'd like to be able to install an item on a colony without having to be present in person provided the colony stash has the relevant item in it.
I often put colony items in the stash on the colony's I intend to install them in but I'm always slightly peeved I can't order my colony workers to install the thing without having to oversee it personally.

This rewards planning ahead and prevents having to go all the way back to your colony just to install one or two items.

(Note: I'm not suggesting items in your fleet can be installed on your colony's without being present. Just the ones being placed in stashes on your planets.)

Thoughts?

Hmm.

data/config/settings.json
allowRemoteIndustryItemManagement
Set to true

Not 100% if it still works correctly all around, though.

I get this. I have an item in my stash that would give 50% +- more income.
Not sure what it's called.

Edit: nvm just reread your comment and I misunderstood.
I suppose I could change the settings but that would feel a little like cheating I guess?
Is there a reason this is off by default Alex?

(Making it doable everywhere encourages installing/uninstalling items to game certain things, I think.)
