I'm just about to start using my first UT, and I've read of problems with them trading at your HQ and leaving goods you don't want or taking goods you want to keep.
Is there any way to stop your UT's from trading with your HQ? Both Buying and Selling.
I don't want to have to store everything in a TL as that defeats the purpose of having 500,000 units of storage space in the HQ and means I can't use the TL for anything.
(I've spent the last 20 minutes looking for a definitive answer and I can't seem to find one....)
Question about Headquarters and UT's

The Dock Ware Manager from the Bonus Plugins helps.
And setting the price -1 unit also helps.
EDIT: Sorry, we 'hoped' the DWM would help with UT's but in the end it's for the CLS and CAG scripts - sorry.

Try the following:
- Set the HQ to not trade with others.
- Set prices to minimum.
- Transfer resources into HQ with CLS Mk1.
- Limit how much CLS can haul with the Dockware Manager command.
NPC cannot buy if trade is 'NO'.
UT will not bring in wares, because there is no profit.
It seemed to some like UT does not buy from HQ either.

They may be camping there because your HQ does not have enough cash to buy what they are selling. I have had this problem. Got reid of all wares except the essential for ship building and dropped the prices so its not economical.RustyBayonet wrote:I've noticed that, it's really irratating and what's worse is that UT's actually camp at my HQ and do nothing else - it's costing me a fortune in lost profit!. I'm going to script a solution I think.

This setup has been working for me for almost 3 days (game time) now, there are some saying that even those setings won't work in their game but I sure have not seen anything leave my HQ unless I wanted.jlehtone wrote:Try the following:

there's also some speculation that UT's energy delivery may take advantage of the HQ's cheap energy but I haven't seen that either. (and even if it did happend I couldn't care less as I have so much energy overproduction in the supply complex near it that few 100 energy here and there wouldn't even register in the ammounts.)
The UT camping seems to happend when you have set price that attracts UT's but you don't have cash to buy what their selling.
