Orbital Trader Faction Patches
This mod patches all industrial factions to allow you to request orbital traders, as well as making some tweaks to the Trader's Guild, letting you call military aid and trade caravans and allowing them to offer quests. This mod also updates the list of orbital traders and trade caravans to include support for a few mods.
Known Issues: You can call trade caravans from the Trader's Guild on space maps, but they'll never arrive. This is because the game doesn't have a specific flag for space maps to prevent trade caravans, instead it just relies on the space temperature (-75) being below the minimum temperature (-40) for most factions. In order for the Trader's Guild to appear in space, they need to have their minimum temperature below -75, meaning the option to call caravans isn't greyed out.
Mod Support:
Odyssey Orbital Trader
Gene Trader
Metals Trader for 1.6
Livestock Traders
I originally wanted to support Anomaly Orbital Trader and Orbital Book Merchants but no matter what I did, they always returned errors even using code that worked for other mods. The patches are still there but disabled, if anyone can work out how to fix them please tell me.
Odyssey *may* be required, as the only faction you can call trade ships from by default is added in Odyssey but I expect the code to make the feature work is in the base game.
