!TPRPF (OBSOLETE)

NO LONGER NEEDED WITH 2.2.4b (2.2.3 is probably fine too, but 2.2.4b offers huge performance increases so use that) Accordingly, this mod is now unsupported. The mod is safe to remove from existing saves; if you happen to have been reliant on the trade hub buffs for consumer goods or something the trade hub buffs only mod is linked at the very bottom of this page.

Eliminates late-game lag caused by the trade system (Will not work miracles and make large late-game galaxies buttery smooth).

Change notes are extensive and detail every change this mod makes.

Compatible with 2.2.X.(Versions after 2.2.2 are unsupported; however they should also be unneeded.)

The original trade system is still in tact. The primary difference is that modules will not extend range.

This mod adds 1 collection range and 1 protection range to outposts while removing all collection range and protection range values from starbase modules and buildings. Other changes were made to balance out the loss of collection and protection range and are listed below.

The reason for this is that each starbase with additional protection/collection range seems to calculate its own pathfinding for collection and protection range individually on a daily basis which can cause massive late game lag especially with gateways and wormholes. The issue is more pronounced with mods, where this can cause egregious amounts of lag.

When using NSC and loading one of my Solar Strongholds with nothing but Trading Hubs my game slowed to a crawl with each day tick taking roughly 2-3 seconds each; furthermore, from what I've read on the forums even vanilla has this issue when enough starbases with range extending modules are built. After implementing the changes in this mod, the lag disappeared entirely.

I hope that Paradox addresses this issue, and I plan on discontinuing this mod when they do.
It seems like Paradox did indeed address the issue in patch 2.22; however, some users still report issues even with the patch, so I will still be maintaining this mod. They finally did it! At the very least, any current performance issues are far out of the scope of this mod and my own capabilities as a modder.

tl;dr

• +1 Collection Range
  
• +1 Protection Range
  
• Outpost icons now visible on the galaxy map (this allows you to link them up to your trade hubs without upgrading the starbase); otherwise, trade cannot be manually routed through outposts.

• Collection Range removed
  
• Protection Range removed

• +5% System Trade Value
  
• +1 Trade Value

• Piracy suppression added to all strike craft (see change log) Piracy suppression won't be visible in fleet designer; however, the total piracy suppression value will be visible on the finished ships themselves and in the shipyard (This should allow hangar bay equipped defense platforms to substitute for trade protection for outposts without being an outright freebie).

Trade value on outposts MUST be manually hooked up to trade routes with your trade capital (or other stations if you'd prefer to more finely tune which routes they go along). Upgraded star bases will automatically route trade value to your trade capital as per usual.

The removal a core mechanic to the trade system (range) means that you will have to adjust your trade routes if you're installing this mod on an old save. Piracy protection range is no longer extended from stations nor is collection range; however, outposts can now collect trade. For trade value on outposts, the trade routes must be manually routed to your trade capital or another trade hub connected to your trade capital through the trade map mode. In addition, you will need to either upgrade outposts along your trade routes or protect them with ships (ideally corvettes) to keep piracy down due to the removal of protection range. You cannot handle trade the same way you would in vanilla.

I usually play as follows:

• Trade Ports are placed in populated systems to take advantage of the trade hub trade value buffs
  
• Bastions are used solely for border areas and along very high value trade routes
