DeadAir Economy Overhaul (No DA Wares fork)

Variant of the DeadAir Economy Overhaul (mlog4 fork) with the three DA custom wares (da_mil_schematics, da_adv_schematics, da_laborunion_contracts) and all their production modules removed. All other DA economy tuning is preserved (pricing rebalance, hullparts→claytronics recipe swap, workforce effects, station variety, defence platform scaling).

When to use this variant

Section titled “When to use this variant”

Use the No DA Wares Eco fork if:

  • You play with VRO 5.01 and want its economy tuning uncluttered by DA custom wares
  • You play with X4-Reemergence (when it lands on 9.0)
  • You run vanilla economy but want the DA station enhancements without the wares
  • You want DA’s station variety, defence tuning, and workforce effects without the custom-ware economy layer

Use the standard DA Eco fork if you want the full DA experience with schematics + labor contracts.

Removed:

  • Three custom wares (da_mil_schematics, da_adv_schematics, da_laborunion_contracts) and all their production modules from libraries/wares.xml
  • Corresponding station recipes in libraries/god.xml — DA wares no longer produced at faction stations

Preserved (all standard DA Eco features):

  • Station enhancement pipeline (storage / habitation / docks / defence)

  • Station variety cosmetic connectors
  • Job Helper integration for vanilla wares

Migrating from the standard fork mid-save

Section titled “Migrating from the standard fork mid-save”

Disable the standard deadair_eco extension in the Extensions menu, install this fork, enable it. Existing save with DA wares in trader baskets/cargo should be safe — X4 silently drops unknown ware refs. Test on a copy first.
