Maybe don't use Inara for this. Their data is pulled from places CMDRs are visiting, and of course other people using Inara means those spots will be rushed. I've been able to find most commodities just fine using the in-game tools.
Having the same problem. What was the answer.Greetings
Can somebody please tell me how we get to choose the name for our station. I completed it and it set a default name. Can’t seem to find an option to rename.
Thanks
Edit: found the answer thanks
The current quantity is fine. I managed to get 1600 in 5 runs to fill my order in an area that looked exactly like @Easy's Inara photo. You wouldn't buy tickets, games and consoles from scalpers. Why would you want to in a game too?
I bet after a month of this. So March 27th. You will start to see a decline in the market issues because of the other colonies building up their systems to provide the same resources or more. Its now turned into a game of hurry up and wait, at least for it to become normal.
Everything is out there. Somewhere. And there was enough of it for 8000-9000 system claims and 13000+ structures in the past WEEK.
Looks like you're looking in the wrong spots. Issues seem to be: limiting to large pad only, not filtering on minimum supply and, well, using inara.
Edit: noting in the screenshot below is Large stations.
Try my guide:
Finding scarce goods without Inara
UPDATE: FD seem to have buffed CMM supplies quite substantially now, so the specific example below is now somewhat redundant, but in general this guide still works for finding scarce goods. UPDATE 2: Insulating Membranes are the next FOTM, but again, this guide is equally applicable ...Or CMMs...

This.
I'm still not sure what is the actual purpose of the refinery contact when the refined commodities can already be purchased directly. Not to mention there's no hotspots for the listed ores so you can't even do targeted mining.
Secret Sauce? Looking at the market info tab in the commodity market tells you nearby systems where those goods are produced.
So... i get the feel a few others have mentioned this... but seems like prerequisite facilities aren't being detected atm.
Trying to build a Tier 2 Security Station, needs a Tier 1 Relay station. Just built the Relay station... but Security Station says it still needs a relay station in the system.

Log completely out of the game and log back in. You will then be able to build the security station.
When can we start building stations again? Its been a couple days and I still do not have my system architect status back.
Hi, I just wanted to do a quick post to express my feedback of the experience so far of colonization. I found it interesting but rough and incomplete in terms of rewards, user interface and overall purpose & experience.
It's also time for the next ship big cargo hauler ship that puts the T9 to shame but fly's better in super cruise with more optimizations. That would also help the experience to be more interesting and an easy arx purchase if the ship was designed in a cool design. Unless changes to rewards occur I can't see my self doing much more of this activity past the rare occasional event.
Thanks for hearing my thoughts! =)
- No control over initial station placement – Getting stuck on the dark side of a planet with no sunlight is frustrating.
- No material tracking – We need a materials list or a pinned mission in the transactions panel to check resource requirements when away from the colonization ship.
- Lack of personal base-building – Building for AI factions is fine, but without player-made factions, personal bases, or meaningful rewards (like item storage, resource refining, customization or meaningful passive income), it feels disappointing.
- No incentives for teamwork – Players should be able to claim systems as a squadron/vanguard, share rewards, and create player-driven missions like hiring friends or npc's to help build.
- Passive income is too low – The earnings are so small that they provide no real benefit.
- UI lacks key info – There’s little to no detail on economy types, structure benefits, or meaningful differences between options.
- No abandon button – Mistakenly placed outposts should have an option to be removed.

Could it be they need to be fully operational (i.e. after tick) before counting? Is this ruled out by now?
I managed to solve this. Out of the three sattelite installation options, only the first one (Hermes) is actually recognized as a sattelite installation. Once it's built you can immediately place tourist settlements. The second one spawns a science installation for example.
Take a look at the structure via the system POI menu (lower left), you'll find it under the construction icon. It will pop up a construction progress panel on the right.
There's a list of remaining materials required there.
Maybe all the software out there that are reporting market data to EDDN and Inara should be updated so that they send another report after the player has made purchases, so that the sent data is actually up-to-date.
Unable to build any ground stations in my system aswhen I activate the SC Suite the game crashes. Have tried Syncing the game files but with no joy. Any news on Fdev fixing this problem or is there a workaround.
Have put in a ticket in Issue Tracker but as yet no joy.
