Station inventory

[Prophet]

When is the inventory for a station created?

What I'm trying:
Using the tinker.xml as a guide create more 'recipes'. I would like the player to be able to influence the tinker with an 'upgrade' feature and use an alternate <CustomWork> table depending on the level of the upgraded tinker.

Another use, to create a factory using a similar principle where the player donates ore/resources and gets commodities. In this case the items would be placed in the station 'warehouse' and the player would loot/jettison inventory between their cargo hold and the factory.

Items in a station are randomly created using the <Items> tag like this:

Code: Select all

<Items>
			<RandomItem count="20" 
					criteria=		"* +Res;"
					level=			"7"
					levelCurve=		"3"
					/>
			<RandomItem count="10" 
					criteria=		"f"
					level=			"8"
					levelCurve=		"3"
					/>
		</Items>

The items are probably placed in the station as soon as it's created into the system. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
