Responsible Managers

Player-owned Managers dilligently sends in station profits; Managers should no longer be able to conspire against you by keeping an unholy amount of Credits. (lol jk they aint got no conspiracy)

I became increasing annoyed when I had to routinely ask each and every Manager I supervise to see if they actually have any excess Credits to turn in. Then, as I browse the codes, I became aware of a problem: Managers are lazy.

Dilligence: Managers now always check for surplus after every trade transaction they made. Notably, they will now send in surplus after selling wares to other player-owned ships and stations.

Awareness: Managers at Energy Cell production stations are now able to send in surplus. As long as there are no orders to e.g. buy drones, Managers will try to keep a small amount of money to themselves to fully replenish secondary wares. The remaining money will be considered as surplus, and will then be sent in.
For example, if an Energy Array has a max-assigned 2000 storage for Food Rations (its secondary ware), the Manager will reserve 33*2000 = 66000 Cr, and will turn in the rest.

Adaptiveness: Managers who are ordered to buy drones for their Energy Cell production stations will automatically revert to their default "150% of budget" surplus-handling protocol. When all the drones are restocked, they will resume their new "secondary ware reservation" protocol.

You should now see profits flowing in smoothly if you have a number of stations producing wares. Expect sudden "profit spikes" if you have several Energy stations that have been active before this mod is installed.

• Save-game compatible? CAUTIOUS YES; just try not to enable/disable this mod when a Manager informs you that he is sending in Credits.
  
• Conflicts with other mods? NO; unless there is a mod out there that do big changes to the code, we should be fine.
