Launched from a station where I had saved with a large quantity of both gold (>3,000 kilos) and platinum (>4,000 kilos). Had a sudden rethink about my load strategy so (to save the 20 mins game time for autodock) hit Pause, F2, Begin New Game, then reloaded the save for that station. Lo and behold, a huge increase in my stores of precious metal. Specifically, the quantity of gold had increased by exactly 3,000 units (didn't note the numbers for the platinum increase, it was around 4,000 kilos but cannot swear it was exactly 4,000).
Now, the gold contract was for 3,360 kilos, and my hold originally contained 3,387 kilos. So the precise 3k increase doesn't seem to have come from those variables. It feels as though there is a small gap in the handling of the precious metals when they cross over to occupying tonnage that my slightly unusual combination of actions throws up (forgot to check if my new Jameson started off with a hold full of metals...). Would be interested to see if this is widely recreatable or just due to my particular combination of OXPs.
Running the 1.75.2 Windows install of Oolite. I'll hold off posting a Latest.log in the absence of spoiler tags
