Buying Platinum

Post by Alex »

Hi All,
A question about buying gold and platinum;
example;
gold 45 available I have 600 already, Is there a way to buy the 45 without doing it one Kg at a time?

Though it does seem to happen with platinum more often and with higher amounts available like 65kg

Happy hunting
Al

With any item, if you select the line and just press enter you should purchase as much as you can (subject to your cargo hold space and credits available).

Just hit return/enter twice. (Or alternatively double-click the line with gold twice)
The first time you sell until the max, on the second return you buy everything back including the new 45 kg. In Oolite you don't loose money buy selling and buying back so this is the fastest way.

Starting with version 1.73 you will also be able to use shift-left/right for selling/buying the maximum.
