Moving Capital Removes Trade Routes

[ArmChairAttila]

Just a FYI for you guys, do not move your capital if using trade routes. I moved my capital and all my trade routes disappeared and they did not refresh. I then moved my capital back to the original system and nothing changed. Even a reload did not fix the trade routes. My current game is effectively over

If you select the starbases and the new capital in the trade map mode can you recreate the trade routes manually?

edit: just tried this myself. After changing the capital go to trade routes map mode, select the trade hubs and then right click them towards the new capital system. UI is bit confusing but you should be able to recreate the trade routes that way.

Oh, didn't know this thanks.

//create the trade routes manually//
Can't believe I didn't notice I could do that... My solution to similar 'unconnected stations' problems was to delete them and recreate the stations with console commands... your way is much better

I just found out the hard way you need an upgraded starbase in your capital system for trade routes to go to it. The UI is not super helpful about explaining this.
