+====Re: <ListOptions>=====
+i think you got it wrong with
+<code xml>
+                <ListOptions
+               dataFrom=   "player"
+               list=      "*U"
+               /></code>
+note the close tag
+<code xml>
+                <ListOptions
+               dataFrom=   "player"
+               list=      "*U"
+                /  >
+</code>
+you shoulnd need the <code xml>  </ListOptions></code> since the / closes the tag after the data is read
+> I'm not with you here.  The original ListOptions in Tinkers.xml is
+   <ListOptions
+      dataFrom=	"player"
+      list=		"*U"
+   />
+> as shown.  The /> is needed because there is no </ListOptions>.
+> As I need to add code inside the list options element
+> ( <ListOptions> ... code goes here ... </ListOptions> ) it needs
+> an explicit closing tag and the /> is changed into a > on the opening tag. [[..:users:ptbptb]]
+**examples**
+<code xml>
+<RandomItem count="3d6"
+				criteria=		"aswd -NotForSale;"
+				level=			"7"
+				levelCurve=		"2"
+				damaged=		"100"
+				/>
+<Station type="&stCommonwealthTurret;" imageVariant="2"/>
+<Ship chance="10"	count="1" class="&scSapphireYacht;" orders="gateOnThreat"/></code>
+And the <globals> can go anywhere in the file as long as they are inside <TranscendenceExtension>(here)</TranscendenceExtension>
+oh and to overwrite vanilla items use the unid for them defined in the Transcendence.xml
