Custom market

Post by RyanHoots »

I would like to create a custom market for my station. The default does not work for me. I'm thinking food would not be cheap on my station, same with minerals, alloys, luxuries, and other things you can't make (easily) on a station, while things like Combputers and Machinery are cheap because they can be made easily on a station.
Anybody know what I'd need to do in the shipdata and other files to do this? Thanks.

You need to copy the commodities.plist file, add a new unique key to it - something like 'ryan-villa-market' - and then add 'market = ryan-villa-market' to the shipdata.plist file. Simples.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks, Wildeblood.
Now I don't need to wonder why food is so cheap on the station.

Because you run a specialised and highly advanced low-G, GM, Hydroponics laboratory on-board?
