Food is a tricky one to make a profit on because the New Cargoes pricing overlays the existing Agri/Ind bias for the base trade good, and the relative variation in generic food prices between Agri and Ind is huge. Possibly I need to tweak the pricing there a bit to make it a bit easier to make a profit - a static 10Cr. sales bonus at importers might be sufficient to give at least a little bit of profit for Food while not noticeably affecting the more profitable cargoes.pagroove wrote:mm I bought Goat Soup at a planet that was producing it for 13.4 cr/tc after gossip in the bar that I could sell it well on some other planet. So I set of only to come at the end of a journey to sell it for the same price (13.4). So my question is: How long does the 'gossip' stay true. Or is is like real gossip up to you to investigate if it is a rumor or not.
The trade routes for the basic goods are almost entirely static, so if the gossip was true to begin with - it's about 80% accurate for trade routes - it will remain true permanently. (You can get temporary market collapses and recoveries, but they're fairly rare)
Maybe if I add a local import/export list? Exports are fairly obvious anyway by looking at the local market, but Imports are probably too hard to find out because you can't ask about the price of a good unless you have some in your hold. That's probably a little too difficult, yes.pagroove wrote:I wonder if a sort of Frontier like mechanism is possible. In frontier you had major Export and minor imports etc. It would help a little if you could see what they are. Of course this should be implemented in such a way that it is not spoiling all the fun.
Okay, I'll add that in. At least then you could find out what the current system wanted and maybe start looking around for that. It might make figuring out the relationships between system description and import/export a bit easier, certainly.
Not in New Cargoes, no. What sort of custom screens?pagroove wrote:BTW: Did you add planet descriptions in the OXP too? I noticed some custom F7 screens. Nice .
