[RELEASE] Risk-based Economy

[mossfoot]

Would it be too ambitious to propose creating something that alters markets based on assumptions of trade in local (within one jump) systems over time, with occasionally resets of other modifying factors?

For example, there is a tech 4 commie agro planet next to Xexedi (tech 14) in galaxy 1. You'd think computers and machinery would get saturated there over time?

True, though the output from Xexedi gets split between seven agricultural systems and three mixed systems - and the only other properly industrial system in the region is Lerelace.

If I redo the OXP for 1.80, I'll just directly use the trader volume, which 1.80 calculates based on the government and economy of the local group.

The current release won't work very well with OXPs which keep secondary markets over save/load

Could you elaborate on that a little, please? I have Spara's In-System Market Restore installed as well, and am wondering if perhaps both together is not a good idea at present, in light of the above.

Essentially the secondary markets may be adjusted again when you reload (depending on whether Spara's OXP runs before or after this one). Simple hack to avoid that: change

Code: Select all

if (!ship.isStation) { return; }

at the top of the shipSpawned function in risk-based-economy.js to

Code: Select all

if (ship != system.mainStation) { return; }

and it'll only apply to the main station markets from then on.

Ok.. thanks!

FWIW, market restore oxp restores the market (or tries to) on shipSpawned.

A reworking of this for 1.81

The basic principle is the same but the internal implementation is quite different (and the prices may well differ a bit from the original)

Link seems broken.

New link in post below mine does indeed work.

I'm looking for javascript logic to work with the economic model used in Oolite v1.82 and later.
I've seen a couple OXPs/OXZs that work around the economic model but never with it.

I'm trying to come up with formulas to generate lowest and highest prices for a system for any given "common" (non-OXP) commodity.
Best I can do so far is use:
remotePrice = this._priceForCommodity(commodity,destinationInfo);
...over-and-over again and then pick the lowest and highest ones from the bunch.

This should work: Risk-Based_Economy_2.0.oxz
