Average commodity prices on the Wiki

Post by phkb »

I was just looking on the wiki page for commodities (here: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Commodities), and noticed that the average prices don't match the user guide. For example, Food is listed as having an average price of 4.4CR, whereas the User guide PDF has food with an average of 5.0CR.

I'm assuming this is just a case of the Wiki being out of date (and I'm happy to update it), but before I do I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't another reason for having different numbers.

That's interesting. 5.0 is so far as I can tell the correct value.

The prices are changing a little for 1.81 (mainly just in that values not multiples of 0.4 credits will be possible, though there are a few minor changes around the edges elsewhere due to differences between the algorithms). The new ones should be relatively easy to read out of trade-goods.plist

That's surely the mean price rather than the average - I think that there are a lot more places with low food prices than high prices.
