Dynamic economy Mod

Dynamic economy Mod Mod adds a dynamic trading system with local price multipliers, adaptive traders (caravans and orbital ships), and an optional brain mining mechanic that produces trade-only currency.

Dynamic economy Mod Features

Trade caravan changes

• Prices adapt to your buying and selling: selling lots of an item lowers future offer prices, while buying in bulk increases supply and adjusts future prices.
• Traders can bring more of what you recently bought and sell it with a smaller markup than usual.
• Trade caravans bring more silver when your trade turnover is high.
• Price multipliers gradually return to normal over time.

Trading with settlements

• Settlement multipliers are tracked separately from caravan multipliers, making player caravans useful to avoid extreme price margins.
• Regional economy differences: some regions raise/lower prices for certain categories (example: buy steel in mountains, sell food in deserts).
• Use the comms console with a pawn that has high negotiation to gather market info; if you’re lucky, a nearby settlement temporarily changes prices for a category.

Trade ships

• Orbital traders use randomized pricing (configurable), representing non-local markets.

Brain mining

• After bionics research, craft a psicoin miner implant that uses a pawn’s brain to generate psicoin chips.
• Only pawns you control produce psicoins; enslave prisoners before installing the implant.
• Psicoins are sell-only currency with a price that fluctuates randomly about every hour.

Economy rules and balancing

• Purchase multipliers are separate from sale multipliers (a low selling multiplier does not reduce your buying price).
• Factor growth is linear; factor drop is geometrical/exponential. Both are configurable.

Standalone options

• Standalone brain mining version.
• Version without miners, if you don’t want psicoins.

Compatibility notes

• Should be savegame compatible.
• Removing mid-save: only the version without miners avoids issues beyond red log errors.
• Some modded items may not affect price categories correctly (example: buying a modded weapon may not influence other weapon prices).

Languages

• English.
• Russian.
• French (by qux).
