Ship Sale Price Fix

this still work?

Hey, I think Egosoft snuck in another parameter that affects ship sale price. If I recall correctly there only used to be the shipsalefactor modifier. Now it looks like there is an additional one that influences price based on resource levels.

I am not certain how the new variable affects things. I only noticed it because ships prices seemed off. I am only assuming that it alters the price based on resources. I don't know if you have the old files kicking around, but it might be worth checking. I don't think that new parameter has always been there.

Cheers mate! Works like a dream, and taught me how to do the same process for a bunch of other mods too- you're a legend.

You need to repack the changes you make in the .xml file into your own custom "mod", then load that in the C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\extensions folder. Disable my mod when doing so that way they don't fight it out.

Thanks!

Hi mate, this mod's been amazing, but I've had some trouble changing the .xml file. I've unpacked the .dat file but nothing I do to the parameters .xml file seems to have an effect on the game. Every time I unpack the file and alter the value, it resets to the default even when saved- any clue what I'm doing wrong?

I mean, once you supply all your own resources it's free income, but even with the nerf you still make a 10% profit as long as you aren't buying at max prices. Many other ways to rake in billions per hour if needed (which can be done within the first 4 hours of starting a new game).

That said, I feel Egosoft could have done something different than gimping player sales. Maybe allow factions to search for the best deal. If you set your price to 150%, but PIO is at 140% then TER buys from PIO instead of the player. Idk.

Probably, the most idiotic nerf of all times in this game - to down all ship prices to 30% of real but produce everything for 100% resources. They should have nerf chances of buying, not the price.

Thank you for restoring market balance, @Daddy Shark!

It should. Nothing has changed with the release of Kingdom's End.

does this mod still work?

Works fine, here.
