Please keep in mind that the current crafting recipes for the newbuildables are works in progress. Your feedback on the new recipes and the systems/gameplay loops that feed into them will be greatly appreciated as we look at tweaking the relevant numbers.
So far, the economy rework is abysmal. Bunch of contraband removed. Bunch of commodities removed. Some trade routes are gone. Some factions lost their unique cargo that made some of activity.
On top of that, I find it hilarious how person (@Petitioner) in economy team, brought back trading faction (https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...tid=137020), and the main commodity (Light Arms) of it is unaffected (https://i.imgur.com/YYI2uWa.png). In the meantime, despite my pleas to not merge Ageira White Boxes and EFL Blue Packs, they merged it and the trade routes are pretty much nonexistent (https://i.imgur.com/pGDCQQW.png and https://i.imgur.com/qQJQvqI.png). Absolutely disgusting suspicion that this is not a coincidence but self-serving change. And before someone goes on accusing me of something, I don't care if DM- is successful and active (that's great, activity for Disco is good), but these changes ruining trading activities for other factions is just horrible.
Ageira lost Ageira White Boxes and a bunch of trade routes.
EFL lost EFL Blue Packs and ALL trade routes.
Lane Hackers lost Counterfeit Software.
And many more that I can't even begin to list because I feel furious at people behind economy rework.
I honestly don't understand the intention of screwing up factions who used faction perks or developer requests to get their unique commodities placed for them to have some side activities to do.

Yep, this one really separates the rich from the poor: devaluation means the super-rich no longer have a cap problem and the poor will find it much harder to get rich. There's not going to be much point in trading I reckon.
