I could use a few volunteers to work on a relatively small project for the economy in the next mod version.
As you know, guard bases do not have commodities for sale or purchase but it makes sense for them to at least be purchasing Food Rations, Oxygen, and Water. It's a relatively simple process to add price points for them, but getting the data is fairly tedious and time consuming. So I am asking for a few people to supply me with the data that is needed to accomplish this.
You will need to have access to google docs, which you can get by registering at google.com. I will give a few people access to a spreadsheet created for this project. Here is what you will need to do :
The spreadsheet will list all of the guard bases in column A.
1. In column B you will add the name of the base (that has a price for Food, Oxygen, and Water) that is closest to the base in column A. The column B base will obviously be outside the guard system, but probably is in the system right next to the guard system.
2. In columns C,D, & E, you will put in the price that the base in column B has for Food, Oxygen, and Water (each column will be labeled already).
The program FLStat is probably the most helpful one for getting the data that you'll need.
And that's basically it. I'm not going to deal with travel times since none of these commodities are really used for trading anyway. We just need the prices to be similar to the prices outside of the guard system. I will adjust them to be slightly higher later.
If you are willing to work on this, post here. Its a tedious chore, but a few people working together (and checking each other's work) could finish it pretty quickly.
