How to View

In Data Mode, you can check the real-time market price of every item in the game. These prices change dynamically based on player actions and are a key reference for resource trading and strategic planning.

Pricing Mechanism

All in-game item prices are determined by an automated dynamic pricing system, based on the principle of a constant product formula:

Every item is paired with game currency ($) in a trading pool.

Each pool follows the formula: x × y = k

Where:

• x = Quantity of the item in the pool

• y = Amount of game currency in the pool

• k = Constant (the fixed value of the pool)

This means:

• The scarcer an item becomes, the higher its price.

• The more an item is sold into the pool, the lower its price.

Price Trend Index

For each category of items (food and non-food), every item has an initial price P0,i and a current P1,i. Let (n) be the number of item types.

Price change multiplier for a single item:

Food inflation rate (geometric mean):

Non-food inflation rate (geometric mean):

Overall price trend index (weighted arithmetic mean):

Impact Chip prices, wages, healthcare costs, and education costs will all change in response to movements in the overall price trend index.
