Key Features
- Dynamic Pricing: Uses average prices from all player vendors to determine item values (requires at least 10 items for a valid average).
- Delayed Purchases: Items must be listed for 7 days (adjustable) before the system considers buying, giving players time to purchase first.
- Randomized Buying: 50% chance (configurable) to buy eligible items, adding unpredictability to prevent market manipulation.
- Price Caps: Maximum purchase price of 10,000 gold (adjustable) to keep spending in check.
- Daily Spending Limit: Optional limit (default 10,000,000 gold) to control the system’s daily expenditure.
- Item Deletion: Purchased items are deleted to maintain server performance and prevent clutter.
- Staff Vendor Control: Staff can place vendors named “Marker” (configurable) to influence market averages without items being purchased. Recommended to place in hidden areas like Green Acres.
- Modifiers for Special Items:
- Crafted Resources: Adjusts prices based on resource type (e.g., Valorite, Barbed Leather).
- Item Quality: Accounts for Low, Normal, or Exceptional quality.
- Artifacts: Supports rarity-based pricing for artifacts.
- Free Item Handling: Option to destroy free items with a configurable chance, preventing market flooding.
- Price Logging: Use the [ABLOG command to export a PriceTrackerLog.txt file with all items and their average costs.
- Persistent Data: Market averages and daily limit state are saved across server restarts for a consistent economy.
- Console Feedback: Color-coded console messages for easy monitoring of system activity.
Customization
All settings are centralized in Settings.cs, allowing easy tweaks to:
- Purchase delays, chances, and price buffers.
- Daily spending limits and maximum purchase prices.
- Support for artifacts, quality, resources, and free item destruction.
