Editing Block Price

[Fac3Value]

Hi all,

I'm looking to make StarMade a more challenging experience. As it is now, it's way too easy to get tons of credits, build a huge ship, and become unstoppable. I know that you can go into the block editor and change a parameter called "price" for each block, but I'm not understanding what that number actually means. I've been messing with it, and there doesn't seem to be a direct relationship or something between the value of "price" and the actual price of the block in shops. Obviously, I know if you up the value, the price increases, and I know the actual price of items in shops factors in the supply of that item available, but is there a basic calculation I can do, some ratio I could mulitply by, so that I could change the value of "price" and get a fairly predictable shop price? Also, if any of you are using modified prices, have you got any balancing suggestions?

Thanks,

Fac3Value

Price is the base value, without any modifications to it from price variance.

It\'s pretty much a very rough estimate of what the price in shops would be right now, while in the past it used to be the exact price.

I think it is kinda lacking that we have no control over how strong the price fluctuation is in the first place, and that there are no separate buy/sell prices (or a multiplier to make the sell price lower than the buy price).
