graphs for market prices?

[hifiguyy]

Hey just wondering if there is a way to enable tracking of the market prices with this and maybe see who is buying/selling (if the AI does that lol).

Cheers.

Hi @hifiguyy , I tried to do this once, but the way market prices are encoded in the save files is not very obvious and at the time I did not have the patience to figure it out last time I looked into it.

Hi, I've looked into it and I think it is encoded as follow :

• fluctuations describe how much each ressource deviate from it's normal price by following this formula
  • actual_price = base_price(1+fluctuation/100)(1+- market_fee)
  • acording to the wiki, the maximum and minimum fluctuation should be 400 and -80
  • the ressources are in the order stated bellow
• galactic_market_resources describes resources that are currently available in the galactic market in this order
  • I don't know and probably not available
  • Energy credit
  • Minerals
  • Food
  • I don't know and probably not available
  • I don't know and probably not available
  • I don't know and probably not available
  • I don't know and probably not available
  • I don't know and probably not available
  • Consumer Goods
  • Alloys
  • Volatile motes
  • Exotic gases
  • Rare crystals
  • Living metal
  • Zro
  • Dark matter
• I haven't checked what how the things look before the galactic market is created

I think that should be enough to implement a graph that track the price of each resources but I haven't really looked into how the dashboard work and I'm lazy so if someone wants to implement it, it would be cool.
