Notes
- Omnicorp Buying price is the price at which omnicorp buys stuff from you. So it's the price you sell them to them.
- Bats are not unlocked, this is voluntary, please don't ask for it. Use "Expert mode" for bat unlocking.
- Thanks to nashville nelson and Andre090904 for the german translations.
- For those who requested it, I tried to make the "ressource sandbox" part of this mod togglable thru menu, but unfortunately, the game seems to load them only once when loading the city, so it's not dynamically changeable.

- Bats are not unlocked, this is voluntary. Use "Expert mode" for bat unlocking.

And what is about the specialising Buildings? The Shell Building for example?

And I think this mod will be great for testing purposes.

Thoughts?

The website has changed provider yesterday. It seems that it has not (or not yet) imported old files.

I'll wait to have more infos about that from andre to know if I need to reupload or if it's gonna be imported...
During the wait, you can use the "french" link or get it @simtropolis, the mod is the same and won't affect it's language.

[Moaku]

link fixed to "new format". i'll fix my other mods later.

[mr-tom]

Perfect - thanks!

I played with your sandbox but when it came to import it said I don't have enough money.
I don't see why it's not enough when I have 500 millions from your cheat.

Is there something wrong with my city or from the mod?
 

[Moaku]

nah, just something wrong  in how you understand the trade mechanics...

Importing with omnicorp requires that you have enough CASHFLOW, money is not important to validate the trade.. so if you do +2000 each turn and that the thing you want to import costs 3000, you will not be able to buy it.

So you just need to first boost a bit your cashflow... to do so, you may eventually export a few tokens (You may change import/export prices with that mod too if needed)

[mrdazza_460]

Is there any way to change that, so you can trade when you have “capital”, but not income,  it seems rather stupid that you can’t spend your way out of trouble, It really annoys me, that’s why you have cash reserves.
You spend money to make money,
It better to save money for a rainy day
I could go on, and on…. 
   

also Considering that’s what 90% of the governments have been doing for the last year or so to get them out the “big fat hole” they are in   

[Moaku]

I didn't checked, but it's probably possible, since many parts of the trading engine is scripted... but I can't guarantee it yet...

Anyway, with the rest of the sandbox features, you should not require to trade and can easyly get your cashflow positive...
Anyway i'll have a look around this for next version.


Next version will also feature the possibility of choosing to play with or without the resource sandboxing (that was requested before). As I previously replyed, it's something that is loaded only once, so it's not dynamically changeable thru the menu... but i'll add a button in the MAIN menu, so you'll have "Play" and "Play with res sandbox" options, and will have to quit the game if you want to switch beteen "with or without" res sandbox enabled... not perfect, but this still gives a choice, so everything will be "togglable" in this mod in next version, even if not necessary during game
I think i'll release it in the middle of the week, so I have time to check if I see something to do about your "trade validation conditions" request.

It's rather sad  to hear from you that trade requires positive cashflow more than import price.
My city cashflow is -300,000 and there's no way I can make it positive If I still maintain its theme.

I build this city with public building, leisure place and park everywhere with minimum tax rate from
only 30k population. Certainly without a sandbox I can not do this. At this point, when I try to
balance things, I need garbage. BUT I don't want to have garbage dump in the city (such a sight is totally unacceptable for people here) so I have to import it and all the problem arise...
Now, even a sandbox can't help.

Unfortunately, your specific trade price is set to the maximum of 125.
If I can set it at will, the export price will be 1,000,000 a token and my city will thrive again.

OK, I'll stop at 30K population for this city and wait for your next version 
Thank again for the sandbox, it really makes the game much more fun.

[Herdervriend]

This mod is really working nice:)

[Moaku]

@rujagorn:
Maximum Specific (also applies to "global") omnicorp (both buy and sell) prices are 200.
You can set it to any value from 25 to 200 by steps of 25. If your menu don't show them all, please report it, but should not be the case.

However, I can't help you more before PO ends, until that, try balancing your cashflow with buying things 25 and selling them 200, should do the trick... When PO ends, who knows ? Maybe some new features will come to this mod since after 8th march I'll have no more reasons of not including them

[kankrelune]

Hi... many thanks for this very powerfull and usefull mod... and sorry for my bad english... .. . 

With the PO end you save the market... .. .

If i can... i have 2 suggestions...

- had some new low price for the market... the top is a range 20/25/30/35/40/45/50 but 25/30/40/50 is good to... 25 and 50 is so short for made a realistic PO market price reproduction

- had posibilities to enable/disable the ressource zoning hack... if i like play with limited ressource zone i can not with the mod

Cheers

@ tchaOo°

edit: a fun idea... create a feature that randomly assigns a price to each resource over a predefined range to mimic a real market (not automatically with a button in the sandbox menu)

[Moaku]

About your suggestions:

For the first one, what would you think of an option to "Change the price multiplier" ?
As it's now, it would be 25, but you could change it to 10, so prices would be 10, 20, 30, ...
I think it's a good solution to your request. I may add that in next version.

Second request is already done in my "Work in progress" version of the mod... so will be fullfilled with the next version of the mod. You'll be able to choose from the main menu between "Play" (as usual) and "Play with res sandbox". This will have to be choosen before playing since it can't be dynamically changed unfortunattly.

Don't know yet when I will release next version, but it should be within the following days.
