Marketplace Math looks off

When buying resources, If I buy only 1, price seems OK.  As I increase the amount I buy, the error gets crazy.

e.g. I got alert for price crash on Dustcidious Trees, market price set at 4

PriceQuantityin game Total
414
41038
41002.8k
450073.9k



If there's a transaction fee.. maybe it should be listed.  Perhaps it's also updating the price per unit bought, putting the total cost on a curve upward.


Love the game, keep it up.

Hi Heepos !


Price increases per buy. When you ask to buy a batch of resources, the price takes into account this upward curve.

There's also a base transaction cost of 10% - this is to make sure spam buying / selling isn't exploitable to create dust out of nowhere.


The error between quantity 1 & 10 is probably because the price actually is something around "3.5", and is rounded up to 4 ; but when you buy 10, you get a slight increase from 35 to 38. 


I'd be interested to have a save though to check if there's nothing wrong with the marketplace otherwise.


We'll look into making all this clearer for players. Thanks for bringing this up!


Cheers,
