Grid Worth

Description
HUGE thanks to Klime for really guiding and helping me make my first mod that I've published to the workshop!

Description
This mod is to aid players in buying/selling their grids since Keen doesn't seem to have any plans to add the feature themselves. **Note that this mod doesn't actually add buying/selling ships to the Store Block.**
CHECK THE CHANGE NOTES FOR MORE INFORMATION.

How it Works
When a button is pressed, the script will check if the button's purpose is to update the information on an LCD. This is all done automatically and by the server.

How To Use It
Simply place down an LCD panel (can be any kind) and rename it to "SellLCD" and change it to text mode. As a lister, you can display your own price and the state that the grid is currently in (ex: for sale, idle, etc). To input these descriptions, go into the "Custom Data" and change the first line to the state of your grid (can be anything). To input your listing price, add a description on the second line (ex: 8mil Space Credits, 20 small grid ships, 5 uranium ingots, etc). Now in order for this information to be displayed, you will need a button on it. Name the button bock to "ToggleSellLCD". It doesn't matter which button you rename it to or however many you have. Be sure the button does have a function otherwise the script will not run. Each time you press the button, the information will be automatically updated and displayed on the LCD. That's it! Once you are done with the LCD, you can destroy it!

The Displayed Information
This mod uses a lot of math to check the worth of different ores/ingots/components. It will use this information to give a general idea to players how much the grid is really worth. Right now there is only a minimum worth, average worth, and maximum worth that is displayed.

The old mod in case you like having the script constantly scan all grids every second for some reason

Future Plans
-Include unique ores/ingots/components worth for min,avg, and max
-Custom UI(display ship stats)
-Easy ownership transfer
-~~Optimizations~~

If you know there's a better mod out there, do you have any links? Because I can't find any

Hi, can re-upload this beautiful mod to https://spaceengineers.mod.io in order to use it on the crossplay server? I will definitely add a link to the this page.

I have not updated this mod in a veryyy long time so I'm not aware of any prices. There should be better mods out there that calculate grid worth better than mine (I think).

The Mod shows wrong prizes. We have a store block prize for Steel plates of 3774 SC, but the mod calculates it for 250 SC. Ingot prize should be 3066 SC but is 210 SC. There are no usable values.
Has noone else checked the prizes? Or did I miss something?

Sure thing.
