Adapted Economy

An adaptation of the economy system to allow for more thorough and complicated play styles than what the default Keen economy system allows for.

Have you ever wanted to include the economy system in your playthrough, but felt it was lacking in options or felt too restrictive? What about doing an economy only playthrough? These options are now available to you through Adapted Economy! Compatible with most existing mods, Adapted Economy was designed to allow for economy features to be included in your game, without detracting from other mods or playstyles.

The following changes have been made to the default Economy settings:

• Datapads have been added to all three station types - now you can find your next station regardless of station type!
  
• Reduced the max number of Datapads that can be spawned per station from 12 to 3.
  
• items to be bought or sold at stations have been revamped - you can now buy items like ice, or tier 2/3 components.
  
• Oxygen and Hydrogen are now also purchasable at all station types.
  
• Station spawn distanced has been halved - stations should spawn closer to allow for better trade routes.

• Upgrade your existing ship or drop pod by completing missions in the contract blocks at stations, gaining space credits, and purchasing components needed for additional blocks!
  
• Try a playthrough consisting of only purchased ships and vehicles from builder merchants!
  
• Try a Rover only playthrough!
  
• In your world settings turn down refinery speed and assembler speed to change the focus on trading for resources rather than mining!

Unfortunately, due to the way Keen Software House has implemented the Economy system, many options are either hardcoded or not exposed in the ModAPI to allow for editing. I've done the best I can with whats been given by the developers and my own knowledge of the engine - Keen if you're reading this then reach out to me to collaborate :)
