Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2022 8:38 am
Working in collaboration with Piermario, the author of the RealWorld MOD, we have fine-tuned the profitability of a number of products in RealWorld MOD version 12.0.
RealWorld MOD version 12.0 is currently available via the Auto MOD downloader in version 8.1.x which can be downloaded from viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8844
Fine-tuning Method
If you are interested in the method we used for the fine-tuning, here are the details:
We used the following tool to check the profitability of all products in RealWorld mod and fine-tune them when necessary. viewtopic.php?f=39&t=8260
The tool revealed that many products need gameplay balance improvements. Thus, I increased the PRICE and DEMAND of those products in Product_Types.DBF accordingly.
We also increased the Output Quantity (“OQTY” field) of the products in METHOD.DBF to increase the production output for some products. This will decrease the cost per unit, making the product more profitable.
