Economy

Placeholder section

Prototype shows structure only. Pages to be filled after approval.

Core abstractions

• Ware — the economic primitive (silicon, energycells, smartchips, etc.).
• Trade offer — buy/sell offer attached to a station for a specific ware.
• Trade subscription — player-subscribed trade information stream.
• Inventory / Cargo — what an object carries.

Common questions (planned)

• “How do I add ware to a ship’s cargo?” → Cargo → Actions → <add_cargo> / <add_ammo> for ammo-types.
• “How do I read price of a buy offer?” → Trade offer → Properties → .price.
• “How do I find all stations selling ware X?” → Ware → Actions → find_sell_offer chain.
• “How do I handle ware references — string vs wareref?” → Ware → Gotchas (add_inventory needs ware.{$string}).
