By adding non-static paystands and paystand signallers you've done more to improve economy code than goof has since it was introduced.

Goof was paid to make goofconomy, not maintain it. You should probably be getting upset at Beesting here considering he paid for it. I'm just taking advantage of the fact this is an open-source game to fix issues I have with it.

Re: Economy System Feedback Thread
The RnD budget is enormous compared to other departments'. If anyone from cargo gets their hands on the card, they can order 10+ null crates easily over the course of a round.

Budget cards need to go. Give control over budgets to the HoP from a static console like goonstation. Make an announcement if the pay budgets get depleted so people know to lynch the HoP or strike due to lack of pay if they decide to spend the station's budget on corgi crates.

That's pretty good. The only budget card that seems to have any use anyways is the CE's and the Hops.Dr_bee wrote:Budget cards need to go.

The hops mainly because everything in Hydroponics is so expensive. So you got to get a loan if you want anything good.
The CE for different Engine Rigs.
Everything else can go suck it.
Tldr: If the hop doesn't give me money as a botanist, I rob the clown or I rob the HoP

"Just lynch the HoP lol" doesn't work, the crew will be happy to have infinite guns and null crates, and there won't be any pay cuts: as I said before, you can deplete the research budget as soon as it refills and it will still refill with enough credits to pay everyone in science. Not to mention that money is still useless outside of cargo so no one would even care about having no pay as long they can get their shotgun crate.

Limit the resources. Make research points worth significantly less dosh, possibly 1/100th of a dosh so you end up with around 300 credits a minute passive generation to the RnD budget. Make removing dosh from the RnD budget remove points, and spending points remove dosh.
Payroll budget goes from department based to just station based. 3 budgets, cargo, payroll, science. all fighting for the same resources, with cargo and science being the only generators, and cargo being the most effective generator.
Engineering and sec budget should be removed. Cargo is supposed to hold the power of the purse so to speak when it comes to supplies, and giving other departments the ability to circumvent their budget restriction removes a lot of their power. Sure you will find QMs who blow the entire budget on guns, but they will probably be deposed by the rest of the station getting stupidly pissed at them.
Dont try to re-invent the wheel.

Exactly what I was using as inspiration. Generates some internal conflict among the station even without an antag being thrown into the mix.somerandomguy wrote: make adding money to the rnd budget add points too so that (similar to goon genetics) you can spend points to speed up research
I would suggest adding some more desirable stuff to cargo if you go this route however, as RnD is too good compared to cargo at the moment.

Ok, pulling this back on topic. Is there anyone currently working on economy? Someone we could pull in and spitball some ideas and maybe get a plan and timeframe for changes? We really shouldn't let this linger in its current unfinished state.

Re: Economy System Feedback Thread
I'd like to see some limitations on what you can buy from cargo based on access. Like not being able to buy weapons unless the captain or HOS swipes their card. It could be coded to lift or loosen that restriction if the station is on red alert. Most of the things that are bad in economy are just unpolished and janky because the feature isn't finished, but the big issue that's having a major impact on game balance is the RD being able to buy 2 shotguns per crewman really early with nothing to stop him.

Re: Economy System Feedback Thread
I dunno what you're changing but my idea for budgets is that R&D's income should get distributed to all departments. The fluff is that the station exists to do research. Every job facilitates that goal by providing services for R&D or by just keeping the station running. Doctors heal scientists, the clown entertains them, cargo orders shit for everyone, engineering patches holes when toxins blows up and generates power, the chef makes food for them, Sec keeps hooligans from wrecking science. Everyone/department should get bonuses based on how well R&D is doing instead of R&D getting 100% of it. R&D can't do science if there's no air or power, they starve to death, and 15 greyshirts mug them and take their toys.

Dunno the exact changes and I haven't played a lot in the last week but when I did play I didn't see gun cargo going out of control at round start like 3/4 of rounds had been. Sci budget fix must be working so far.

A video guide would be absolutely wonderful. Although it would mean oranges would have to deal with more shitcode.
