I play Krastorio + Space Exploration (plus a bunch of minor mods) and BM2 fits quite well as an idea but my problem is that I can easily... sell batteries and using income just continuously purchase iron, copper and crude oil to keep me producing more batteries with some extreme profit. Right now it feels like a cheat coz I don't even need mines when I can just auto-buy base resources and sell mid-game ones for infinite profit.
At the same time we all know the philosophy of numerous RPG games is that you almost never sell for profit. U sell junk in order to buy useful stuff but u are always at a loosing side when it comes to profits. Well coz it usually takes 100 gold to buy a sword and the you sell it for like 5 gold.
Unfair? Maybe. But at least it's not breaking the game balance when I sell lotsa useless stuff (read "surplus") to get small quantities of something that matter here and now.
Now the mod actually supports it all and I believe the idea is just to tweak taxes properly. If I get 90% tax on every sell and same on every purchase then my goal would be reached.
Sad thing is that when I change taxes mid-game (single-player) - nothing happens. I can disable taxes for good but I cannot change their values.
2 requests:
1. Please fix taxes in map settings
2. Please add separate purchase and sell taxes
Version of BM2 mod used: 2.0.3
