stone value bugged?
« on: April 01, 2012, 06:18:02 am »
so all basic stones I find have a value of 3, currently phyllite, jet, claystone, etc that are marked as value 1 in the wiki. Game is not modded in any way apart from a few adjustments in the init and d_init file. Is this a bug? I don't really mind and it doesn't change to much gameplay wise.

The value of 1 in the inorganic raws is their material multiplier. The total value of an item consists of at least two things multiplied together: Material multiplier X Base item value. In this case, the base value for stones is 3, so 1 X 3 is 3. Slightly more valuable stones like fluxes and basic ores are worth more, they have a material multiplier of 2 or more, resulting in values that are multiples of three.

Check the value page on the wiki for much more information.
