2020 Mining Overhaul, Phase 1: Price and Sellpoint Adjustments

[Karlotta]

Yellow squares are the buyers. Colored circles are systems containing mining fields, which then lead along their quickest route to their two buyers, grouped into regions.

Dark Blue, Taus source (Molybdenum, Niobium, Raw Hydrocarbons) -> Rheinland, Omicrons

Light Blue, Sigmas source (Helium-3, Uranium, Aluminum, Platinum) -> Liberty, Bretonia

Grey, Liberty source (Military Salvage, Premium Scrap, Copper) -> Gallia, Omicrons

Red, Bretonia source (Gold) -> Kusari, Rheinland

Diarrhea brown, Omegas source (Uncut Diamonds, Cobalt, Silver) -> Gallia, Kusari

Dark Green, Omicrons source (Iridium) -> Liberty, Bretonia

It does not show the routes for Xeno Relics or Azurite Gas (since they go to all houses), and it also does not consider fences, in the cases in which they are not in the capital system, where the main buyers are. Including those would totally overload the map.

Good job posting a picture without saying what it shows.

I didnt study the details closely yet (mainly because of the reason above and I needed a legend that is useful), I see a few problems:

- Omicron Gamma, a system that is supposed to be secret not too long ago and home to a pirate fatcion, is a travel highway for 2 things

- Routes that lead through empty jh-only access systems when they could lead through tradelane highway systems (for example leading through kansas and vespucci instead of Cortez California, and omega 5 omega 41 instead of o7 stuttgart)

- Why are there 0 ore routes that lead through the liberty-bretonia tradelane highway???

- Routes that lead through leeds, when leeds supposed to be a neuclear wasteland or sometihng

Overall, routes still need to be around fewer highways. Also, more sell points is good, not bad. You can have as many sell points as you like, as long as they lead players along the same route(s). Having acquired something only to find out you dont have a place to sell it, or very few options to sell, it, is frustrating. That goes also for non ore commodities. Its better to have fewer commodities and more places to sell them at.
