Previously NPC countries would sell goods with the market time set to the lowest possible value of 2 hours. That meant that any goods or tech from an NPC country would only remain on the market for 2 hours before returning. This has been changed to the default value of 8 hours. I am hoping that this will stabilize public market prices a bit and will result in fewer instances of a good or tech emptying out, but it is difficult to predict exactly what will happen.

Good call :-)

I choose to believe it will be terrible. That way I can either be happy Im right or happy that it was better than I expected!

This didn't work as planned and NPC countries are currently selling goods with the max market time of 30 hours. I paused the NPCs until a fix is in place.

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!

I was right! Again!

NPCs are now playing turns again and the issue is confirmed to be fixed.

Good work 👍

Market is flooded with cheap goods so far. Is it because of this change? Idk!

I'm not sure either. It might have contributed.

Perhaps goods were too cheap, but I do think there's some value in having cheap goods at the beginning. I want the farmers and cashers to have some kind of incentive to play their turns without saving too many.
