New vehicle pricing formulas Mod

New vehicle pricing formulas Mod

This mod tries to replicate the vehicle pricing formula used by the game, with some useful features added.
Right now it only supports Trains, Wagons, Buses/Trucks, and Trams.
** Note, sometimes the price is apparently way off from vanilla, but the real difference is in the range 0-5% affecting more the extremes of the various parameters. **
** One slight issue comes with the multi-unit trains where the difference can be as high as 10%, but that depends on how the multi-units prices are calculated and there’s not much I can do without having the UG formula in my hands.**
The new features add tweacking variables to the price, editing the mod.lua (Located in “steamappsworkshopcontent4468001977538184”):
* Too expensive? Apply discounts by changing the “*discount” variables
* Using a capacity multiplier mod? Increase the “capdis” variables to allow you to suffer less or no extra charges for those extra cargo slots
* Using a mod that maxes out Wagon speeds? Increase the “spddis” variable, and prices are relaxed
This mod should apply these calculations to any modded vehicles you’ve added, unless the modder set a stated price – however, this mod may need to be last on the list to do so
Some examples:

Feedback and bug reports welcome, feel free to offer suggestions and ideas,
Many thanks to LTDX for the capacity calculation (I would never find that value without your smart math).
