How about a trading tool?


Recommended Posts

I've been doing a little bit of trading recently and found I was spending a lot of time calculating how much rez I could trade for how much other rez. So after a couple of these trades, I decided to create an Excel spreadsheet where I could simply input the agreed upon trade ratio and the respective amount(s) and determine very quickly what I could trade for. I also added a quick calculator to determine the number of cargos necessary to transport the traded resources.

 

I offer this spreadsheet to whoever would like to beta-test it. Simply PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send it along to you. Any and all suggestions for improvement are welcome.

With a hearty thanks to Gintukas, I've updated and improved the trading tool. Please let me know if you want a copy of the excel spreadsheet and I'll e-mail it to you.

 

Improvements:

 

Fixed a minor formula error /blush

Added the ability to calculate a percentage-based mixed resource trade (I.e., If you have 1,000,000 crystal to trade and want 35% metal and 65% deut you can now easily figure how much to expect in return.)

Added cargo space estimators for outgoing and incoming small and large cargo ships

Made some asthetic changes

 

I hope you find it helpful...
