Active regional journeys

Regional price spreads

These are local controlled-market prices. A spread is an opportunity only when the actor knows both systems and the landed route cost is profitable.

Exploration, survey & development history

Regional construction projects

Physical site inventories and ordinary competitive freight. No facility operates until construction completes. The service component pays the existing System Reserve; unused budget returns to the owner.

Regional development decisions · investment audit

Newest reviews expose the economics behind rejected and approved opportunities. Expected 30d revenue is a diagnostic opportunity proxy (current demand-system price × the larger of current unmet demand or recent 30d sales, capped by deposit remaining), not a guaranteed profit forecast. Rows created before SIM-1.2a show — for the new cost fields.

Authority fiscal & macroeconomic layer

The Authority is funded from the existing monetary supply. Private commodity purchases and freight services pay a configurable commerce levy; procurement spends real treasury funds and acquires physical stock.

SLOWDOWN · Thirty-day regional commercial or industrial activity is below normal.

Authority strategic reserves

These are physical operational reserves. They are intended for future fleet, infrastructure and emergency consumption; recessionary conditions only influence when replenishment is attractive.

Authority procurement

Freight concentration

Competitive columns count only jobs created by the corrected SIM-0.3.1 selector; all-time includes legacy 0.2/0.3 history.

Recent freight

Local commodity markets

Economic trend · last 30 simulated days

Rolling local market-cycle history for equilibrium testing.

Derived demand · local bottlenecks

Demand is partitioned by system; remote stock does not satisfy a local shortage until freight completes.

Local producer expectations

Target stock is a system-local working buffer, not a global instruction.

Standing purchase requirements

These requirements persist between NPC decisions. Upstream producers can therefore see unsatisfied demand even when the buyer is not currently taking a turn.

NPC economy

Operating net worth excludes unmined deposits. The reserve indicator is shown separately at a deliberately conservative 2% of spot value.
