Mod goal

• Make Sailwind's economy bigger and more robost, and add risk when trading by adding cargo water damage, price intransparency, NPC trader competition and loans.
• Early game will likely be harder with less price info, more NPC trader to compete, and lack of rain cover on small boat. but do provide you leverage option so you can take the risk to progress.
• This mod didn't solve the late game economy problem that is money too easy to come by, in fact it might be more severe since Larger economy = more goods to sell.

Port Capacity and Port production

• All ports is separate into 4 tiers. Each tier have differenct port capacity, which affect their cargo hold capacity, production speed and demands.
• Bigger the Port Capacity, more trade goods will be available, production/consumption will be faster.
• Tiers assigned as following:
• T1 Port (200 capacity): Gold Rock City, Fort Aestrin, Dragon Cliffs
• T2 Port (150 capacity): Oasis, Happy Bay, Kicia Bay, Chronos
• T3 Port (100 capacity): All other port
• T4 Port (50 capacity): Al'ankh Academy, Alchemist Island, Albacore Town, Aestra Abbey, Sanctuary, On'na
• For reference, Vanilla 3 main cities is at 100 capacity, all other port is 50 capacity)
• Background trader would contribute to port capacity, thus every port will grow in capacity overtime.
• The maximum port capacity they can grow is double the default amount
• All port got their production/demand value redo. Production/consumption is overall much MUCH faster than vanilla. There will be more available goods around, and port consume trade good faster.
