Can we edit / modify blueprints?

[akeelah]

Is there a way to edit the resource and time requirements for existing blueprints? I was hoping modify the Jump Beacon blueprint to make it much more expensive & time consuming to produce at the PHQ.

I hoping for something simple like a TBlueprints file in the types folder, but alas no joy.

The file you are looking for is types/hq.xml

Ah, perfect! Thank you.

But as always, one question leads to another and so on.

Now I need to know where the average prices are stored for ships, stations, and wares. No doubt it's embarrassingly obvious, but I'm here humbly asking anyway.

The connection between the average price as seen in-game and the NPC Rel. Value and/or Player Rel. Value found in the T files eludes me.

If I'm not mistaken, the RelValue is multiplied by a factor depending on the ware to get the final result (before adjustments for demand/excess). From my notes, it should be:

'TWareE' : 4,
'TWareB' : 5.33,
'TWareM' : 5.33,
'TWareN' : 4,
'TWareF' : 12,
'TWareT' : 28,
'TMissiles' : 28,
'TLaser' : 64.9,
'TShields' : 64.9,
'TShips' : 50,
'TFactories' : 64.9,

Thank you.

I came up with basically the same thing through experimentation, though I haven't yet tested every ware type.

For the record, TShips appears to use the 64.9 value, not 50. Again I haven't tested EVERY ship, but the handful I did test used 64.9 something.
