Market fluctuations (warning, contains spoilers for one of the endings and a few mechanics you might not have realised exist)

[Mkkt Bkkt]

So it seems the game decided it hates me.
Upon getting the intestines achievement by buying over 30 large ones to fulfill the largest hull with them, I decided to do as many quest requests as I can to see as many endings as I can in this playthrough, and in process of earning a few endings and continuing, significantly decreased my wealth.

In that process I had started up a farm with souls, but market nosedove 3 times in a week, leaving mythic brains priced at 2k while I bought them at 8+, with intention of selling at 15+. No problem, I thought, and decided to wait for a bit.

To my dismay, Harvester One came in and had a chat with me. And another. And one more. And another to top it all off, leaving me at negative 120k balance with a hull full of cheapo organs and no feasible path to recovery apart from waiting

Having the inventory full of bones and brains surrounded by souls, my logic was that I could probably get to positive balance if I wait long enough.
Drumroll, please...

Market stagnation. Everything is priced at 0
Now granted, I can buy shares (which is exactly what I did), but it is a bit funny that for the past ~20-30 game days out of my 87 days playthrough so far, I had not done a single trade

would sell my organs that I don't use for 150k again.



Edit #1:
2 days later:
On a distant huskworld, millions die in a single, mysterious night — leaving their organs intact! The market rejoices and asks no questions.

Edit #2:
Not a day later. Famine strikes along the Ringed Byways, reducing the condition of the organs left behind. The market crashes!
1 day later I become target for Harvester One again.
