How can i change prices?

[TonyMax.Fr]

These (merchant) prices are too expensive !
I know where to change price of fuel and propane, but the merchant ones, i can't?
Please help. Too hard for a solo game when we don't have a vehicle yet.

Well, really, without vehicles, this game is very bad in all points... even in solo.

Use Windows button+R, and then paste %localappdata%\scum\saved\config\WindowsNoEditor

There, you will be able to find the file named EconomyOverride.json

You can help yourself by using this helpful tool - https://trader.scum-global.com/
This is a user friendly tool where you can modify the prices for certain items and then generate a new json file that you can then use in the game.

It's user friendly but it requires some playing around with. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out how it works, once I got it I realised it was pretty easy.

I just wanted to half all the prices. I can't do that with less than 10 minutes... Yes, i call that not easy, sorry ^^

I don't understand. I tryed to change the price with the tool but it changes nothing.
I think i have to change this line :
"prices-subject-to-player-count": "1",
But why only one line? Why there's not a "buying" and a "selling" price line?
It's not 1.0 so it's mean it's an option, not a multipier. 0.5 won't work, right?
I'm lost...
I only want to half selling prices for every NPCs...

Don't tell me i have to put a line for each items of each NPC.
"user friendly" they say...

When I said it was user friendly I was actually referring to using it as a reference for checking trader buy/sell prices, not to use it to change the prices themselves. That was my bad. Sorry that you're finding it difficult. It's probably not that user friendly. I can't help since I've never used it for that purpose but "1.0" definitely means "true" in computer speak.

I recommend checkingout this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emF2wLX0-HU
Should help you with setting up the economy

Clearly outdated but thanks. (many new options are not described)

But at least, now i know it's not the selling price i want to change, but the buying price. (who did that for the merchant point of view? it has no sense...)
