Can't buy food

[ArmedGhost-]

Okay. I am a fairly new player, but I have around 900 in game dollars and I am trying to buy some food from the general goods trader, but every time I got to buy the item I get an error saying that the item costs more than what I have which isn't the case.

I am trying to buy an apple for $40 and am getting this error with $900 cash.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

To purchase certain items, you will need fame points as well, it depends on their rarity and how much you will need.

meh i still see that as a double down, why am I gaining cash if I get limited by fame?

Could you maybe add some kind of indicator how much fame you need to buy a certain item?

And that right there is one reason why the whole fame to buy things is stupid if you don't also include an indicator for how much you need.

Fame-Points to purchase items, seems like a drunken dev(s) night out decision.

Sorry but, when I have a character on a server with over 60K, and I'm refused buying a simple baseball bat, something is wrong.

Your FP purchasing agenda, i get, but.. why have money then ? money is worthless IF you don't enough FP, and vice versa.. ?? Right ?? Use one or the other, not both. Then the masses will calm down, myself included, about this horrid economy system you've implemented.

../daily rant over, you may continue your regularly scheduled SCUM viewing

honestly, just read the thread slowly and think about it, if we want to kill the player base its right here.

Also make sure you're paying with cash and not on credit. there's a radio box down the bottom near the cart button that lets you select which account you're using.

If you have 60k, you should have enough FP.

It will be added in the future, we need a whole new UI for that.

How much famepoints you need to buy something will definitely be changed a bit, it's a bit too much for certain items right now.

The idea was: since it is a purely survival game, when you "buy" things to help yourself you lose famepoints as you didn't gather it yourself, but it's definitely not good that you need 50 famepoints to buy a banana. So it will definitely be changed.
