Inflation is keep rising

[TheGoodBoy]

I recently made a game where im close to the year 2000 now all is going great, except inflation the prices keep rising and rising some seem to have incrised by 6 to maybe even 10 times this isn´t a real problem since im stacked in cash tho even selling which should reduce the price doesn´t work i sold steel since the beginning allot too and it doesn´t seem to help any the price is still going, also even if iron ore is becoming cheaper from a event it literly does noting to the steel price.

is this normal?

It is normal. In reality too, currency rarely keeps a constant value. Eventually the game will prompt you with the option to increase the value of your currency; "cut all prices by 100" (it also cuts your treasury by 100).

Yep, and it'll keep going up. Although it's a bit silly. Perhaps flawed programming since it's not based on an artificially created supply/demand economy. Logistically the prices should fluctuate based on your imports and exports so players would have to plan when and how much to import and export.

At year 2000 my 1635t steel export trains where worth over 600mil. T613s where worth over 3million each to export and some workshop cars where worth over 25mil each to export.

Year 2012 now and those same steel trains are worth over 5 billion. T613s are worth 24mil to export and some workshop cars have climbed to almost 200mil each.

After 40 years of inflation its very hard to change price with massive trade.

Realistic mode should use realistic prices.

A quick Google search says:
In the observation period from 1960 to 2021, the average inflation rate was 2.6% per year. Overall, the price increase during this period was 381.98%. An item that cost 100 euros in 1960 was therefore priced at 481.98 euros at the beginning of 2022.

Yeah now we need realistic economy update. Export in high price year and import or store in low price year.

Exponential increase, almost 3 more years passed since my earlier post and those 1635t steel trains climbed from 5bil to being worth over 10bil.

Those workshop vehicles worth 200mil are now worth over 430mil

doesn#t even need to be that realitic, just make prices either more fluctuate or just more demand/production update when i solld 10s of 100s of tuns a month of steel since the basic baginning than make the price go down allot. Inflation shouldn#t be that bad, also the aparetly "reactionabl economy" that if iron ore is cheaper steel will also be chaeper isn´t working bec every product is getting more expansive that means that everything is getting 2 times as expaniseve bec the item befor also does, but when it gets cheaper the other items basicly doesn´t get cheaper.

how can i do it?

It's in the cheat menu. Save before you do it as people have reported issues.
I wish the ruble prices would just eventually cap at some multiple (20x? 50x? 100x?) of the dollar value instead of continuing to outpace the dollar forever. Right now if you use the "divide prices by 100" option to keep ruble values from overflowing, eventually dollar values will be absurdly small.
