EV Bible text
The following information was transcribed from the Nova Bible, ©1995-2006 by Matt Burch. The original document can be viewed here.
Oops resources contain info on planetary disasters. Actually, the term “disasters” is a misnomer, as these occurrences simply affect the price of a single commodity at a planet or station, for good or bad. Nova uses the name of the resource in the commodity exchange dialog box to indicate that a disaster is currently going on at a planet. The fields of an oops resource are:
Stellar[]
The stellar object this disaster is linked to
- 128-2175: ID of a stellar object
- -1: Any planet or station (use sparingly)
Commodity[]
Which commodity to affect the price of (0 = food, 1 = industrial, etc.)
PriceDelta[]
How much to raise or lower the price. (negative numbers lower it)
Duration[]
How many days the disaster lasts.
Freq[]
Percent chance per day that the disaster will occur.
ActivateOn[]
Control bit test expression. Leave blank if unused.
