Why is this STILL a bug?

Economy discrepancy between SYSTEM MAP and COMMODITIES MARKET. They are ALWAYS the opposite way round. This has been a problem since BETA



Does it matter? As in, is the first Economy more dominate? Or doesn't it matter at all which one is stated first?

Well it matters to me even if there's no bias to the first economy, it's still displaying contradictory information.

What are the commodities like at that port? Are there both "refinery" commodities (ie. metals) and "High tech" (ie. Technology) goods for sale, or refinery only?

It's been my experience that when two economy types are listed for a single starport, that starport only has surplus goods for sale from the "primary" economy - the one that is listed first on the system map. The "secondary" economy simply modifies the sell-to prices of the other goods.

Thus, if my theory is correct, this starport's commodity list should "look like" a Refinery: lots of metals for sale, and not much else. No robots for sale, and "Microbial furnaces" and "Advanced catalysers" listed as primary exports are actually a lie. The secondary economy of High Tech means that demand (and therefore prices) for Technology items are much lower here than they would be at a plain vanilla Refinery planet.

As for whether it's important or not: I suppose they should be consistent. But since you can't see the Commodities Market screen until it's too late (ie you've already flown there and landed), it's not really something that can potentially cause confusion.

Generally, the first should be the primary production...and the second the secondary (the first should have more listings than the second...and the second could also be in a different station).

Their position in the market does not matter...as that is always fixed.

Agricultural will always be listed first.
