Market matching problems

Post by nobody »

I have come up with a strange problem. I want to order blue dye, but the order defaults to the cheapest item that fits the order description, and alphabetical after price. Order blue dye returns blue-purple dye because it costs less. Similarly, order yellow dye returns pale-yellow dye, and order green dye returns pale-green dye. I currently like how the market works, but it doesn't work well for ordering something with fewer descriptors for a higher price when a similar noun with more descriptors and a lower price exists. Adding the syntax "order <thing> for <price>" to force matching on price seemed good in my head, but looking through the market list it'd still get broken by dye, as "order red dye" gives clay-red dye, but "order red dye for 50" would still return clay-red dye, so I'm stumped on even what to suggest in terms of a fix.

You can now do exact matches by using double quotes. In your case:

Code: Select all

order "a vial of red dye"
