    Program rules

    Direct the base, choose the buyer

    • Silicon, iron, titanium, aluminum and oxygen accumulate while the program runs. A single priority line borrows capacity from the other four.
    • Exchange prices fluctuate around an illustrative reference price. Large sales receive a lower average execution price and push the next quote down. Future market demand can move prices again.
    • Contracts offer fixed rewards for exact material bundles. Accept or deny incoming offers; accepted demand reserves the shared stockpile. Choose which ready contract to deliver first.
    • Sell only uncommitted stock. Contract delivery removes its materials, releases the commitment and pays the locked reward without moving exchange prices.
    • Offers last 48 simulated hours. Accepted contracts have 96 hours to deliver. A missed deadline releases the stock and records an expired contract.

    This is a game economy with fictional customers, prices and production rates. The simulated dollar balance tracks gross trading revenue; base operating costs, real futures positions and financial returns are not modeled. The silos are indicators of inventory, not physical storage limits.

    The earlier Moon Base Economics model is retained for later planning.
