Copy of CSV File in the game's Database Folder

Seems that trades are definitely influenced by team outlook.

Yeah this is the trade matrix or something - I remember seeing this when looking at stuff for testing a while back but the only issue is, from this document we've got no idea what the weights/interactions for those numbers are within the game code.

I'm assuming it's not intended to be a 'moddable' document, which is why it's not mentioned anywhere and only found by sifting through the game files.

question on the use of these txt files, I guess they are only imported upon creation of a new save? if you look into an existing save the files are .dat files (not .txt).
no way to change/import them, even on July 1st

Yeah, it's my understanding that whenever you create a new game it basically pulls all of the information from the games original install location (which will be different for Steam vs Fastspring but steam will be in the usual steamapps/common/OOTP/FHM etc etc) so if you wanted to change anything 'permanently' then you'd edit stuff in there.

Be warned though, that location will get overwritten with game updates, so if it's something that's taken you some time to create then I'd recommend saving another copy of it somewhere else so you can just re apply it after the updates.

edit - and no, as you've experienced already - you're not able to directly open or edit the .dat files that will populate the contents of a specific save game.

This is in the Database folder for the game. It can't be found in the Saves folder .
