Suggested starting prices are listed in the table, but these can be changed. As they become harder to obtain, you might want to explore the scrap resources that exist within the system. Any resource developer can purchase and sell scrap to producers. You can reassemble it into usable piles, use the clean sides of cards, and take off the paper clips. To test for usable scrap, you will follow much the same procedure as with raw materials.
Environmental planners are chiefly concerned about the quality of life.
Clearly, the more resources the system has, the better off the people are. However, increases in the number of people or increases in consumption cause a decrease in the quality of life. The environmental planners' job, then, is to try to maintain a high stable quality of life. You cannot change commodity prices, however, either for raw materials or for goods produced. You constitute the Environmental Planning Board which should meet every 15 minutes.
