Caution about stalls' poe reserves

+ +If you select Also be cautious about stalls' poe reserves, +YARRG will calculate a minimum amount of poe that each stall has on +hand (by looking at all the offers that stall is making), and never +plan for you to sell goods at that stall for more than the available +poe. + +

+ +Goods planned to be bought at the stall (which might boost the stall's +poe reserves) are not considered, to avoid having to calculate the +stall's cash reserves at various different times. +

Locating commodities in the YPP client UI

+ +In the Voyage Trading Plan, YARRG indicates after the commodity name +where in the YPP commodity UI each commodity can be found. First +comes the initial letter of the category: +% my $dbh= dbw_connect('Midnight'); +% my $getclasses= $dbh->prepare( +% "SELECT commodclass FROM commodclasses ORDER BY commodclass"); +% $getclasses->execute(); +<% + join '; ', map { $_->[0] =~ m/^./ or die; "$&$'" } + @{ $getclasses->fetchall_arrayref() } +%>. +

+ +Then, if applicable, follows a number from 0 to +9 indicating roughly where the commodity is in the +list of commodities of the same class. The number indicates which +tenth of the list is: 0 for the first (top) tenth, +1 for the 2nd, and so on, up to 9 +for the final tenth. + +

+For example, +

Fine pink cloth   +
