Economy Balancing - Atlas Scripts

The default economy is a starting point. You should adjust it to match your server’s earning rates, money sinks, and expected activity length.

Main economy controls

Config area	Controls
`Config.shop.items`	Rod and bait purchase prices
`Config.baits`	Bait price, fail chance, and rarity multipliers
`Config.tiers`	Base rarity weights
`Config.fish`	Catch prices and per-fish weighting
`Config.zones`	Location-based rarity multipliers
`Config.sell.account`	Account that receives sell payouts
`Config.boatrental.boats`	Optional boat rental prices

Decide target earnings

Pick a target amount a normal player should earn in 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour.

Test with starter bait

Use worms and dough balls first. These should be accessible and low risk.

Test premium bait

Shrimp, squid, and lures should feel worth buying without printing money too quickly.

Check zone value

Deep sea and special zones should reward travel, boat rental cost, and added risk.

Adjust sell prices

Tune Config.fish prices after testing real catch frequency, not before.

Good bait progression usually looks like this:

Bait tier	Goal
Cheap bait	Low entry cost, more junk/common fish
Mid bait	Better common/uncommon consistency
Expensive bait	Lower fail chance and better rare/epic odds
Premium lure	High cost, meaningful legendary chance

If players earn too much:

Config.baits[6].price = 800 -- glowing lure
Config.tiers.legendary = 0.5

If fishing feels too slow:

Config.cast.biteWaitMin = 2500
Config.cast.biteWaitMax = 8000

If rare fish are too common in deep sea:

mult = { rare = 1.2, epic = 1.5, legendary = 1.8 }
