I also agree that the modifier is the simplest and cleanest solution that affects all parties equally (except for low kinship gotchis). We could easily down-modulate the rate to hit our target inflation rate without nerfing anyone’s installations or turning off channeling.
Edit: I re-read the original proposal discussion here Alchemica economic plan - #68 by Quincy1971 which aimed to down-modulate the base rate. If the community strongly believes that changing spillover rate is a better idea than changing the base rate at this time, then we’ll let that preference stand.
I still believe that limiting channeling to once a week, while more extreme, would help us actually address the structural issue of too much inflation from AC and help get farming back in balance, but if there is no appetite from the voters to make that move yet, then we I agree with @Immaterial that we should take the win.
We are prepping some dashboards that will continue giving more visibility into the sources-sinks ratio so that everyone can clearly see the health of the economy.
Overall, I think has been a productive discussion and want to thank @Immaterial and @JG1 for kicking off the discussion on game economy, which is a vital part of a thriving Gotchiconomy.
