Desperate Programmers

Now that you know how the basePrize is calculated you can tell what any items would need to be build.
The exact how-about shall be described below for any items without individual recipes:

In the first step the basePrice is transformed to some performanceGoal. It takes a few variables from the current gameplay settings, but here i will only put them as constant as they don’t seem to be in the focus of a change anytime soon.

extendedPrize = Extended_Baseprice = ( (128 / 255.0f)^2 + 0.5) * basePrize* 0.6;
This is slightly below 0.45 * basePrize, but not exactly.

And from this the performanceGoal is described with
performanceGoal = extendedPrize * (log10(extendedPrize ) / 14 + 0.5)

From here it is a simple algorithm to get the needed parts:

Let’s see an example:
The Tangent Weapon Part 10
WP 10 has a .def basePrize of 38400
-> extendedPrize = 17325
-> performanceGoal = 17325 * (log10(17352) / 14 + 0.5) = 13907

Possible parts are the PartList of Chems.
The most valuable from them Gamonin with a basePrize of 5760:

=>
Parts = Gamonin, Gamonin, Trisol, Strastin, Tiberal, Arillium

Partlists
Of course you need the basePrize and the PartLists to do this calculation.

• Chems:
  Gamonin(5760), Adiclovin(2880), Trisol(1440), Strastin(720), Tripantol(360), Tiberal(180), Metal D(90), Arillium(45), Meritium(30), Solantium(15)
• Weapon Mod Parts:
  Tangent WeaponMod Part Reg.# D11H6/MOD-10(7680), each part below halfs the prize
• Implant Parts:
  BioTech Implant Part Reg.# 222-DKIH6-J(76800), each part below halfs the prize
