Server Side Economy

Trucky has a complete Server side Economy system.

The official currency is the Trucky Coin (T¢) and is not related to the currency used in-game because Trucky calculates the job income by its own.

Each job track contributes to the company’s earnings (or losses 🙂 ).

The job income is calculated with the following components, very similar to the game but with variations:

• Base Reward = calculated based on actual distance travelled and units of cargo delivered, multiplied by Market Multiplier depending on whether Quick Job, Cargo Market, Freight Market, WOTR
• Valuable Bonus (if the cargo is valuable)
• Fragile Bonus (if the cargo is fragile)
• Heavy Bonus (if the cargo is oversize)
• ADR Bonus (if the cargo belongs to one of the ADR categories)
• Distance Bonus: a percentage calculated on the Base Reward in incremental steps according to the distance travelled
• Proficiency Bonus: a special calculation on the actual quality of the delivery
• Market Change: the percentage of increase or decrease in the Global Cargo Market

All components summed together, makes the calculation named “Income“.

All cost components are then, deducted from the income:

• Taxes (fixed 15% of total Income)
• Fuel cost (calculated on the litres of fuel actually consumed)
• Rent cost (if applicable)
• Damage cost (calculated on the percentage of damage inflicted on the truck, the cargo, the trailer)
• Fines (if enabled in game)
• Transports cost (ferries, trains…)

The difference is the company’s final Revenue.

Global Cargo Market

The Global Cargo Market shows variable prices for cargo that have changed positively or negatively.

Every 3 days, Trucky recalculates cargo prices, simulating the demand of a global market that applies to the reference game and impacts all jobs tracked by companies. Therefore, a cargo can vary from -25% to +35% and affects the calculation of the Base Reward.

On one hand, depending on how much the freighter is delivered, its supply influences the price accordingly: if the freighter is delivered a lot, its price will drop and companies will have met its needs. On the other hand, if a cargo is not delivered in a long time, its price may increase further.

An indicator aside each cargo shows if the price is increasing or decreasing.
