I've found that since 2.2.4 (and now 2.2.5) that within 10 years of the Market opening, minerals have been going for super-cheap (0.30'ish, WITH a 30% market fee). I am not sure whether this is a Glavius thing or whether this is a base-game thing, but I suspect the latter - that, with a higher difficulty level, the AI overproduces minerals, sells the excess on the Market bcs they are bad, and then me, the player, gets to benefit from their stupidity/overproduction.

BUT -- anyone else seeing this, esp. on higher difficulties?

If this truly is a base-game thing that occurs on higher difficulties, I think some sort of kludge might be in order.

Same thing for me, I have no idea if it's Glavius either but food, minerals and consumer goods are stupidly cheap, while alloys and the strategic resources are prohibitively expensive.

I've not seen the ai buy anything other than a little bit of alloys in my latest playthrough. As a result i end up flooding the market after 75 years with my sales and everything is super cheap.

There was a bug in one of the latest patches that massively increased space mineral deposits. This in turn makes the AI prefer Ag or Energy districts driving food prices down.
