Do you have Space Race installed?
Yes

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When you are in any of the resupply menus (Cargo Rocket, Supply Pod, or Space Elevator) the price of electronics seems to be about ten times higher than it should be relative to the other resources. In the cargo rocket Polymers cost $70 M per unit of 5 and Machine Parts cost $90 M, but the Electronics cost $1,000 M. In the space elevator Polymers cost $35 M per unit of 5 and Machine Parts cost $45 M, but the Electronics cost $500 M. in both cases I'd expect to see the cost of Electronics be just slightly higher than that of machine parts but it seems to have been greatly increased with the update I downloaded on the morning of 9/13/2021.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes, even if I reload the save file or restart the game the price difference persists.

It's not just electronics, everything is more expensive by orders of magnitude but I am just getting a supply rocket from Earth. At this rate it's just better to let all of them die.

I'm not paying the same amounts as you but machine parts are costing me $250m and electronics are about the same.

For me it was the Space Elevator, but it affected all resources that went up in increments of 5. And it notably happened on Day 79 when I noticed it, but by Day 80 (Inflation day) it was restored to normal the price I'd expect on Day 80. Seeing this price bug just for a specific resource is curious.

Anyway in the long term there should really be two sets of arrows applied throughout all resource loading. Single arrows for increments of 1, and double arrows for increments of 10. Or alternatively use Ctrl + click for increments of 10, something like that.

I have this issue with polymers, however mine started with an event (cost of x resource will increase after x days). The event says that the price will go up 100%, however the price jumped for me closer to 2000%. My polymers are now $700M and seem to be rising but with no real set increase period (that I can tell)
