Pearl Economy: Mining, Delivery and Sale

PEARL ECONOMY

1. Capture a scouted island and build or restore its pearl mine.
2. Production accumulates in island storage through cron; it is not credited directly to the player.
3. While next to the island, load pearls into the ship hold. If the hold is full, the remainder stays on the island.
4. Sail to the sea port and enter the coastal zone through it. Pearls are delivered only after unloading.
5. Delivered pearls can be sold to the state for withdrawable USD, exchanged for silver, or listed as a SELL order on the Economy 2.0 player market.

STATE BUYBACK
The sea screen shows the rate, fee, minimum amount, and available fund. Payment is subject to the fund, daily budget, and personal limits. USD is credited to the withdrawable balance. A failed validation does not consume pearls, and retrying the same request cannot pay twice.

SILVER EXCHANGE
This consumes delivered physical pearls and credits silver at the current rate. Pearls still on an island or in a ship hold cannot be exchanged.

PLAYER MARKET
Open Economy 2.0 → Market, choose SELL, Pearls, the port warehouse, amount, and price. The order reserves the goods. On settlement, the buyer receives a physical pearl batch and the seller receives silver minus the market fee. Cancelling an open order releases the unused reserve.

If an operation fails, verify that cargo was delivered, sufficient unreserved stock exists, limits remain available, and the state fund has enough USD.
