   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Tower Networking Inc\mods\

Inverse Prices Mod#

A chaotic mod for Tower Networking Inc that inverts all prices - you get PAID when you buy things!

Overview#

This mod turns the game’s economy completely upside down:

• Buying devices pays you money instead of costing money
• Tower links pay you for setup and daily costs
• Recycling costs you money instead of giving you money back

How It Works#

The mod hooks into the game’s spawn callbacks and inverts prices as things are created:

Device Prices#

• Intercepts on_device_spawned() callback
• Inverts the price field to negative
• Also modifies merchant price multipliers to ensure consistency

Tower Link Costs#

• Intercepts on_user_spawned() callback (runs early enough to catch link setup)
• Inverts all LinkCosting fields:
  • setup_fixed, setup_per_floor, setup_per_distance_samefloor
  • daily_fixed, daily_per_floor, daily_per_distance_samefloor

Recycle Prices#

• Inverts recycle prices so you pay to recycle devices

Gameplay Impact#

This mod makes the game extremely easy by turning all expenses into income:

• Unlimited money glitch: Buy expensive devices to gain money
• Links generate profit: Creating tower links increases your balance
• Economic chaos: The normal gameplay loop is completely broken

Strategy Tips#

• Buy the most expensive devices to maximize profit
• Create as many tower links as possible
• Recycling now costs money, so keep your devices!

Limitations#

Due to mod API limitations:

• Proposals cannot be modified before they’re created, so proposal costs remain normal
• Some prices may be cached before the mod runs
• Prices are modified per-instance, not at the template level

Installation#

1. Place this folder in the lua/ directory
2. Ensure the folder structure is: lua/inverse-prices/entry.lua
3. Launch the game - the mod will load automatically

Compatibility#

• Game Version: 0.10.0+
• Requires: ModApiV1
• Compatible with other mods (like 2x-bandwidth-switches)
• May conflict with mods that also modify device prices

Technical Details#

The mod uses:

• on_device_spawned(device) - Modifies device prices as they spawn
• on_user_spawned(user) - Used to trigger link cost modifications
• Direct field manipulation on DeviceUnit, DeviceMerchant, and LinkCosting objects

Troubleshooting#

If prices aren’t inverted:

1. Check console output for [inverse-prices] messages
2. Verify the mod loaded with “Inverse Prices mod loaded” message
3. Make sure you’re buying newly spawned devices (not existing ones from before mod loaded)

Notes#

This is a fun/experimental mod that breaks game balance completely. It’s great for:

• Testing game mechanics without financial constraints
• Sandbox/creative play
• Seeing how far you can push the economy
