One of these two fixes caused a new issue more major than either of the solved issues :(
Expected Behavior
Fat slaves cost a fortune during start of game slave creation. And thin slaves cost less than normal.
Current Behavior
The slave costs for weight are not being adjusted for my society in hedonism on the create slaves starting screen.
Possible Solution
Reverting one of these two fixes would do it, although that's not an ideal fix (and I don't know which), since that won't fix the other issue, that these other fixes, solved.
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
I think one of these two fixes caused this new issue: #2108 (closed) #2109 (closed)
All you need to do to reproduce this bug is select a pre-made hedonism arcology (in this case with a pre-assigned hedonism shop, although generic shop layouts might be fine too).

Actually wait, this fix !7489 (merged) for this issue #2108 (closed) hasn't actually been pushed yet.
That means this new "bug" has to 100% be related to #2109 (closed) and caused by ad155312
So this new issue is 100% related to ad155312 but the question is.... is this change intended or unintended?
I thought pre-existing arcologies with adopted future societies were supposed to have those FS effect costs before the game begins, but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe paying extra for slaves that fit your new FS arcology was the bug and it's fixed? It'd be sort of OP to pay a discounted cost for slaves that gained an attractiveness bonus due to the FS.... although no more OP than doing the same thing after earning 3000 reputation. Having it available on week 1 though is a little OP, which was why I assumed this change was a bug and not an intended fix, I could be wrong though.
I don't think a minor change like the text for shops will impact slave price.
And I can't repro. As I increase slave weight in your save, their price plummets. I also enabled debug mode so i could dive into their attractiveness score and it seems accurate.
I would wait on !7489 (merged) and see if that fixes your problem, then update the thread if it does now.
You are reproducing. As you increase slave weight the price plummets. That is the bug.
Two days ago the price WENT UP drastically as weight was increased.
That is because this start, is a start where high weight is considered a positive factor instead of a negative factor.
If you build using the commit mentioned in this issue, #2109 (closed) and load one of these saves of the slave customization screens #2108 (closed) you'll see that on 8-16-2020 in a hedonism arcology during game start during slave creation fatter slaves cost a fortune and thin slaves cost very little.
So either a bug I didn't know existed was solved, or you're reproducing a bug when you say " And I can't repro. As I increase slave weight in your save, their price plummets. I also enabled debug mode so i could dive into their attractiveness score and it seems accurate. "
Fat slaves in this arcology had high attractiveness and high cost on 8-16-2020 but on 8-18-2020 they have low attractiveness and low cost. One is a bug. One isn't. I can't say which. Since I'm not in charge. That's why I asked if the change was unintended or intended. Personally I think the logic from 8-16-2020 where FS attractiveness changes apply to starting slave creation is the best logic. However maybe you guys don't agree.
Edited by left1000Okay then there was a major bug on 8-16-2020 that no one knew about but just got fixed :) That's fine by me. It's just it used to work the opposite way.
edit: I will say though, this actually means taking over a pre-existing arcology is a lot EASIER than I thought, in fact maybe even EASIER than taking over a freshly minted new arcology. I thought it was supposed to be harder to take over a pre-existing arcology, not easier. Although I could easily be missing something, given my novice skill with the game.

Look at it this way: certain FSes make traits that others consider undesirable, desirable in your arcology only. That doesn't change the market value of those slaves significantly, as hundreds of other arcologies in other Free Cities still don't want them. You get a built-in slave price advantage by choosing FSes that prefer their slaves ways that are generally considered undesirable by the market.
So, yes, this was a bug prior to !7489 (merged), since sale prices were being calculated using the in-arcology sexual demand for the slave, not the global market demand for that slave.
