Standard fixed prices can make a server boring after a week. If you want a realistic economy where prices change based on stock, you need to configure the Dynamic Price system.

Enable Dynamic Scaling: In your TraderPlusPriceConfig.json, locate the EnableDynamicPrices toggle and set it to 1.
Set Min/Max Limits: Define the lowest and highest possible price for high-value items like the M4A1. This prevents the economy from crashing if one player sells 50 guns.
Depreciation: Set how fast an item loses value as more people sell it to the trader.

Tip: This system forces players to scavenge for different items rather than farming the same military base over and over.

Adding modded items to your trader is essential for a unique server experience. Follow these steps:

Find the Classname: Open the mod's types.xml and copy the exact classname of the item.
Add to Categories: Open your Trader configuration (e.g., TraderPlusPriceConfig.json) and paste the classname under the desired category.
Set the Price: Assign a buy and sell price. Remember to balance the economy so players have to work for high-tier gear!
Restart: Always restart your server to apply the new shop inventory. Need a custom price list for your server? Ask below!
