How to make parts more expensive

[Algiark]

I remember seeing this somewhere in the forum, there's a way to modify a .cfg file to adjust part prices. I plan to start a new playthrough with parts sold at 10 times of their original prices, hopefully this will give me some real challenge

I would assume in the parts cfg file they have a fund counter now

Edit the part.cfg files in <directory>\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\

Most of the stock parts are in \Squad\Parts

In the file you need to look for this section:

// --- editor parameters ---

TechRequired = basicRocketry

entryCost = 1600

cost = 850 <-----

category = Propulsion

subcategory = 0

title = FL-T400 Fuel Tank

I'm pretty sure that's been there for a while now anyway; parts had 'value' long before 0.24 did anything with that value.

Rather than changing every part, there's a thread discussing a ModuleManager config file that will multiply the cost of all parts, stock or mod. Ah, found it. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/87395-Harder-economy-and-progression-in-0-24.
