A lot to say about this:
-Where's the iron, copper and aluminium on that list? I think iron and copper specially are very important to include on
that list, cam'on they are the basic materials of machines.
-Remember the planets' natural resources! For example Mars is full of CO2, H2O and carbon (and iron) but don't
Jupiter which is full of hydrogen; these materials would be cheaper on those planets.
-There is another problem, which is the ability of mankind to convert some resources into others like water into
hydrogen, oxygen and some organic materials or minerals (if water is not pure).
-You choiced to use O2 as the base of all prices, which is a good choice, but I'd prefer you to use gold, because it's
useless (then you don't waste it nor breath or eat it) and is what real world economy uses.
-In my knowledge is better using dynamic prices, because with time stuff gets more rare (making it get expansive) or
each time more common (making it cheaper), then in my opinion price should change due quantity of gold relatively
materials quantity what would create a capitalist economic system.
I think is all for now, I know how simple you want to make Space Orbinomics, but make some effort to run realism.
