Huge Unlimited Money Exploit with the new tourist mechanics

[DFrantz]

So in the new patch tourist only give money when they leave the colony and when they want to leave they board the first rocket you own that is on Mars.



While I was playing i sent a rocket full of tourist on a mission and they left with the rocket, gave me money and made the tourist pool bigger. The problem is that when the rocket returned the were still there and no longer counted towards being on Mars for too long...

So I sent them on a new mission... And they left with the rocket, gave me money and made the tourist pool bigger... So I shipped in more tourist...



And then sent them all on the cheapest automated trade route I found and every time they left the colony I got everything again.

So I shipped in more and every time the new tourists wanted to leave I stopped the trade route let them in and sent them on a trade route again... So for the price of 30 fuel and 5 metals I was getting BILLIONS EVERY TIME THE ROCKET LEFT and I still got food in return for them getting to Mars.



So Tourist + Cheap automated trade routes = UNLIMITED MONEY

Must have been Japanese tourists. They are way too polite to tell the tour operator to hold up a sec. They'll just go with the flow.
