Monthly Economic Report - August 2025

Greetings MER-enjoyers!

The Monthly Economic Report for August 2025 is now available!

The Future & Beta:

  • We are doing major work on both the data-pipeline and output (plots and CSVs) of the MER. You can see some of the early output in the beta directory. Expect to see significantly more in the September MER.

  • Some plots will removed, mostly due to data issues.. We’ll go though each in detail next MER release.

  • Specific to the Import/Export Chart - The data-source for this being depreciated. Regardless, we’ll continue to run it for as long as we can, in its current state. We understand there is some interest in it at the moment.

Some of the issues it has:

  • It ignores Titan Bridge movements.

  • It ignored Jump Bridge movements (rare between regions) until recently.

  • We wanted to only include Non-Singleton items (that is, un-assembled items), in cargo holds. We can’t, the current data-source doesn’t differentiate between singletons and non-singletons. Nor does it differentiate between different holds (for example - ship holds for Capitals). We want the chart to show the movement of goods (but not ships) between regions. Instead we get a weird mix of goods and some ships in some cases.

For those running scripts to extract data from the MER; Sorry. Thank you for your patience.

For those of you looking to get your hands on the raw data for your own use, you can find the downloadable data for last month’s report in the following LINK.

Huh? Do you even understand what the mer is?

I think someone’s Icelandic got a head of their english.. Or have been learning English from a frostpacker. Not sure..

But I am guessing that this dev reported somethings and did not receive an answer. That he/she has a lot of ideas. That could make things go faster? That at the beginning of next? month that there will be big changes.

That it will be every 28 days. So that the report will not be affected by a weekend.. or weekends? Not sure which way the dev was going there..

I worked with people whose first language was not english and this is what it comes across as being. Thinking in their native language and writing or talking in another language. I think that is what is happening here in this post.

You changed the naming convention for the archive… Nooooooooo!

Or whatever.
