Version 6.1.04
In the previous versions, when using a mod with lots of product types with low Necessity indices, there is a chance that boom and bust cycle is too volatile (GDP growth swinging from -20% to +20%).
The underlying cause of this economic behaviour is explained below:
When there are lots of product types in the mod, the sales of products will contribute to a larger percentage of the total GDP than the base game with no mod.
Therefore, when the sales of products fluctuate wildly due to economic conditions, it will cause a big swing in GDP growth (-20% to +20%)
(You probably wouldn't experience this problem if you using not using a mod.)
This version mitigates it by reducing the effect of economic conditions on product sales in general.
