📋 About This Mod
For the game v8. 00.
Two versions:
- With a comma separator from 10,000 Cr and up. The game standard.
- With a space separator from 10 000 Cr and up. For Number Format users.
This mod is useful...
...in the stations 'Traders Corners' for a quick comparison between average price and proposed price.
...while searching on the map for the best price to buy or sell with the game 'Trade Filter' system.
The size of containers is a useful info in general and is practical for micro-managing freighters.
It would be neater though, if Egosoft did place a column with the average prices in the transactions screens (Traders' Corners, Trade Filter and Stations transaction screen).
The strange thing is that an average price column is indeed present in three screens (player's Inventory, Encyclopedia and PHQ Safe Deposit Storage)!
As for the size of the Wares containers, they can only be found in the Encyclopedia (afaik).
For the ships equipment prices:
Whis Equipment Tooltips alternate version.
Equipment tooltips No price but...
These two mods add hidden stats for weapons and some other ship equipment.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 169 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Solves a real QoL gap—no need to alt-tab to Encyclopedia for average prices.
- Two separator options mean it fits both vanilla and Number Format users.
⚠️ Cons
- English-only—if you play in another language, the mod won't work for you.
- Requires game v8.00; if you're on an older version, you're out of luck.
- Only affects transaction screens—doesn't touch ship equipment prices (needs another mod).
For X4 players who live in the trade screens and want to spot good deals without flipping through the Encyclopedia. If you're a trader or fleet manager, this is a must-have. Skip if you play in a non-English language or are on an older game version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Copy the 'average_prices_in_transactions_screens' folder into your X4/extensions directory—same place as DLCs.
- If you use Number Format mods, grab the space separator version to keep things consistent.
- Uninstall is just deleting the folder; your saves are safe.
