Summary	0022124: ARS hacking price scales in an improper manner
Description	As I seem to have caused more confusion than help in issue 0022114, here's a fresh report. Hacking cost for ARS hacks does not scale properly In the attached save, hack 1 cost 15, hack 2 cost 18. So far so good. Looks like 1.2x scaling as intended Hack 3 cost 36, and hack 4 cost 54. Hack 5 would cost me 72. Now it's suddenly using a formula where the hacking cost is (n-1)(cost of hack 0000002) instead of 151.2^(# of hacks -1) This may apply to other hack types as well. Haven't tested. Attached save was started in 1.005.

BadgerBadger Nov 7, 2019 7:01 pm manager ~0054448	Okay, hacking costs now go 15 -> 18 -> 22 -> 26 -> 31 -> 37 That looks a bit better. Thanks for reporting!
