Cost/doc

This template accepts cost data for an item in the TrainStation game (usually in the Shop) in text form.
It then returns the item's cost in a consistent order, using formatted numbers and the appropriate graphic for each resource.

Syntax

• {{cost|<resource1=amount1>}}
• {{cost|<resource1=amount1>|<resource2=amount2>}}
• {{cost|<resource1=amount1>|<resource2=amount2>|<resource3=amount3>}}
• {{cost|<resource1=amount1>|<resource2=amount2>|<line=y>}}
• {{cost|<resource1=amount1>|<resource2=amount2>|<cont=y>}}
• {{cost|<resource1=amount1>|<resource2=amount2>|<cont=y>|<qty=#>}}
  • resource1, resource2, resource3 = the names of the 18 different resources in the TrainStation game: gems, gold, and the 16 materials. (minimum: 4 characters)
  • amount1, amount2, amount3 = the amounts required of resource1, resource2, and resource3, respectively, to purchase an item. Always use plain numbers with no formatting, e.g. 1000000 (NOT 1,000,000 or 1.000.000 or 1 000 000).
  • The 2nd and 3rd parameters are optional. If the item requires only one or two resources, simply close the {{braces}}. DO NOT add extra pipes (|) for the unnecessary parameters.
  • Gems () always appear alone in an item's cost. No item in the game has a cost that includes gems plus another resource.
  • Optional parameter line, if present, will cause the output to display on one line, horizontally.
  • The parameters below should be used only within a contract list on a contractor's page.
    • Optional parameter cont, if present, will format the output for display in a contract list on a contractor's page: horizontally as with line, preceded by a bullet and the word "Cost", all in italics.
    • Optional parameter qty, if present, will multiply each resource amount by the quantity specified. This allows for easy input when contractors require two or more identical buildings or decorations in a contract objective, while producing accurate and consistent cost totals.
      To use this parameter, enter resource amounts for one of the item, then add |qty=# to the template call, where #= the quantity of the item required by the contract objective.
