What is a fish hook mass? A giant tangled wad of fish hooks?
Amongst other oddities, yes.
Replacement pineal glands? Artificial thyroid s? Replacement genitals? They're yours,.my friend, as long as you have Standard Units enough.........
What prompts the market for replacement pineal glands?
Also it helps with the production of serotonin.
I know what it does, but “replacement” implies the original is no longer there.
Replacement as in the original doesn't work well enough.
Remote, abandoned villages? Fields? Forests? It's yours, my friend...
Cheap real estate?!
Depends on your definition of cheap. You don't have to pay, or you might even get paid to repopulate some places. But those places are usually not without issues.
Oranges? Mechagodzillas? Spleens? It's yours, my friend, as long as you have enough Kopeks!
I can purchase (a/the) mechagodzilla on the open market?
As long as you have enough Kopeks!
Are there other mechs for sale?
Pottery? Vegetables? Metals? They're yours, my friend, as long as you brought enough water!
So water is rare enough to serve as currency?
Not exactly currency, more a form of barter. But yes, it's rare. The water plants from the hot North are the only way to harvest usable water, besides preserving what they have. They extract it from an underground ocean, that probably originates somewhere in Night (in the south), but nobody dares venture past the safety of Dusk.
This town is a mining town, so they barter water for mined goods. Within the town itself, they don't really have money.
Dozens? Hundreds? Times? It's yours my friend as long as you have enough Latinum.
