Stones will be best!
Well all stones producer have a nice luck!
In a few months or so the stones prices will become at least 18caps!
So i guess also all raw materials execpt stell will go up!
write what u think!

I dont think the stone prices will rise to as much as 18 for a longer time, because if one can produce stones which dont even require any research and sell them for 18 (and coal and iron ore can only be sold for lower prices), all the people producing coal and iron ore would switch to stones (provided they want to maximize profits in their mines) which would essentially lower the price of stones. coal and iron ore will in my humble opinion never rise to that price because then the steel produced at q0 is more expensive to produce than to buy from npc. qualities of the coal and ore to sell at 18 would have to be very high and most people arent capable of such qualities.
i m pretty sure there s a demand for high quality steel so if you produce Q10 coal thats 20c+. Its kinda strange that thre areny any big high quality steel companies around.GREED inc. wrote:I dont think the stone prices will rise to as much as 18 for a longer time, because if one can produce stones which dont even require any research and sell them for 18 (and coal and iron ore can only be sold for lower prices), all the people producing coal and iron ore would switch to stones (provided they want to maximize profits in their mines) which would essentially lower the price of stones. coal and iron ore will in my humble opinion never rise to that price because then the steel produced at q0 is more expensive to produce than to buy from npc. qualities of the coal and ore to sell at 18 would have to be very high and most people arent capable of such qualities.
at coal price 20 and stones 18 there is about 2.5% more profit/time unit in coal at current power and water prices. and i doubt most of the companies that produce coal have their coal researched so high to produce q10. if the power price still rises then even that small extra profit vanishes bcause coal uses almost three times more materials than stones
Coal used in steel used in wardrobes is worth .12 per point of Q, assuming no rounding error occurs. Steel used in a few things is worth more per Q. In steel used in cabriolets coal is worth around .15 a Q.
The only places High Q steel might genuinely be worth it is in tires and computers. About the time tens of thousands of those are made a day, you might get a large enough demand in high Q coal to make money off it.
Minerals are a little better: .25 per Q
Iron is a little better again: .4 per Q

I dont think we'll hit 18c in this stone wave. Maybe the next one
The water and power market has pretty much reached its peak now and has (during certain times of the day) began to show signs of weakening (water). Once water prices start to ease, power prices will be likely to follow suite. This will cause a slight decrease in the price of stones, though 14-16c on market will probably be the bottom line. 18c, certainly possible but not worth speculating on.
The wood market may add some volatility in both the water and power market, but wood has been quite steady for the past 3 weeks, with giant corps hedging costs at around 53c avg; hence, its unlikely wood will cause power/water to increase in $ anymore.
Speaking of which, water prices will probably go down during the next 2 wks or so. Oil prices has been terrible lately, avging 45c on market and 40+1Q via contract. Great incentive for oil producers to skip on to water. (reducing power consumption and increasing water supply)
