I used my own products, besides water bought from the market to produce and raise the cattle.

Cattle Research is at 3, and the other prducts used in making the Cattle were all at 0. (The 3 Cattle was enough to top the Quality scale and make it Quality 1.

Is that enough information, to figure it out?

It's enough to figure out that your real cost isn't 288.84, unless you paid like 90.00 each for that water.

Why 31? Did you feel like doing just over an hour's worth, or did you start and then cancel?

Not enough corn, and the Water was only .6

I'm also still experimenting with different stuff still, so it helps right now to jsut get little bits done at a time.

So the 288 is just an anomoly?

EDIT: Woah! I jsut made a few more cattle, and now the Unit Cost has gone up to 346!

I just checked my warehouse and I don't have any anomalous high prices for anything I've produceds. Yet the thread was started because Dayrowntree said the same thing. I'd like to figure out exactly how that is happening because I have no idea.

Well, here's what I came up with, I bought my water in about a pack of 20,000 at .6 cents. The only reason I can come up with is that it is factoring ALL of that water PER cow, to make it such a high number. Just a guess though....

If you really bought water for .6 then we don

I mnake about 500 Q3 cattle a day and my unit price is 14.39. when i started making jewellery i had the same prob but i think that the more you make the less it becomes. keep making cattle and the unit price should start to drop.

The quantity has no effect on the production cost. But the following things do:

1. The area where you produce (red, yellow green)
2. The price of the components you use.
3. The quality you produce (higher quality, higher costs, but only very little)

I think the level does not influence the cost, but it ifluences the time of production (higher level, longer prod. time)

I hope I didn
