wood

Hi,

i am new in Kapi and have some questions. Maybe they will be interesting to others too.
Is wood product in german version? what prices are in there, how they were changing from begin of the game until now? is it possible to predict wood demand and prices in the future? it's more attractive for me to sell something to others than producing something like wardrobes and then selling in stores. yes, maybe wardrobes is more profitable, but i am still not decided keep producing and expanding wood or move to wardrobes

how much pay big companies for very good quality of wood now, for example for Q7, Q10, Q15 or maybe Q20? what quantities of high quality wood demand big companies? i saw some of them buying 1 million or more per day. how it will be in future?
I know, its difficult to say that will be, but we can predict

Thanks.

Best regards,
TakeON

If you look at the faxes you can see many different offers to buy wood. Since there seems to be wide variation in the prices of buy offers then my guess is that the future will hold high demand for wood since it is necessary for expansion and for some of the most profitable end products.

if you really want to specialize in wood then build two plantation RCs and continuously research seeds and wood. then build as many plantations as you can with enough wells and power plants as necessary to support them.

Wood Q0 will always be in high demand and it is likley that high Q wood will always be desirable as well.

I don't know is there any other product like wood or it is so special.

To produce any quality costs the same. The price of research is not big, especially in long run. Some millions of cash for high quality research is so small amount if the compare for example against steel for expansion. Where is no any reason to produce Q0 wood if is possible produce bigger, because higher quality can be sold for Q0 price very easy. I know, expanding RC isn't very cheap, but it's not very big too.

About demand. wood is required for expand, chairs, tables and wardrobes. Lets take wardrobes for example. If someone use wood Q4 to produce wardrobes it adds +Q1 to wardrobes without any research of wardrobes. Q8 wood adds +Q2 to wardrobes, Q12 adds +Q3, Q16 adds +Q4, Q20 add +Q5, etc. Lets look at wood prices and wardrobes prices on fax. For 1 quality of wood most adds +0.5, +0.75 or very rare +1 caps. For 1 quality of wardrobes they adds +50 caps. What does it mean? +Q4 wood makes wardrobes +Q1 and the difference between +4 and +50 is 91%. Maybe its the one of the reason why wardrobes makes so big profit. And it is the another reason why not produce lower quality if you can bigger.

Its easy to produce big amounts of wardrobes if there is a lot of wood, because joineries are easy to expand. i think to fill 1000 m joineries needs 5000 m plantations. so, wood demand is very big.
but i am interested, how much wood companies trying to produce himself for furniture or they don't?

you realize that 1 wardrobe takes 20 wood, if you increase wood price by 1 cap for each Q you will see that from Q0 to Q4 the cost increase of 1Q in the wardrobe is 20*4=80 caps and ppl just buy wardrobes at 50 per Q increase.

My opinion: There will always be a high demand of wood and the price will go up to 70, even if this may take a while. (6 month, 1 year, don

How fast can you get a substantial wood-production up and running?
you'll need quite a few plantations, but how many and how big (m2 wise) should they be?
And what difference does the quality wood make?

English is not my native language, so i don't really understand first question.
I make some stones, power, water and steel myself. So expanding for me is easier. But in general i can double my plantations in 3 weeks. Its mean, i have 3000 m plantations now and after 3 weeks i will have about 6000 m plantations if wood prices will be the same. After next 3 weeks i will have 12000 m plantations, etc. Maybe it will be more difficult to double. Now i have just 10x300 m plantations

Quality adds from +0.5 to +1 caps per unit of wood. Its important if you produce very big amounts. An i think for very high quality (like Q8, Q16) people pay more than +1, because furniture made from it is easy to sell for bigger price.
