I don't make enough power to sell yet, but if you insist, OK,

Silver profit 36.16 per unit
Stone profit 7.52 per unit

Power Production costs: 0.03 per kWh
Power market price 0.06
Power profit 0.03

Water production cost: 0.02
Water power cost 0.1 kWh Power (0.03)
Water total cost 0.05
Water market price 0.06
Water profit 0.01 per unit

so you'd still make 36.16 with silver
But if you sold one unit of stone instead plus the 745 power and 89 water then you'd make
Stone 7.52
745 power 22.35
89 water .89
Total 30.76
But counting the 10% market fee which should be constant regardless.
So you'd still make 5.40 more on silver.

HEY? You guys know you are losing money by selling water?
if you are only making .01 after you figure cost and ther is a 10% fee....
Very good, your'e getting close. However, your math is wrong on the water. Check again. It should be:
  • Water production cost: 0.02
    Water power cost 0.1 kWh Power (0.03) = .003. That's 1/10th a unit of power.
    Water total cost 0.023
    Water market price 0.06
    Water profit 0.037 per unit
Secondly, as Klasanov said the power plant should be in green. That makes the cost .01 instead of .03, and the profit .05 instead of .03. Now your total comes out to:
  • Stone 7.52
    745 power 37.25
    89 water 3.29
    Total 48.06
See what I'm saying?

What Knolls was getting at was you can make just as much selling the power required for the silver. This is very true if you produce in green and sell the power at a price of .07. With the fee this is 40.5 kaps per 750 units of power.

This is even more true when given the fact that there is less capital required to make this profit.

Also, why not just make what you need for you factory products and sell any surplus? I've actually found coal and iron to be quite profitable, and am nearing a point where I can expand consistently (although its true that I've focused mainly with mines and haven't branched out into anything yet). The returns might not sound tempting, but if you deal in a lot of volume, its alright.

Hmmm but my warehouse only says .02 for the production cost and must not count the power it takes to make the water.

Is that a bug?
Is that for every product or just water?
Cause I do have to use power to make water
And the production costs does say .02

Water
Required: 0.1 kWh Power
Quality max: 0 Production costs: 0.02
