Steel is a very lucrative product, and I think the reason it has gone up in price so much, is because it is much more difficult and time consuming to produce than people originally thought. Plus, everyone starts with a certain amount of steel, and it's very tempting to sell it off when you can get 90-100 for it at market. I've sold very little steel on the market, if it goes over 110, I will throw out a little, just to make some fast cash, but for the most part, I produce steel for my own expansion.
My top picks for best sellers and best profit...
1. Seeds- cost .01 to produce using only water, very high profit rate.
2. Stone- fast production, no quality to research, high demand, low overhead because you just need a mine to produce it.
3. Coal- because it takes such an enormous amount to make steel.
4. Corn- because everything in cattle production depends on corn.
5. Grapes- best fruit to grow for profit, especially in quality level, and sold in red areas.
6. Textiles- interim product used to produce many other items.
7. Oil- also an interim product used to produce many other items.
8. E-Units- used in all kinds of production, high demand.
9. Steel- but you must stay devoted to production all the time, to do well.
10. Chickens- cheap to produce, will sell high at market or in red area stores.
...And my least favorites....
1. Apples- everyone wants to grow freakin apples for some reason.
2. Cotton- takes forever to grow, nets very little profit for the time to produce.
3. Sugar & Flour- not much market demand, those who need these products for their production are probably already producing them, and the market rates are low compared to the time it takes to make the product.
4. Cattle- much the same reason as Sugar and Flour.
5. Glass- too much time to make, too little demand on the market.
6. Water- You'll never get rich selling water.
7. Wood- stable product, but it takes forever to produce.
8. Milk- for some reason, it doesn't sell well on the market.
9. Wool- takes a long time to produce, and very little profit or market.
10. Caoutchouc- what the hell is Caoutchouc anyway? Rubber?
Okay, so there are my picks! I realize, everyone has a different opinion, and some may disagree with these picks, but this is what I have found in my limited experience, and I hope it will help.
