Research - gas or oil?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 27.01.2007, 11:36

I'm currently wondering which research building to purchase - the gas one or oil one

I thought that gas would be better, as it's the thing I sell - but what is the effect of quality on oil?

Also, to cut costs I thought I would build the RC in a green area (where I am based), as the only downside seems to be the loss of the 25% faster research. Is there any other reasons not to build in a red area? It's a lot cheaper and i'm always looking to save money =D

Thanks.

For research buildings the red area is always better.
If you research oil and produce gas with it, also the quality of the gas will rise and you can also sell the oil for better prices on the market

Why is the red better - is it just for the time bonus? Because I'm not bothered about time, costs I am worried about. If the time bonus is the only good thing then I'll just build in a green area

Later researches will need days and weeks, then 25% are many

You should keep in mind that the costs for the research are the same in red as well as in green. So higher costs in red only refer to the building and to the expansion.
Later on, you will have the possibility to sell qualities/ technologies. And higher qualities sell for a higher price...
In the beginning people want to save money by constructing their buildings in cheaper areas. But later on, they emphasize more on the factor time.

Gas or oil research: this depends on your further strategy: gas is being researched in the chemical R&D, oil in Mines and wells R&D.
So if you now emphasize on mine's products, it would make more sense to build the mines&wells R&D first...

yes, no donations *gg* and no sales below the production costs

why can't you sell things below production cost?

you could, but you'd have to be slightly thick. XD
