only bad companies that are calculating theyr profits based on cheap power actually hate power prices at current rates, im a small player (~4mill assets) and use alot of bougth power, my productions allow for a fluctuation to the npc price and still make a profit.
now those companies that are leeching from power supplyers at 0.05 and selling at almost cost prices (in 0.05 margins) are complaining that they are going to go bankrupt, i say good, i do hope they crash.

Just tot of a new thing,

how about making the contest runs on 2 products concurrently in which (depending on what is the 2 products) the winner would be decided on:
either, that 2 products (i.e. apple(X) and orange(X) - need to be equal amount, X amount of apple and X amount of orange) OR combine amount of the 2 products (i.e. silicon(X) and plastic(Y) - combine total = X+Y)

that would really make the prices in goes crazy (esp. if the products is from 2 totally different type

Whenever my mother goes away for more than a day, the house is a real mess. I think Nase (or rather Mrs. Nase) will need detergent

and lots of it.

Detergents
elements:
1 kg Chemicals
0.1 kg Plastic
50 kWh Power

Would leave a few holes in the market. Hope this isn't a spoiler.

But who has a Chemical factory anyway...

This contest is terrible.
All mine products prices will go up.
Stones will go up making expansions more expensive.
Iron and coal will go up stopping all player made steel production.
Minerals will go up making chemicals production insanely expensive.
Silver will go up making jewlery less profitable
Gold will go up (obviously) making jewlery even less profitable.

My main buildings are factories. Most of factory products use mines products.
I think I'll use my supplies in the next 2-3 days and then have leave kapilands for 2 weeks.

Producing your own products does have some advantages.

gold takes up a lot of energy, and you can produce a lot of it. So its like 4-5 times more power consuming than top end products, like tvs, wardrobes, jewels. I think that power might go even higher, so this is probably the time to build power plants, that will be the real profit from this contest.
There wont be a lot of profits in gold, costs are at around 100-120 and it is selling at 130-150 or something like that

anything related to making gold will go up, steel,stones and wood might go up a bit for expanding.. but the main price increase will be the market for gold and the market for power, the way its going power might go maybe 0,02 more higher =] fingers crossed

Maybe but its good for the game, very good. As you see everyone is already in,
1) oil
2) steel

Maybe this conest will force them to go to differente chains, That be cool.
