Plastic: Black Sheep of Kapilands
Time and again, I look at plastic. A lot of important stuff needs it. Still, there is almost no reason make it. The return for Q is tiny. Yet so much requires it. In the end, almost everyone who uses it makes it them self, or buys it and just ignores Q.
I wonder, do the German servers have the same issues? Is there something I am missing here?
Again, I need sleep.
Good night.

It all depends on how much plastic is required per product. TVs require 5 plastic each. If I were to purchase it an increase in quality would essentially cost me 5 times as much as if it were only 1 plastic per TV. Because of that, each increase of quality for plastic is worth 2 more caps each for me, while increasing E-comps is ~8 caps.
That disadvantage disappears when I make my own. Sure, I still have to produce as much plastic as I need to make my TVs but now improving quality (through research) is no longer diluted.
I need a very large amount of plastic. I tried looking for low quality producers, but they could never fill the volume I need. The only reasonable option is to make your own. Producing my own oil is nice too, because oil is super quick to research.

I could be making ~200k of plastic but it's not profitable. The minimum price for me to get equal profits from plastic as I get from oil and chemicals would be ~64+3,5*q. My best customer pays 62+2q
It's better for me to make chemicals. All that I can't sell goes into plastic. Since lately I sell almost all of them I only make ~10k plastic every day.
