Mines, wells and plantations

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 03.10.2008, 23:15

Are mines, wells and plantations the most profitable buildings, at least with no Q research?

Can I do all right by expanding them and selling Q0 raw materials into the market, or is Q research of finished goods ultimately more profitable?

I haven't leveled far enough yet, but are good researches available on the market at reasonable prices?

Well, lets start off buy saying that raw materials are not the most profitable in the long run, (something along the lines of leather jackets, wardrobes, and i think computers are very profitable) but when first starting off, mines are the best to build. you can make 2640 stones a day ( as a trader) with 1 20m2 mine in yellow building area, and selling stones for around 22 caps (19-20 in realm 2) you could make just about $58,000 a day. Once you have a steady income of 2.5million (about 40 mines) you could look into maybe make something else, but until then i would suggest building a few mines.

That or power in realm 1 producing .01 and selling .20+ making you .19+ a day on one power

as Myth said stones in realm 1 and 2 are very profitable right now

Water is profitable but takes forever to expand.

If you can find a buyer for cotton, then contact a big seed maker who makes q30+ then make cotton (q10 with q0 research and 30 seeds) and you can sell that for around 35+q (45 caps). With a cost of around 8 caps it is very good. Also, plantations are cheaper to make. With the beginning money you can make 8-9 and you can sell the steel and make another few.

Level trader:

20 m2 yellow mine..cost to make 240,000... makes 2640 stones a day... sell for 22cpas.. Cna make 58,000 daily, So the ratio is 0.24166

20m2 green power plant.. cost to make 142.500 Caps... makes 213.861 power a day... sells for 0.21... can make 45,000 a day, So the ratio is 0.3157894

so yes, it is more cost effective to build a power plant instead of a mine

Now remember Straw Man we are going OFF the market which moves, so right now prices are high, but who knows maybe next week the price of power goes down to .05 and stones are at 25-26. I highly doubt that the price of power will go down that much but we can only hope

. Well its up to you because power EVERYONE NEEDS, even the power producers because they buy steel to expand there plants.

Yes, but everyone also needs stones

technically no if you just buy your buildings then you wouldn't have to
