Has the steel market dried up?

[Guest]

I'm looking at steel tonight, and some of the 1,000 priced steel is on the lowest priced steel page.

Has the market finally dried up? Are people circumventing the market completely, or has production stopped? I don't mind, as I make my own steel, and know mine will sell VERY quickly now, but was curious if anyone knows why behind the scenes or something that made this shift in what seems to be 24 hours...

I haven't really noticed a change. In fact, steel is a robust industry that won't ever dry up, considering that it's a fundamental need in this game. If you don't see any steel on the market, that's because it's been bought up. Also, in case you didn't know, an NPC (non-player character) sells an infinite supply of q0 steel at 135. That means that once all q0 steel under 135 has been bought out, the NPC is still there.

I know that you can always get steel from the NPC, but usually around and sometimes cheaper than the NPC steel is being produced. For whatever reason, that seems to have stopped... is demand so high the suppliers can't keep up, or did the suppliers give up?

[Guest]

no just means people are buying more and supply is still the same so steel can not be put on the market that fast as if there is no cheap steel on market people do wait till some gets put on then it gets taken off that fast so it will always look like there is non on market not only that alot are selling in contracts as it is saveing them alot more money and can sell it cheaper for a higher profit still

Not dried up. Always have people joining/restarting and selling their steel at a lower price than the next person so it tends to go fast. Lots of q0 producers do that too. Other than not having a hold on what quality goes for what, it's actually pretty hot.

Most steel is sold outside of the market.

Infact it is the complete opposite of what you thought. The reason there is no steel on the market, is becasue it is all sold. If ther were lost of steel on the makret it would mean its not being sold as fast!

Steel is the most booming market in kapilands, with some of the bigger companies neede 100,000s of steel per day. It will never dry up, it will alwasy be a huge market (at Q0)!

I have sold 1k in 5 seconds, from the time I clicked send to market until I clicked "Office" was that time that it took to sell. I think the steel market is very very big.

I Agree with that.

I sell 90% of my products via contracts. It saves me the chance of losing 10% if the market happends to drop off quickly.


I have been watching the steel market for awhile now and I have noticed one thing.


*Edited the names off the list.

The red box is the NPC. The blue box is all of the Companys that are selling steel for higher than the NPC. I know there are those few companys that like to sell things for insainly high prices so I will leave them out.

Most of the market is overpriced for q0 steel. Why? Are there really that many people out there that don't bother to check the NPC price for steel? Thoughts?

I don't know, I have sold a little q0 steel on the market for more than 135
