As you see, my house prices is sky high when compared to others. I don't expect to sell houses at this price, but I REFUSE to sell them cheaper since I can make more money from selling the resources than by lowering my prices to what I perceive being the average price for them. Resources (grind quality) can be sold for 2.5 cpu on Chimaera, so charging less than that for my creations wouldn't work. I know you have to adapt prices to the market and not just apply a simple credits per unit strategy, but the market is so screwed when it comes to housing prices that there is no use in adjusting to it. Better to shift to resource sales and concentrate on selling harvesters and factories instead.

The harvester prices I figured using a 4/10 cpu formula. That means charging 4 cpu for low Q materials, and 10 cpu for high Q materials (for the ore minin units and final assembly).

hmm prices do vary server to server but why?

most architect items (apart from harvestors) do not require qualty resources, so prices should just refeletct the cpu mutilplied by the amount of resources required to make the item (plus a bonus as per the necessity of identical prefab subcomponts i.e. factory overheads)

So in my mind architect goods shouldnt vary so much in priceas resource dependentcy isnt as impportant as say weaponsmith or armorsmith, i know as a n architect that we should protect our profits but shouldnt prices stabilise as we all know that for example mediuem minerals take the same resources to make as a small house but yet we sell for 3x times the price?

Perhaps im shooting myself in the foot here...

Any harvestors use high HR SR UT steel. Houses do not. Hope that answers one of your questions.

BTW, a simple sword in this game sells for more than my medium mineral harvestors.

no wonder you dont sell any solar gens.
75k is BEYOND insane.
they only take 4300 resources
im all for making a profit and just because i sell something for less, i dont expect the server to lower their prices but wow, 17cpu pricing?????

the reasoning behind the lower ber than wind is that the pe of solar has the potential to go over 500, where wind wont do that.
although i admit i have only seen solar with a pe of over 500 once or twice, it still happens.
