Heavy Harvesters:

ER11= 80k

ER12= 10k

ER13= 120k

For example your Fusion Generators are the most expensive 'Heavy' harvester (not really a heavy I know, but I classify it in the group). In fact they take less resources than a Heavy Mineral and are easier to make (being that you can reliably make them by hand without failing at the maximum BER of 14).

Make sense?

not handmake them anymore and end up with BER13's because of stupid critfails, sold out in a week)

I typically sell fusions 10k more than BER 13's harvesters but for no reason other than that's the norm and not because they use a few more gerator turbines. You really can't be an Architect if you don't have a gazillion walls, OMU's, generator turbines and MM (Manufacturing Mechs) readily available.

Actually, fusions are much EASIER to make than BER 13's harvesters if you have good enough resources you ALREADY have a BER 14 without expermentation.Really, has hopper size EVER been a problem ???

BER13's you have to experiment and work UP to a BER 13. Fusions, on the other hand start as a BER 14 BUT will work DOWN - if you experiment and have lower qual resources...........do you get it now ?

The following are my personal opinion and as many of said, it varies per server. But it also depends on what your business plan / goal is. High volume or High Profitability. I've tried to strike a balance between the 2. The following advice is what has worked for me ....

Factories:

Wearable Factory = 55k

Equipment Factory = 55k

Structure Factory= 55K

Food Factory= 55K

- same as I do. I sell a lot of factories at this price and the margin is good compared to the complexity required to make (i.e., fairly easy)

Houses:

Generic Guild Hall = 300k

Guild Hall = 250k

Large House = 150k

Medium Generic House = 70k

Medium House = 60k

Small House = 10k

- I sell houses for a higher price than what you have listed.Then again, I don't care if I sell a lot of houses. I could use the resources for other things for the trouble and profit of houses. I sell small for 15K, Medium for 100K and Large for 200K. I don't sell a lot, but they sell.

Harvesters:

Medium Mineral:

ER8 = 30k

ER9 = 40k

ER10 = 50k

- Same as I sell

Medium Gas, Flora, Chemical and Water:

ER8= 30k

ER9= 40k

ER10= 50k

- You are short changing yourself here. Water requires the same resources as Medium but Gas, Flora Chemical require walls. I personally sell them higher (75K) and I sell a lot. Flora and Chemical very popular.

Heavy Harvesters:

ER11= 80k

ER12= 10k

ER13= 120k

- I sell BER 13's higher and I do factory runs on Heavies so I don't have failures (the odd occassional one). But I price them higher. This is a personal decision for yourself but I think you can sell them for a higher price.

Fusion Generator:

ER14 = 140

- I price them the same as the Heavies. /shrug No actual reason for it other than I didn't want another price point to remember.

• City Structures

City Hall= 450k

Shuttle port= 250k

Cantina= 250k

Cloning Station= 200k

Hospital= 150k

Theatre= 150k

Bank= 80k

Fountains= 10k

Statues= 18k

- Fountains are too cheap in my opinion. Fountains are 10 times more popular than statues. At minimum, you should sell them for more than statues. I sell them for 35K and sell quite a bit of them. Players are always buying them for their houses.

- Hospital, Theatre and Bank you could raise your prices without affecting sales.

Gardens:

Small= 50k

Medium= 150k

Large= 250k

- Can't commit on this one because ... I haven't sold enough gardens to remember the pricing

My 2 cents. Take it for what it is.

Fair, sure. Make sense, not really.

I find it works well to have a price list based on a cpu cost per resource used. As a rule for example I charge 4cpu for my archetictual structures and 7cpu for furniture. I am considering raising my prices on structures a bit as at this price I"m having trouble meeting demand and paying more than 2cpu for a raw resource is killing my profits.
