I really do think we need to have them change the lot alotments on all mediums to 4 lots.. I mean all smalls take 1-2 and all larges 6.. all mediums should really take 4.. this would allow more storage in a medium which would help push the mediums.. I don't know how making them retroactive would work I mean if you got a medium now at 2 and say 8 harvesters thats 10.. would it make you have -2? thus when you move the harvesters you can only place 6 instead of 8? I know alot may not like this idea but ummm I think for survival we need to have this done..

I'm not sure on your server but on Eclipse mediums are the worst money maker for an architect. No matter what you do to improve these or change them or whatever most people will still go back to the idea that I could have gotten it for this so why don't you sell it for that?

Personally I don't really care about houses anymore. Mining installations actually sell right now. Not sure why, but none of the novice architects ever started selling these for under 3c/resource like most houses. A large house right now is a loss in money for me. I can mine all I want and pretty much sell all of it for 4c/resource. No bonus to make people by more is going to raise the price, at least not high enough for there to be a big demand for them.

Personally I think increaseing the lots will push the market down. The bonus right now is the floor space you get from them, If someone needs storage they are better off buying 2 smalls instead of 1 4 lot medium. The smalls will have 300 storage and the medium would have the 250 storeage. Same as a Large house and a PA Hall.

Actually Numen it would prove wise to do it now rather then later when they get their fatabase woes somewhat repaired and raise the standards.. you are correct now that two 2 lot smalls will get you 150 per or 300 and that one medium at 4 will only get you 250 now.. it will eventually get you 300 also... and while nowone large will only get you 250 it should eventually get you 450 when they get the lot alotments corrected..

im honestly thinking that the forumla they have for houses is directly determined on the number of squares that are taken up by the plot of the house.

If you will notice that the small and the medium take up the same about of squares (3x4 or 5 i think) which is also the same size as a structure factory.

This would explain why the structure factory is 2 lots as well.

If this is infact the case, then this wouldnt be an arbitrary number that can just be changed. they would have to change the entire system to do this.

Do what I did:

Quit being an Architect altogether. Build yourself a bunch of heavy miners and sell all your resources to someone who's in one of the profitable crafting professions. I was struggling to make my harvester payments, and actually had 350k in the bank when I finally quit being an architect. I've been selling resources for about 9 days now... and I have just over 2mil in the bank.

As part of this process, have a few of your harvesters gathering random materials to squirrel away in casae they're needed later.

... and wait for Urban Planner.

Actually Caijal I don't have to quit.. I get a small business ammount which I like.. and when I get tired I go play my Musician or my CH.. I find ways to keep busey hoping for the day that phawt Dudez will be gone and the game will be what it should be
