Hi,

Couple comments then the requested numbers....

1) The point is that the original post neglected to account for any of the associated re-deeding cost when factoring in the cost per unit resource. neglecting this fixed cost means that the cost per resource harvested does not change with the number of days the harvestor is left on the ground. So for the original posterI thought it would be nice to show all of the numbers, so they could see the obvious cost decrease with the longer you are able to keep the harvestor planted.

2) the 365 day calculation was for...lol

3) the 100% 100% number was ..just for kicks....

4)I agree unless you have a degree in mathematics or engineering these theoretical numbers probably seemed like a waste of time...it really was just provided, because it took all of 1 sec to calculate., and that it does help people find the point where leaving the harestor up any longer doesn't really reduce the cost per unit, for those who have many different resources needed, the extra .05 cr/unit you save willnot deter them from picking up and moving, while a .40 cr/unit may. Law of diminishing returns or something like that.

The new numbers that you requested on personal Harvs:

45 % wind placed for 5 days -- .63 credits per unit

Using that wind power cost for 5 day pickup on a harvestor

50% resource -- .97 cr/unit

60% resource -- .81 cr/unit

70% resource -- .69 cr/unit

75% resource -- .65 cr/unit

80% resource -- .61 cr/unit

85% resource -- .57 cr/unit

90% resource -- .54 cr/unit

Please draw you own conclusions.

For the other posts: please sell resources for what ever you can sell them for, and for what ever mark-up you feel appropriate for the time it took you to survey, and time to maintain them. The market will eventually lock into a price be it 3 or 10 time will tell.

Another thing your previous estimate didn't take into affect was that a small house takes more than 1 lot (I think it takes 4, but I may be mistaken about this). So, if you have a house you won't be able to run as many harvestors or power generators.

SWGcraft.com has a harvestor calculator you can use to figure out costs per unit of resource harvested based on type of energy used and concentration of the resource--just plug in the relevant numbers (of course, the calculator doesn't take intoaccount redeeding costs or cost ofyour time to survey the resources).
