Thread: If you had these resources, what would you charge for vehicles?

The SR of my ferrous metal is 993, and my non-ferrous is 876... with these materials, what would be a fair price to sell vehicles at? I know... stupid question... but I'm afraid 8cr a unit would be too much, but then I don't want to sell them too cheap either...


Thanks for all help.

Well, considering that the quality of vehicles is not dependant on the quality of minerals used, you should proabably sell them at the same price everyone else is.

ok, so would you care to explain why SR affects the HP of vehicles if the quality doesn't matter?

My advice:


You can calcule how much ferrous you will use and how much non-ferrous you will use. As the ferrous metal have higher SR, give it a higher price, for example 8 cpu. To the non-ferrous, that have a razoable SR, give 5 cpu. Then you calculate BOTH metal cousts and sum the result to get the final price.


And a comment: SR is important to the vehicle durabilitty and so to the vehicle final hit points. If someone don't think that this is important he can buy a vehicle made with low SR metal to see how much time the vehicle will survive before some creature or NPC destroy it.

Since I mine my own resources for about 0.6 cpu, I'll sell at 4x (2.4 cpu, round up). That's plenty of profit for me.

Considering you could sell the resources of that quality for 9-10 cpu, I think your price for vehicles is very fair. With those resources you will produce quality vehicles, well worth the cost.

Right now, I'm going to sell my vehicles for what I see them going for in town. After the excitement wears down over the next few days, I plan on reducing prices to about 3cr per unit of resources and an assembly fee. Subject to change.
