Greetings everyone,

how much would you charge for a BER 9 windmill with a 33k hopper ?

Being an architect its been a long time since I crafted windmills, and i was surprised to see that they can be experimented up to BER 9 (maybe more ?). Compared to a solar ... I wonder why bother with a solar. Fusion is another matter. The PE there is significantly better. I did a factory run of 20 windmills and wonder about pricing.

Have fun

Hi,

I charge 1000 credits for them but I am also curious what otherpeople charge for them.

Yes ... 1000 was also my first guess... crazy, is it not ? After the first two hours on a 54% wind spot these windmills have produced enough energy to pay for themselves. 2 !! hours. And everyone needs energy ....

Have fun

BER 9 is a very good windmill indeed. The trouble comes from trying to convince the customer of that, amid the sea of holo-ground trash BER 4windmills that swamp most bazaars

'Ug. Windmill 300cr! I see dem on Bazaar!'

/sigh

As for the Solars, I'd still go for one of those when I can make them, mosly for hopper size and reduction in lots needed I'm not sure, but I think BER10 is pretty average for one, so can probably be worked up a bit higher? But if you aren't an Architect, these are very efficient, yes.

Actually solars are capped at BER 8 right now. Go figure.

Really?

I'm not that far up the tree yet. If so, then I'm not sure why anyone would use one at all. BER 8 Windmills are fairly easy to achieve even with average resources.

Maybe the Solar Resource Maps are generally more dense? Makes no sense.

Reason to build Solar:

Solar energy has a better potential energy than wind energy ...

Problem:

Quality Variance of wind and solar great. Good wind and bad solar energy are almost alike.

Suggested Solution:

Use BER 9 Wind harvesters in bulk ... generate cash. Later buy fusions. Forget solars (right now, considering that they are capped at BER 8 ... yeah, greater hopper, but I wont need them when I check the windmills almost daily.).

An architect/artisan like me can easily give other players 8 windmills and a small house for free in exchange for great energy prices later. Both benefit.

Have fun
