Well I have been gone from BE for quite a while, and I see that tissues/food items are a very good way to make money...
They want crates of items.
Problem: Hard to make crates of itemswhen I don't have any factories.
I need good resources
Problem: I don't have any harvesters besides the newbie ones, and I don't know which resources are good.
As far as creatures go, I have the ability to sample about anything in the game, and I can make 4k nonch creatures fairly easily, and I can sell them on bazaar for 6k and they sell like hotcakes but I really need to make more than that per creature, and just shouting doesn't seem to help. I am probably going to dump CH and get a second account or just move to another server so I can get merchant for planetary advertising and such.
The main problem is I need quite a bit of cash. Also, what is a good price for a factory?

I got enough money to buy a factory and the resources for my first crate by selling a schematic to a chef. Fromthere I've just been buying enough resources to make as much as I can. About to hit the 2 million credit mark sometime today or tomorrow. I don't have any merchant skills, or even a borrowed vendor as of right now. I just sent tells to any Tailors/Chefs I could find asking if they were interested in BE tissues. Now I have enough regulars on my friends list that I don't really need to go looking for more of them.
Though there is this new guy who wants to buy 1000 chef tissues a week, so I may have to work something out with him.

Selling a schematic? What does that mean? A factory schematic?

Don't sell a Schematic for less than 1 million credits, That is a fair price for them or don't sell them at all. Chefs will quickly start to take advantage of you if you sell the schematics for 15k or something stupid like that. They make too much money from your tissues to sell them for less than 1 million.

I suppose 200k for one I sold recently was too little, then ... on the other hand, I also sold some wood for it, the chef didn't know about that trick. Also sold beans, the GOOD thing here is I didn't end up using any of my OWN great meat ... the other things I could spare more easily.

Does anyone know a site that lists the quality ratings of each material? I am trying to make scent naturalizes and I can't seem to find any good flowers.
