Ahh. Okay.
Just wanted to make sure that people didn't think this was an Extreme for Me and that I was using it as an excuse for my high pricing. Because this is literally what you have to pay for 88 Additives if you make them yourself and buy all the resources yourself (which I am forced to do since most BEs can't keep up with my demands). The reason this seems extreme, is because a BE who would make 88s, and would most likely sell them for cheaper than it costs me to make them, has most likely harvested his own flora and meat. But the problem is there are very few BEs on my server who can consistently stock 88s. Hence I'm forced to make my own, which means it costs me as much as, or more than what I mentioned.
As for my pricing, just want to get my conscience straight. My prices are based on the market and what other Chefs are charging. On my server, for this quality, I could bump my prices up another 50k or 100k per crate and I wouldn't sell that much worse. It's simply that the economies of servers are different, they depend on the number of people on the server, the profession distribution (hunters, docs, chefs), the number of people who do cash missions, and the number of people who make cash in other ways. And mostly I was just very hurt to hear someone say that my prices are expensive 
, because that's one of my biggest concern when providing this kind of quality food to players.

Just so nobody is offended by the pricing of my stuff, wanted to give everyone a layout of my costs.
Bivoli:
Additive:
90000 Fruits (20 cpu, this is a cheap price that I got it for, I've seen it sell for 40) - 1.8 Mill
20000 Meat(80 cpu,a bit expensive, but I like to keep my hunters happy, and away from jantas and mokks) - 1.6 Mill
40000 Veggies (15cpu, Decent price for top quality veggies) - 600k
30000 Meat (50 cpu, Decent price for pretty good meat) - 1.5 Mil
That comes out to 5.5 Million for the whole run. Divided by 39 crates (1 crate used for experimentation to get all amazings)
141k a Crate. Less than double profit, for about 5 or 6 days worth of work. For making the additives, getting the resources, getting the schematics, doing all the item transfering, etc etc etc. And this is all just so I can provide my customers with the best for a very decent price.
I have actually gotten a few compliments on my pricing...
Just wanted to make sure everyone knew what pricing was like on this server for components/resources before judging the pricing of the item =).

guess Bria is a bit different.
we have here the highest population, so much more hunters.
And i usually hunt myself cause chef takes just about 15-30 min max per day. The rest of my online time i ve no use for my Chef/BE. So i log my other char and get kicking critters and harvest them

ahazi is pretty populated as well man, and nobody there hunts unless you beat mokk missions in the solo group on dant for payout.

On our server all the hunters compare the payoff with Janta missions. So at 30k a Janta mission vs. How much CPU per Meat Dropped Per Lair must be equal to or greater than 30k or they won't hunt it. Hence we have to offer upto 100cpu for some meats and then they complain why the food is so expensive... well... duh! 
I don't have a problem paying hunters good cpu rates, but if we have to compete with in-game payoffs that makes it a little harder. Nerf the Jantas!
