I don't plan on changing my prices. After all,a factory is slower than making by hand. The benefit is that it gives the consumer a consistent product andgives them the convenience of having 25 stacks only take up 1 slot in inventory. And it gives the crafter a chance to rest the wrist, and possibly do something else other than craft all day (heresy!) .


I will be giving a discount on crates, but that is because I already had a policy of giving a discount on any order of 20 or more. So buying in bulk willbenefitthe customer, but that is something they are already used to.


On a side note, I also like seeing how everyone is playing their chef character. It makes the game more multi-dimentsional, and also gives the customer a variety of choices.Somethingfor everyone.


My storeshave the environment of acozy cafe with coffee tables and comfy couches, and I try to give each customer attention, and make them feel at home while they're there.

There is no reason the price should drop much.


We're now saving the customer space in his inventory, and ourselves from RSI. Its a fair exchange.


I do think I will drop prices a bit because I dont have to handcraft em, but not much. I'm still using the same amount of resources.


I NEVER sold crates under the broken factories. I considerred it a waste of resources. I will now be making all my food by factory to guarrantee consistency. The customer is regardless of our work. They get consistently perfect product, in a compact form. Why should they get it cheaper?

I'm not changing my prices for now. If I sell less than I like post patch, then the prices will be lowered. If food catches on and I can't keep my vendor stocked, then I'll raise the prices.The biggest advantage for me is that the crates allow me to do more in the game than grind sunburns and sell cheaper to loyal customers.
