Thread: Buissiness Proposition, sort of... lol

I think it would appeal to someone just breaking into the buisness.
I survey every cycle for possible great resources and then harvest them myself.
If you sold stacks of cheap flora resources for subcomponents I'm sure that would do well.
Added after I thought about it for a minute: I'm more likely to buy good creatures mats (bone, hide, meat, milk) than flora resources. So if you want to be helpful, become a ranger and know what you're hunting, then set up a vendor to sell those.

I did buy my grind mats earlier tonight (since I'm just starting out on Ahazi) simply because I wanted to keep all my harvestors on the good spawns.

i agree with both those points.
my main go-to resource guy quit playing, and i miss him really bad. i could send him an email that i needed a million crys gemstones, or 400k of water, and he'd put some or all of that on my vendor that night at 2 cpu. he also did move harvs around for good spawns and for really great stuff that i knew i wanted more than i could harvest i'd sign up for that in addition to putting out as many harvs as i could.
i am really picky about my good flora and i do spend the time myself to find good concentrations. i have some of my houses/factories on lots that belong to friends so that i can keep 20 lots open to shift harvs around. but any time i see cereal, water, crys gemstone, or fiberplast at less than 1 cpu, even at 99999 for 100k, i buy it because i know i'll use it eventually. if i'm short at the time i'll spend 2 cpu no problem, but stocking up for the future i try to find 1. seems to me you'll have to decide between static harvs for grind stuff, or shifting them around for good stuff, but there is money to be made either way. good luck!
You will prob find you spend a few hours running maintenance and power tho.
Personally I buy ALL my resources. I know a couple of big harvesters who can get me 1mill+ of nice resources as they come in, or I can get grind resources from their statics for cheap.
Creature resources are the biggest pain tho, as it can be very pricey...You need to keep at least 20-30mill in the bank to buy up 1mill units of meat @20-30cpu when it spawns. Thats a lot of capital.
