Thread: What's this Doms.Oats worth?

We had 995 OQ Dolovite iron selling for around 15 cpu after the spawn ended. I get that price. It's available less than half the time. There's only 1 type of it availabl (usually) when it is available. It was 99.5% of ideal for Dolovite.
But here you have a very nice (93.6% of ideal which is fabulous for an organic), but it's a resource that is always available in 10 different varieties. That means you can almost always find domestic oats that are at least 75% of ideal. The difference between 75% oats and 93.6% oats? I don't know exactly. I'm guessing 10 points on my ASDD.
I would probably buy all I could at 6 cpu. Definitely no higher. But, some sucker will pay more for them.
For reference, on Scylla we just had some 80.25% dom oats shift yesterday and the best currently available are 74.5% dom oats.
Awesome breakdown. Let me take it just one step further.
You're right, using these oats over 75% oats (which should almost always be readily available) would provide you an extra 8% of power on an advanced SDS. As SDS's range from roughly 20-75, each percentage point is worth about 1.8 points of power. That said, an extra 8% would yield about 14-15 more points of power on an SDS.
With that, you might be able to make an enhancement pack with 880 power instead of 865. Not a huge difference, but nice, nonetheless.
I think I agree, I'd pay between 5 or 6 credits at most for a resource like this. Of course, your results will vary from server to server.
