Oil
A Oil region is not owned by Australia, so i won't bother with it.
There we have it all Raw Material market prices (except oil).
When you are looking at what raw material price you should pay, take a look at the Quality level and do the maths 😛
.
Public Apology
I would like to say sorry the the man we call AW (Australian Warlord), from this apology i am hoping for a change of mind from him and he actually becomes a good Australian.
Thanks.

Nice work on the numbers! We need to see these number somewhere more often.
Thanks for the apology to AW. Maybe we can all work together. We all have good ideas and knowledge. I hope he reads it. 🙂

Well if my workers had better Wellness i could sell it cheaper.
It's impossible like this, thanks god Jimmy went to you Wellness program Icey. It's the only one with high wellness, and he is the one who receives better salary than the ohers. If everyone had over 80 Wellness i could raise 0.5 AUD salary and lower 0.2 AUD.

read that 😁😁 Then download, will help you alot.
I'm not going to comment about RP generally but the interesting prices are the Iron prices. I'm interested in the details of that.
@AW - Most of the companies that use Iron have there own Iron company, so that is why the iron market isn't that great.
I think that most of those prices seem pretty close. Adding percentages is probably a better idea as well, because .1 AUD on q5 food for example is very close, but on q1 grain is like 20%
this is tim09 by the way
well if you want i can open a lisence to your country for IRON q3 and weapon Q2
hmm i thought the RRP was just a guide?
I like to set my prices, its part of the fun of running a company, now these people setting raw material prices higher hurts my company but thats the game!
Why should one person, even somone as dedicated to the game as corny (not offence intended at all, I have a lot of respect for your achievements) get to choose the prices of things?
i think that at the moment we should try and stick as close to the RRP as possible untill we can get eAus's economy stable. i think thats the major sore point that people have with expensive RM. however even once the economy is stable reports like this one will help raise awarness for the general public in eAus
good thoughts Rulke.
@ Eastern Roman Empire - That table has gone through a lot of checking, it has been checked by both the government and the ABA. So yes I did do the numbers, but almost everyone that have come across it agrees.
What it really sets out to achieve is a market that is stable and free from importers, however allow flexibility with in our own market. This has been my main goal as Minister of Industry for the past 5 months.
I hate being forced to implement this system. It's a painful process, for both employer and workers. If wages are rising along with prices, what does it matter? It can't get too high, since AUD has only been printed once since the creation of this country.
What lets have inflation because it will only go so far before we crash and burn, what a great response.
The prices are determined by a wage system set around equality i believe. But it is only a recommendation and should be updated time to time.

The only eNations that are crashing & burning are those that's had hostile action taken against it. If eAutralia is fragile then maybe a white elephant draining 90% of the budget could be having a negative impact.
I believe we ARE paying too much!
I own a food company right now and I can barely pay off the workers excluding the grain.
The food market is pathetic people are undercutting too much. I basically make a loss nearly everyday!
😁
@ corny ratbag, well the people you are expecting to apply it don't seem to agree, how many companies are actually managing to meet the RRPs?
i was ignored by the senator who investigated RRPs, who did not even respond to me even when i went to not inconsiderable lengths to get him the information he needed, not even a thankyou,
did you recieve my comments to him? were they acted apon?
i think that the government is only listening to the people that agree with them, what sort of principle is this to run a country?
and once again i have to ask why you are allowed to control my company? i bought the company, i worked on it, why should you choose my prices?
So they can help better serve the people
a company is not a route for YOU to better your life, but an avenue for you to provide goods to workers. at RRP you can make a profit, which in a socialist government, is encouraged, but the government has a duty of care to make sure that GMs are being fair with what they produce and how they sell it.
So actually, you don't have full control over your company, because we have a Socialist government which cares more about the lives of the average worker than GMs looking to make a buck.
@ taytaz
- 'cares more about the lives of the average worker than GMs looking to make a buck.'
ROFL, man you make me laugh. In this game it is more commonly the opposite, the average worker is out there to rip a GM for all he's got and a GM is there to support himself and others.
Cause the average worker isn't looking to make a buck huh, lol
@ Eastern Roman Empire
Ignore that stupid comment. The RRP is something that many countries have IRL for a reason. You can go above it or you can go below it or you can sit right on top of it, you won't get into troiuble. All it really is, is a guide to help GMs work out profitable prices without hurting the market they work in for their own benefit and that of the consumers.
The RRP is not something you HAVE to follow, its just something there to give you a general idea of the best prices and wages to what is generally acknowledged as a fair profit.
That was CheeseBall btw 😛
"ROFL, man you make me laugh. In this game it is more commonly the opposite, the average worker is out there to rip a GM for all he's got and a GM is there to support himself and others."
Yeah, we call that Capitalism. It's good to be patriotic and to serve your country and all, but let's face it, some of us need a little extra incentive. Maybe if we had more companies, the competition would force wages up and prices down. Oh wait, the government was fighting the high wages...
Taytaz you need to start thinking in context
