Srs Bzns - WRM Production

Day 1,782, 11:06 • Published in United Kingdom

A real honest interwebs female...

Hi there eUK and any other readers fortunate to cast their eyes upon this issue of the Chronicle, today we are going to talk about the current WRM Production methods for those of us who are currently only starting up businesses in the eUK.

Now, I am a proud Yorkshire man, and all my current WRM production facilities are based on that fact - I always move to Yorkshire before I start a new production facility for nothing but the self-knowledge that I am helping the eUK with it's overall income..

A typical afternoon after hunting slaves...

So, anyway, after seeing a few questions on my news feed from new eUK'ers asking "What company should I start?" and "What's the best way to make money?" and also "How many ostrich eggs can I fit in my ****?", I decided I'd run the figures for the eUK and see which WRM facility would give the best returns.

Note - This is based on current eUK bonus rates, an average WRM sales price of £0.11 and an average Gold Value of £460 per Gold. Also, these figures DO NOT take into account any staff - this is ONLY for sole trading purposes.

Something I just threw together for you...

So.... what are we looking at?

Well, as a quick TL😃R version, the graph basically says that, at current WRM and gold rates, the Aluminium Mine is currently the fastest facility to pay for itself in terms of raw WRM / Currency output which, in turn, leads it to being the best building to invest in, in terms of pure cost per unit of WRM produced.

In similar terms, the Oil Rig and Iron mine come in at a close second in terms of general turn around and overall profit per unit created, with the SaltPeter mine coming in a close third and the Rubber Plant coming in last.

Sooo... basically, at the moment - invest your money into Alum. Mines, however they are heavily linked into gold prices (The higher the gold price, the less profitable the Alum. mine), otherwise if your not keep on the linked pricing, drop you monies into Oil Rigs.

Once you get self-sufficient, start looking into salts and rubber plants, but only when you get to the point where you can manage and pay some staff to man them - otherwise, they are nothing but status symbols.

I'm sure I'll get at least one person who tries to mention food costs, but, basically ignore them - for a solo buisness, please, stick to Oil Rigs for the most stable income or Alum. Mines for a bit more risk.

If anyone wants to have a go and disprove these figures, or thinks I'm wrong in some way, please drop your rebutals below.

Until next time peoples,

Have no clue what the graph is showing but voted anyway

can you show your workings? i.e the formulae you use to crunch the data

thanks

@ Neil Lewis..

Current Rate = (Base Rate * Bonus) + Base Rate
Cost Per Unit = Cost / Current Rate
Income Per Building = Current Rate * Current WRM Price
Days For Profit = Cost / Income Per Building

The Overall figures basically show that :

1. The Iron Mine and Oil Rig's both have a 149.89% Yearly Income Rate
2. The Aluminium Mines have a 174.56% Yearly Income Rate
3. The Saltpeter Mines have a 132.25% Yearly Income Rate
4. The Rubber Plantation has a 99.75% Yearly Income Rate

Though, again, I must stress, these figures are SOLELY compiled for those people who run their facilities with NO workers.

I will be doing a future article on the actual effect with workers over the next few days. (Obviously based on current eUK figures)

Likewise, these figures seem to be on the basis of selling the WRM?

If you are going for self sufficency to supply your weapon factories, then you should go for the best - although the Q4 Saltpeter is probably the most efficent....

Not really Mr Knee, again if you are having no workers, then the Alum. Mine is still the better choice for the money (with the current rates) invested to the WRM output. Which, basically means that you are basically getting more WRM per £ spent from the Aluminium Mine compared to any of the others.

Until you reach around £530/535 per gold, then Alum. Mine is the best choice if you don't run any workers in your WRM Facilities or your Weap. Factories..
