Raw Material Profitability

Day 2,685, 15:00 Published in South Africa South Africa by Miyagiyoda


Our community has a few more members and I haven't done this analysis for a while. South Africa has gained an extra FRM and WRM region and lost a HRM region. I have put together a summary of the profitability of each raws business using manager work.

The assumptions are as follows:







The Quick Sale price is dumping goods 1c below the going rate.
Using employees in Food and Weapon Raw Material production ceased being profitable once the price dropped below 0.07 ZAR, so no graphics.

Be very careful about which buildings you work lest you do yourself in. Grain/Fruit/Iron/Oil are costing you. Dumping Fish/Aluminium will cost you.
As for Housing, only Granite looks good if you can your labour near Minimum Wage. Market Wage leads to a loss.

Sadly, we will probably see lower prices before enough people wake up and simply stop producing. Lowering local work tax and minimum wages are only short term solutions to an international production problem. The last countries to hit rock bottom (and the most populous) are those with better bonuses. This means they will keep the dropping price cycle spiraling for longer than we can sustain it. This crisis has already occurred once with all raws hitting 0.01 ZAR, and was temporarily averted with a big tournament driving up food and weapons demand. The structural problem needs to be fixed.

Our only solutions to surviving this long predicted economic meltdown are more resource bonuses and lower taxes. And then its the wait for the reboot or another major intervention by Plato. Cthulhu save us all.

Amandla, Awethu.
Power to the people. Create your destiny. Act.
