I don't see any reason why these upgrades are this expensive for such minor improvements and conveniences of existing resource chains, especially when you consider that the price of this item, in Euros, is E 31.25, and in American Dollars is $43.06. Since I'm from Canada that works out to $44.75.
For the price of unlocking any one of these functions in the Epic Wood Yard, you could easily buy all the wood resources you need, so quite frankly, it's not worth it.
I'm sending a copy of this report to the Devs and asking them to discard this idea entirely as it is not practical in size, scale, resource chain or upgrade price.
