I wanted to clear my island before starting my actual weapon production, so I have bought all the weapons until now.
But now that I am halfway in setting up my productionlines, I am seeing what a costly bussiness it is.
So costly, that buying them is way cheaper than actually making them myself.
----
"They" are selling 400 steel swords for 200 coins.
To make 400 steel swords, you need;
6.400 iron ore
20.800 coal
6 days and 16 hours (lvl1 factory)
------
If I where to buy these materials as they are, I would pay much, much more;
These amounts of iron ore and coal can be bought for (and I am lowballing it here) as little as;
Iron ore 20 coins per 400 stack = 320 coins
Coal 6 coins per 400 stack = 312 coins
Not taking into account the production time here, or the effort for which you normally have to pay.
----------
So the point I am trying to make is; how on earth can these people sell those swords for so little money; when the production costs are so much higher??
Am I missing something here, or seeing something wrong?
