Food Price

im back =P

dude its till u start getting money from tax the prices go down lol

all or nothing is the only way to go with research with the one exception of mission required infra levels if you wish to finish missions/race has missions to finish, even then only do the required and never more as it cuts your total profit down from what it could actuallybe

i never sed go half half ...
going 50 50 is as dm sed plain not-smart :|

in fact it`s always not-smart to spread it...

half tax half agri is plain not-smart if you don`t have research

yea black out i turned tax agn i am trying what u said just plunder pop or turn half tax and half agri lol

lol i use 900k a turn i was forced to plunder my population lol :P the prices will come down they always do

nice idea i do like that i am commercial based for now lol i might turn taxer lol maybe never lolz

tax empires dnt need to restart cos of high food prices....
virals can switch there c4 production to argi or comm (preferalably argi as prices are high atm) and miners can switch to cgs or live of the minerals made ......

this then allows food production to come back up and flood market again so taxers can repop... yes i no u`ll make sweet fa from switching ure land but at least u make somthing and u can live rather than being forced to restart........
just my 2 cent on how taxers can survive high food prices.....

No, no, I am not worried, I am perfectly happy as it is now :P

hei.. now the important of Infinitejustice.. hehe.. but don worry he will be back soon.. jus that now he is too busy with real life now..

armenia4ever you dang newbie....im eating 1million food a turns...my mineral from researching dont cover anything at all....

Its called supply and demand. Theres a shortage of food, and now the price has gone up to deal with it. Its quite simple really.

Tax miners wont be affected really, as the money they make from access minerals will be sufficient to afford all the food they need. Im not so sure about tax virals.

As a Gaurd, the food price doesnt affect me at all.

I am perfectly OK with the food price atm :P

rofl @ EA :P

maybe both is right at the same time?

/me watchs peoples heads explode

All you are saying is true... Or just IJ is back from VM :P

Yep the big suppliers of food are not as active as before and due to the past low food price alot of tax miners/virals have sprung up.

More demand than supply is resulting in a price spike which has crippled the tax virals but the tax miners are still making their profits, right up until it hits the mid 30`s per (think 37 is the break even point or the loss point can`t remember exactly).

There will be more food soon as more people see it as a profitable income style now (it`s as effective for terran to go agri and sell food at 4 per, than to be a comm based terran. But when food is over 4 per agri terran makes more money by a proportional amount). Agri collective, agri terran and agri maru will start to pop up soon/now and get established. Once they are established (read: have some ferts/clusters and a infra level over 40) food will start to drop again in price and the cycle will repeat after a few months of `stability`

InfiniteJustice is in VM, just as simple. And the big taxers started playing. Combine those two and you get expensive food.
