99+ day(s) ago | ozorg ur sadly mistaken
miners can make profits without goods wen food is at 37 per, but when it hits 39 even with goods they loose.
viral on the other hand still make money on food at 17 without goods, when it hits 18 per they loose money without goods. with goods they start loosing money at 20 per.
this is all assuming 5,000 loyalty. without 5k loyalty they loose money wen food is cheaper due tot eh loyalty boost granted
just wanted to clear hat aspect up |

HYBRID
99+ day(s) ago | yeah but tax empires need tons of food and can lose a couple thousan each turn
but if prices are to high they aint gonna buy so you lose out on sales |

99+ day(s) ago | I`m an agri terran and this is a good source of income for me. I have people buying food at this price so I don`t see any reason to change it. if you can`t deal with it make your own food. |

99+ day(s) ago | ermm, well there is actually a certain food price which in the LONG RUN helps, but its better to have it high, if its high theres demand, when demand falls price falls |
