I havent tried to understand that formula, but doesnt your statement that it's unknowable suggest it's too complicated?

A big appeal of this game has always been the ability to calculate factors/outcomes. Things like DR, and even pm regen, have seemed overly complicated.

Maybe I missed whatever development initially led to such complication, but is it necessary?

Only used on my Samsung Note 8.

Overall it feels like most mobile sites, for better or worse. Everything seems massive, though. Maybe because I'm accustomed to the old view, but it feels oppressively big.

Came just to say this.

There's a lot of shock changing interfaces, but Im sure I can get over that. The old advisor, however, was a very useful dashboard for looking over yourself or others, and was great for documenting.

Many may like the big, long form stuff, but having somewhere you can get an executive, no scrolling necessary dashboard would be extremely useful.

At its peak, this game can have a lot to digest, but scrolling 5 or 6 panels for what has historically been a single page overview seems too much.

[Personal note: I was never a fan of the red version, but I LOVE the enhanced blue one that has nw breakdown and additional stats like bpt]

You want 200 bots to dump a total of 100B food on their private markets and then buy NW for them?

A set like last set with no farmers we could see food go too high for players to take turns.

Isn't that what actual players do at the end of the set?
and..
Like the current state of Primary?

Whatever bots stock will amount to trouble, so stocking food, or neglecting to buy tech will create issues. Those lumps of food stock will come back to the bot periodically for instance which will cause even more problems than the current techer bot cash do now. The techer bots sat on 4-6B cash last set and with food stocking you would find casher bots with 300-700m food and techer bots with similar amounts. Cash on hand at least decays when it goes above 2B.

Food can be put back on the market. I'm not a programmer, but the logic to add a mandatory login and sale at [time to market] + [48 hrs] sounds pretty straight forward, and plays with the rational decision making mentioned by Z. Finding one in the 5 minute window where their food is home really wouldn't be any different than finding one with 0 DR.

Lots of commies, no food shortages so far, and reasonable tech prices. Pointing to favorable casher environment, imo, but who knows.

The rainbows have a tendency to extend their stupidity beyond their build.

Bored of both turning the other cheek and killing offenders. Rather just not play. Sad state.

Dunno, but it's time to spend. All I have left is tech no one needs anymore and military resale. Buy my stuff.

Can't believe there wasn't a good techer this round. Sort of explains pricing though.

Hilariously close, and surprisingly low.

Only left 50ish turns in the bank this week. Continuous improvement!

Food is used to protect and store value of excess cash throughout the reset. You don't just buy it at the end. It's typically accumulated over a period of several days to a few weeks, on the backend of the reset.

He can tell himself since he will want to post here again.

You are in violation of forums rule YOU made, so no, it's your duty to apply the rules. Do so.

Look at that fluff on koh. Feeling strong.

If you see there are a lot of indies and as a techer you decide to tech extra indy, would you consider that collusion?

There is a different between being a fluff and a cheater, as there is a difference between reading the landscape and actively colluding.

I've seen nothing that indicates galleri plays favorites.

I have plenty sitting of tech and military on. Just dunno if it'll sell.

I'm just about tapped right now. In next few hours I'll be reliant upon tech and resales.

Margin would have to be pretty high to justify oil at current price. Oil adds ~0.63xPrice to cost of nw. I'm not mbr so I'm already thin after tax.

I've resold a couple million barrels in last 24. There's no issue selling.

Fair point on volume. Does the market feed record SO activity?

It couldve been really small. But when you can flip it for 10x pp you don't need much to add 5 - 10m nw.

4.2 hours ago
You purchased 1 Oil Barrels at $22 for $22 via standing order.
Your standing order was cancelled due to lack of funds.

Someone doing a wealth transfer? fluffery is about.

Unfortunate I was broke at the time.

I was handbanana. Sadly ended reset with over 200 turns in storage.

Demo indy is as big a thing as the 0 military techer I played a couple weeks ago. Do not recommend.
