From time to time I see bushels on the market at such a low price, it makes me think the reason only reasons could multi or stupidity. If you can sell bushels on private, without tax, for $29, for what reason should a bushel ever be priced under $31?? $31*0.94 = $29.14(I don't think 14 cents extra per bushel is even worth the wait on the market though) I know turrets selling for $50 is ridiculous too. Is this simply a multi thing? Or is there something I just don't know about??

Thanks.

Stupid people

i'm not sure what the absolute minimum price to sell food on private is. it depends on government, tech and military bases, but i've seen it as low as $27 per bushel.

plus people tend to stock food so that they can dump it at the end of the set. so, it's not just a question for farmers.

tmbr goes under 25 i think.

Well if someone wants to store food, I'd assume they wouldn't post it cheap as the idea would be Not to sell.

As far as I knew the price for a bushel is 29 on private market. I think Maybe theocracy would lower it, BUT, who would be a farmer as a theocracy??? Makes no sense.

Especially considering military tech raises the sell price on private market too. And can someone tell me what TMBR stands for?

$23 for theo with no mb's no mill tech. A fully built and teched tmbr is probably around $20 for bushels on private market.

tmbr = theo military base reseller

yea military tech rises priv. price but military bases lower it.

theo farmer has its good points.

^ are you being sarcastic? Theo is about the only bad farmer in my opinion. +50% max population eating your stock then -35% max tech kills your production.

ok thanks for defining acronym. And I have to say, I don't see anyone playing theocracy farmer...Your agri tech is greatly reduced, as well as your Military technology capability. I don't see why someone would even Think of that. So in the end I don't see why anyone would sell for less than $31, and even that is almost breaking even $31*.94 = 29.14 Better to sell on private and lower supply on market in hopes it drives price up for 14 cent profit! :D

So I guess the answer was as assumed. Either people don't quite understand/are newb(which is ok), or it's a mutli thing.

Well at least I was able to voice my opinion about this xD

yea theo as farmer sucks mostly but it gets most profit from public market early than other govts (non-demos) vs priv. market when price is at public at 30-32 and later when price has stabilized to 35-36.

One situation would be a theo techer doing a farm startup.

you mean theo from turn 0?

plus: less turns needed for cs's

bad: 4 bucks less money from bushels than other govts.

I can't imagine a time when theo-farmer isn't a bad choice. As a startup, maybe it's not quite as bad, but it's still bad.

If you were going to do a theo government, either jump straight into techer, start as a casher (to use the population bonus) or at least do indy.
