Buzzles Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Other materials such as steel and the like, electric bills etc, but mainly, game balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeroczar Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) The costs seem a little extreme coupled with the time needed for construction. Edited July 9, 2012 by Zeroczar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The pricing and income is in no way balanced at this point. That's more of something that happens once we are closer to/in beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Because it's a game and it wouldn't be fun if it didn't use the resource "money" . If it doesn't seem realistic it's an acceptable break from reality. There is no point in trying to match up every little game mechanic to real life logic. That being said it should ofc be balanced so that it is fun to play. Are you objecting to the resource cost or the break from real money cost?

Zeroczar Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I find some weapons cost a lot more than they are worth such as the pistol,the armour needs to be buffed also i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Zeroczar, the best thing you can do is to play around with the figures and see what makes sense for you, then put up your findings in the modding forum. manufacures.xml has all the manufacturing details. Bear in mind that whatever you put up may be invalidated in the next build... but what the hell! Didn't stop me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I always assumed the cost was for "non-alien" materials. Also, there are other costs when you build anything besides materials and wages, machine tools, electricity and other energy, clean-up costs, finishing materials (paint, coatings, etc...) and there is also a substantial amount for specialized test equipment and specialized design equipment (computers, software, etc...)

Gorlom Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 HAHAHA polite bots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Seriously though, is there an option for moderating first posts on these forums? If a new visitor to the forums leaves with more links to scam sites than knowledge of the game, then something is wrong. Awaiting the launch of Goldhawk Pharmacom GmbH...

Max_Caine Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 It's not easy to police such things. The only method that's ever really worked is Something Awful's method, where if you want in, it costs you $10. I can only begin to imagine the expression on the collective faces of this forum if Chris suggested that. That being said, our profiles are connected to our ownership of the game. Perhaps it's time to say "members only"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Chris has changed the account creation question so hopefully the bots will start to disappear as the current batch wear out and new ones can't join as easily. Just needs to change it a bit more often or to have a cycle of questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that was stopping a fair number of these things before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
