Using factories to make money

[Raven]

I hope I'm not the only one that has noticed that there is an opportunity to make money from producing Weapons Cyborgs and ships to sell the traders and with the proceeds buying even more resources to produce even more Weapons Cyborgs and ships to sell the traders and with the proceeds buying even more resources to produce even more Weapons Cyborgs and ships and on and on ad infinitum

I've found Pulse Lasers to yield the most profit even though I can produce Disruptor Canons

[SkulkrinBait]

I'd wondered if it was possible but hadn't really looked into it, so I might start now!

[Shendemiar]

Can put up some figures here to save the trouble...

[Raven]

I've got a spreadsheet at work (but am on holiday for a week), that calculates it based on

resource cost in crystals for resources required to produce 1 unit

how many units a factory produces per hour

against sell price to traders

I'll make another at home but wouldn't have the foggiest how to put it on the forum

It would also be a great help if someone could post the sale prices of all Weapons to traders

as I can only get details on ones I can produce

[Starshatter]

Been selling Cyborgs to get flagships!! Very nice little earner indeed!

[Raven]

Looks like they've put a stop to this by removing Silica from the traders

[Shendemiar]

I just hate when game is a "game made for players" and not a "set of rules imitating reality or something else"

[Raven]

I suspect the update mentioned in the creators hour thread is to address this loop hole

That is unless someone has bought all Silica from the traders

[Raven]

I've got 10 Weapons factories, the capacity upgrade and improvement

in 5 Hrs can convert

Silica 100000
Aluminium 62500
Uranium 50000
Kalamite 32500

at a cost of 1017 Ka Cr from traders (before they pulled Silica off the market)

into 500 Pulse Lasers which can be sold for 2500 Ka Cr

1500 Ka Cr profit .
