It's also a completely awful strat, but hey it brings me joy to inflate the bushels market ;-)

The 40/acre is a great rule of thumb. I had good luck applying that and 81.695 at 1900ish.

https://www.eestats.com/techcalc Says 81.69012

UI says 81.7

But do check my work on Alpha. I plan to later tomorrow if I get time

That was a brilliant reminder. 5234 mil tech for a 1 acre demo to hit 36 bushels.

CS. If it we're MB it would really harm my sale prices, right?

Sooooooo. I went for broke and made it to 5020 mil tech on one acre as demo. Still not seeing 36.

According to the eestats tool, that's well into the 81.698ish territory.

I might not have the patience to shred bushels again to try in the morning, but it was a fun go.

Working on it. If I don't post again 81.70 must've been required :-D

81.72 also isn't enough

I'm definitely running out of runway here :-D

Nice.

That is 81.69 according to the tool.

Yup, I'm using the eestats calculator to figure what my current effective tech is at, since the UI rounds up to 81.8

Is it just that I need to get it to round down to 81.7 in the UI? (81.74 actual?)

81.77% effective tech doesn't achieve 36 sell price. I'm curious what percent would

81.77 isn't enough :-/

See you next week

Wow, and folks have that kind of cash?

Using the Teching chart on eestats makes "max tech" seem impossible. Is something like 82 or 81.97 enough to get there?

(I kinda want to try this sometime but can't figure the formulas.)

Your "market simulator" playstyle depends on a fairly broken game already.

The formulas that your optimal growth depend on for netting demand lots of dumb cattle to farm (bots that provide no-downside acreage) and folks afraid of (turret demand) jerks doing dumb things (jets demand).

Personally, I would like the game even more if we all had to weigh risk/reward for every grab. That would open more interesting and valid playstyles.

Additionally, it would be interesting to see servers that do not grade on net worth, but instead other criteria (Perhaps first to grab from Ruritania, or grab the most acreage from Ruritania, or just total number of acres held at round end.)

Definitely Trouble.
