It doesn't seem worth it when you can build on a regular plot for 10 times less the TC...I guess it all depends on what PP yr workers are.
I think I'll do one straight off, do the math and then see!
If the TCs mean the SPS distribution is limited, might make using them worthwhile, I mean one may as well use the TCs!
It's only 450 on Magical!
There's the 100% multiplier, that's likely a factor! I will start one building (the hard way). Magic is a lot less, will start one of those also.
I guess if you make 90% more than the cost of the TCs in the time it wld otherwise take you to build it then it's worth it.
I was looking at a plot with around 50K PP - wld take 8 days to build so I'd need to make $160 worth of SPS in 8 days to make it worth spending the TCs... that's what.... around 10K SPS in 8 days - probably not very likely.
But the grain is more pricey you say?
Damn...
Maybe drop the Q in mavs it sounds like.. just go sloooow!
Grain will get cheap once it's started to get surplus in everyone's kingdoms. It's a way of extracting money from the game, and that's way most people are looking for.
I'm just using Flauwy's calculator, I dropped the post in Discord - to work out clearing days versus TCs.
I think 'cos TCs are a fixed cost and may come in handy later, it's better to wait to develop those occupied and magic plots - do them slow and pay in grain, I mean what's grain gonna be worth a month after the market opens... maybe 20-30% of the notional fee now?
Grain is going to shoot down. When all these other 'commodities' start appearing, peeps will want them, and convert the grain farms to other 'farms'. Then it may rise again. Producing food might be boring but likely wont add to spell components.
I guess a limiting factor is how expensive it is to feed workers - I mean 50% of the supply has to go back in! At Base PP level at least, it's why I spunked 1/4M DEC on totems, it's the only thing you can easily buy that improves that ratio.... forever! (Forever, for now!).
