Yo Sheepy, what is this math

I'll keep it a bit short, it's 4:53 AM as I'm typing this.

"Expected Daily Profit per improvement at a market value of $4,374 PPU: (3 Uranium/day * 3990 PPU) - $5,000 Operating Cost = $11,470"

Let's go by this:

Here, you say, "it assumes you're selling all generated resources at average trade prices."

The issue, as can be clearly seen, is that uranium has two prices attached to it. I cross-checked, at the time the screenshot was taken, $3,390 was indeed the average. price. What is the $4,374 price in relation to?

I included food because that functions 'fine'.

---------

Let's assume the profit figure (which will be wrong if you don't take into account pollution -> potential disease inc -> increase in deaths -> less comm income) uses $3,990 as it's avg. price. 3 x 3,990 = 11,970. Upkeep is $5,000, Sheepy, not $500. Your end result (11,470) is what you would get if you subtracted $500 from 11,970, not $5,000.

Fix dis.

--------- 

If I didn't know better (maybe I don't), I'd say this is a ploy for more people to produce uranium, and thus bring prices down, xdxd.

Why not add the same values to manufacturing buildings? This seems like a great tip for new players who are deciding what to make for profit.

I do intend to do this eventually.
