The Waistelands is growing a new economy and we need to encourage traders to trade our buildings while we are off skilling, ranking or otherwise “doing something else”.

Up until recently the prices used in our buildings were heavily focused on providing a high profit margin to the building owner.

This meant the trader did a lot of hard work, using up their APs every day – and didn’t get a huge return for their efforts.

Conversely, the building owner, like an absent landlord, made a very good return – taking the lion’s share of profits for no ongoing effort.

As a result we have always struggled to find regular and reliable traders for our sectors.

To encourage traders to our sectors the focus on profits has had to change. We need to ensure that traders have a reason to trade our buildings – and to trade them regularly and reliably.

Based on location (and predominantly on the availability of Food, Water and Energy) there are different pricing structures in play across our sectors. Broadly speaking a building is either in a sector with an M Class planet, or it isn’t.

To help building owners set the correct trade prices for use within their buildings, the following list shows the buy and sell prices that are to be used (regardless of building level) in all sectors with a Class M planet. Currently this includes buildings in Edvea and Oldain.

If you have a building in a sector with a Class M planet that is not in this list, please get in touch with your Sector Manager in the first instance. Sector Manager for Oldain is currently Sparkle, while the Sector Manager for Edvea is Albian.

Please note that I have set the “Price Sell” amount to 9999 for all instances of the upkeep commodities for a building. Usually you don’t want to sell upkeep for your building – so setting it to a very large number usually ensures people don’t bother buying it from you.

A more reliable way to ensure this doesn’t happen is to set the Min value of the commodity to be higher than the Max value of the commodity. Then nobody can buy your building upkeep at all. This is what most players do.

This building is not really suitable in a sector with an M Class Planet and can only really function if it can be directly supported by a Starbase that can provide Animal Embryos and pay the inflated price for Food and Water produced.
