GUIDE UPDATED! Probably the last big update.
Will there be an easy way to see exactly what updates you have made to the guide without needing to pore over it again?
Added Chapter 8, Alcatraz in FAQ section, small changes here and there (such as setting the CF lvl as "??'" in Chapter 6), rewording some sentences to sound more natural, and lots of spelling mistakes (every time I'm editting I seem to find one
).
Hey Dulahan, I noticed you put some goods GBs like ToB and FoD in the "never build" category. From my perspective, I see them as a down-the-road investment. The scenario I'm picturing is when you've already leveled your FP GBs and Att GBs through the golden levels, and are in CE. You can skyrocket these goods GBs at that point in order to have them produce mass amounts of PE goods that you can turn around and sell for FPs. I haven't done the math fpr it, but I think there definitely is a point where those FP for goods trades give you more ROI than anything else. As I'm saying this, I imagine the counter point is that the "Spend X FP" quests will give you tons of goods anyway that you could trade down to PE to sell, which may make this whole idea a moot point. Still, a 4x4 space producing 100-200 PE goods/day seems like it could be worth it.
Now that you made me rethink about it, I can picture a scenario where these GBs are a good choice, but my scenario is different from yours. I predict that Spent FP + CF will overpower GBs that produce goods by far, but these GBs are the only reliable way to get lower era goods. If the production of current era goods is "infinite" (you produce more than what you can sell + downtrade) these lower aged goods might indeed have a great value.
In chapter 8 I've shared lots of ideas that are intertwined and some are related to that topic. Let's hear everyone's opinion on them, I think there is a lot to be dicussed.
PS: I don't want to be a party pooper, and I know this isn't very convincing after awakening my troll blood in my previous post, but please try to keep the off-topic out of this guide.
