Lowering Taxes and Using the Exchange.
I think folks do a great job of using the exchange to help accomplish missions and the like. There has been some talk of using it to process lower level transactions such as the selling of cereals. This, to me, is advantageous because we can avoid both the market tax and the hidden 5% tax of yearly taxes. This is a little more inconvenient but the taxes are so high that it might be better to give it a shot. What sorts of items are folks regularly buying from the market that we can produce as a cooperative?

My wish list (will trade for a bit above market value)
ReplyDeletemilled cereals (if for some reason you don't want them)
rye ale
rice beer
any fruit we have a wine recipe for
Most of us are baker and only one or two millers in our Co-op. So, the milled cereals provided by millers are only enough for 1 medium size bakery.
ReplyDeleteOn a daily basic, I am interesting on:
3* or 6*/7* wheat flour, 4*/5* cow milk/butter, 7* rye/rice flour/ cornmeal
Sometimes, I need:
4*-7* milk& rennet, 7* fruits those can make into wine, 7* cereals, 7* manure & chicken bones, 7* garlic.
Sometimes, I sell:
7* pomace, 4* chicken meat/bones/manure, 3* butter. Please let me know in advance if you need some of them :)
I grow all cereals for making feed except for alfalfa and barley which I always buy from the market, so if someone else grows these and has extra I'd be willing to buy them every year.
ReplyDeleteI've also been buying about 200 extra 7* wheat, oat, corn, and soybean since I started raising cows. So I'd also be happy to buy anyone's surplus.
Like most of the others I also buy 7* wheat flour from the market.
I only keep 1 heifer and drink most of the milk every turn but when she gets to 4* I don't mind selling the milk on the board if you need it.
I suggest that sellers to put one sample on the Exchange and put a note like "This is 1 sample. I have 200 for sale." Don't put the full quantity on the Exchange as your transaction will be deducted immediately. Anyone who wants to buy them can message to the Seller how many they want to buy.
ReplyDeleteIn this way, the seller will only lose 1 transaction if there is no buyer for the item. Also if the buyer want part of it, the seller don't have to delist and relist the item in the correct quantity requested by the buyer, and therefore lose lots of transactions. The buyer can also see the * and freshness of the item before deciding to buy. Once the item has been completely sold, the seller must cancel the 1 sample on the Exchange.
I think most of us would required about the same raw materials. Usually excess are meat, rennet, fish. You may want to try parternship with certain members so that the supply/demand are more stable.
ReplyDeleteIf we need to buy extra lands, how when it lag of fund? Earn by mission? By the way i only have 9 lands for doing some mission i can achieve and another 1 is Tomato i trying to expand it. I also can help here for COOP. What you all guys need just go COOP list there look what i have and what mission i going at that time can ask from me. That all the way i can help by now.
ReplyDeleteLand gets expensive so there's nothing you can do but save up your money and buy when you can. I suggest you build at least one workshop to help you earn money faster. Since you already have tomatoes, a winery would be a good choice. You can also use your extra land to grow carrots, potatoes, and turnips to make several country wines.
ReplyDeleteSome of the cooperative in US server offer loan to smaller farmers in their co-op, so that they can have more land to grow different type of crops for missions.
ReplyDeleteIf I have $10K, I can only buy one plot of land, but smaller farmer can buy 2 plot of land. It's the reason...
yuhlun, I can buy your 7* tomatoes, 7*oat and 7* alfalfa if you need some money for farm expansion in Spring.
