Machine Prices

[Babalonkie]

Quick question, i have noticed going into summer that the machine prices are increasing alot.

Is this normal? Is the game just imitating demand over the season and does it lower again?

It is by design. Supply and demand... and summer is high demand. The cheapest time to buy anything is the last day before permafrost.

Does the similar logic apply to gold price? When is the best to sell?

Good question. I only sell when the stocks are low but have no idea if the stocks system is based on more factors than just the amount of gold you sell them.

yes the gold prices fluctuate too, think of it as supply and demand, less gold extracted in the winter, and less machinery sold, so lower machinery prices and higher return on gold, more gold extracted summer and selling more machines, machine prices go up and gold prices go down, i personally work all season with whatever i got, turn in all my gold and buy whatever machine i want the last day before permafrost, im in season 4 with full t5 setup, all my machines (including 5 frankensteins) a worker for every machine and i still have 2.5 million$ to spare and im only about halfway through old arnold

you should sell when the gold is high not low, will give you more money, in the bank tab, there will be a stock option, it will tell you the gold prices there

I said stocks mate lol low stocks means the bank will pay more for gold ;)

I was just unsure what the factors were for the stocks, but you answered that with your other reply
