Coal has dropped so much in price… I’ll quickly change request baskets that were paying much more than your sell prices and head your way if I run low on supplies
Yeah i just got nervous realising my baskets are set way higher than this and I’m not able to get online- then i remembered a happy gatherer took my coin yesterday. Phew!
Can anyone answer me why people buy only raw coal?
Just wondered, since opening I have only sold raw coal, no compact.
I have a sign up which gives heat amounts for each, even a sign which show cost per heat for each fuel, showing compact hard coal as best value for money, but still only sell loose coal.
Anyone who buys coal like this give me any clues as to why?
I would guess that the coal price is cheaper than the compacted.
Let’s figure it out.
1 Hard coal provides 15,000 spark
Compact Hard coal mass craft at your cost of 40c each (not including spark) is 360 x 40 =14400c
Factor in Spark cost at 0.02 each x 22,904 (the amount of spark it takes me to mass craft the hard coal with a few advanced coils) = 458c for the mass craft. *note, I had decimals at 2 places, so the spark cost might be off but gives a rough idea).
Total cost for me to mass craft hard coal is 297c each when buying hard coal at 40c.
Let me know if my math is wrong or if I’ve missed something… but if you’re selling compact hard coal at 500c, is the extra 200c I would pay worth the hassle of a mass craft and wear and tear etc? Judging by the small sales, I would guess not.
Well, your coal prices are great, so perhaps test them a little higher and bring down the price of the compact coals to be comparable with mass craft figures. All the best with it
I used to sell the compacted hard coal at Fidach’s price aswell and didnt had trouble, think he needs to give it some time.
Once ppl get to know the location they will return.
Mats are so easy to get now I think most people compact themselves. I can easily have a smart stack of hard and medium coal after a diamond or emerald run.
