Thanks all, will hang off for a bit before making any changes, see what happens.

It’s easier to count in base units, plus we get the 30-40% bonus ourselves for compacting it.
I think ultimately since everything has a different mass craft bonus, it makes it too confusing and/or unfun to have to sit there and do the math.
I know exactly how much spark 1 unit of soft coal gives, but I can’t tell you exactly how many units of soft coal go into 1 compactSoft or how the price compares. I have to look it up every time.
If you put the cost per spark on a sign nearby that might help. I know I wouldn’t trust you, so I might double check your math, but there may be some who are more trusting.

Haha, I agree, just not after a day of work.
Done it already 
Yeah the issue here is you have to sell the hard coal as if it were going to be compacted…
50 compact (cost 40k spark) nets 71000 spark.
That means 360 hard coal = 71000 potential spark, coming out at around 1970 spark per hard coal.
To players unable to compact, the compact coal is a great deal at 30 spark/c vs hard coal 20spark/c
For those able to compact though, the ratio becomes 30s/c v 49s/c.
I think we’ve established that someone able to compact is buying your hard coal, and non-compactors havent made their way to you for some reason (great prices you have there regardless!)
