When I had 8+ farms up…it was worth it. No fighting for materials, and I made lots of coin from the goods. Value is all in the eyes of the beholder though. If you can continue to make ingame revenue from the farms…go for it.

I use the farms that @bucfanpaka has on her planets and I almost dedicate a full day in her hub going from planet to planet mining and a few hours every few days hunting roadrunners/hoppers. While it isn’t very profitable for her, I’d be happy to donate Oort or extra materials I mine to her as she has put a lot of time and money into the game.
Now to get her to play more…

I can second this! Paka has really done alot for the community on the farms. She really knows her stuff on the gem planets and so on! I’ve even chipped in on a few planet renewals back when I was smashing rocks on her planets.

Thank you both @Redlotus and @ardele!! 
It makes me happy if others are getting use from them. I’m feeling like I might be getting back into it more though. 
I’m sort of all over the place I admit but working on some building lately.
I personally find myself using the hunting grounds more than the mining on the rentals these days. Fun and pretty mindless but still a little exciting to get trophies and all… plus seeing Oort drop from Roadrunners too.

Honestly…I don’t feel welcome here anymore. I want answers but am getting nowhere. If you post here, people just flag it as inappropriate instead of getting to know WHY I am so vocal. I feel ripped off…

This may be an unpopular answer and I am sorry if people don’t like it. I have a son who is a big gamer. When he was a kid I paid for all of his gaming stuff. My question for you is what does your mother get out of this transaction? Will you do extra chores, cut back on something else or make it beneficial to her in some way? You shouldn’t be expecting her to just pay for this without being willing to do something for her in exchange.

Well we can take it to a PM if you want before getting too off-topic here, but you were never not welcome by me and I appreciate you being vocal and speaking your mind. I rather like having perspectives from both sides even if I don’t agree one way or the other.
Unless it’s my mom who just buys me stuff

This may be an unpopular reply, also sorry if it offends, but I’m not sure about the implication that a child owes their parent something for the support they get. They did not choose to be bought into this world. Yes as a parent you defiantly need to teach your children about working for their money/earning things, but that is for the parent to initiate, not something the child should have to take on as a burden for every meal put on there plate.
It would be a shame if a parent bought a child into the world with the obligation of having to pay the parent back for any effort they had to put in. This in my eyes would lead to bitterness from both parties…

Yeah kids sure don’t owe parent for giving them food, water, a home that stuff is what u owe ur kid for bring them into this world
You know, I should probably start documenting the expenses for my kids so I can bill them when they turn 18.

Here’s something copied and pasted from the web I kind of debate the total of but:
In its Expenditures on Children by Families report, the USDA puts the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 at $233,610 for a middle-income family (married with two kids) — around $12,980 per year .

Raising your kids well and taking care of their health, safety and general welfare is one thing. Being expected to hand over $10 willy-nilly because they want something that is, at the end of the day, frivolous, is another matter all together. I know I am going to sound old and all but when I was growing up a kid helped out around the house and got an allowance. When it was gone you had to wait until the next allowance period.
Anyway, getting a planet just to farm it seems like a waste of money to me unless you are really, really going to stick with it, watch what colors are out there and change it as necessary to get the things you like that are hard to find.
Meh everyone is different the way I see it is how often they ask. If someone asked for 10 dolloar things every five seconds i would make em do an allowance but if they are like me and only ask for things every once in a while then they don’t need a allowance.
I have figured out when to ask my mom for stuff, as to not annoy her. I also understand that it’s real money and not stuff that grows off trees

I’m officially middle-aged (early forties, I think) and I don’t have, I won’t ever have, and don’t want (and won’t ever want) to have children … and I am poor as all heck.
