How did you buy 6 eggs for 26 credits? That seems cheap.

[ city name: Sprawlville level 50 player: GAB IV from western mass USA need free gifts ]

I probably did not explain it correctly:

I bought 26 credits and used 22 of my own credits to buy those 6 eggs. The achievement will give me back 25 credits.

Survey time! ...What does everyone think are the best items to produce at each factory both long term and short term? (I've got the Dairy Factory, Milling Plant and Confectionary Plant)

City: MegVille Player: MegFree1013 Level: 26 Need: Free Gifts that count for achievement: fountain & flowerbed

I have 3 farms producing grain and fruit, these then produce my muffins ( once my grain is flour)
3 confectionary for muffins, occasionally I make the fruitcake ( as and when I get mangos)
I have 3 ranches making milk only. To produce cheese ( or milkshake when I get bananas)

Most items I make are 15 mins to produce if I have the items needed. Constantly on the build so making

1365 x2 every 15 mins on cheese
1495 x3 every 15 mins on muffins

Each hour making nearly 11000 per hour in cheese
" " 18000 per hour on muffins

Also make the polythene every 2 mins is nearly 11k x2 ... Constantly producing.

Is anyone on this forum the owner of mracityk? Because this person is über generous to me and I want to thank them. Have received numerous billboards and poplars and even a dragon from them. I try to return what I can, but don't have enough credits to return everything. However, they keep giving. Just want to say thank you if you're reading.

Those look dreamy. I will need to fly out to Oregon sometime soon. Lol. Back from softball practice. Minor injury, while trying to catch a fly ball in the sun, the ball caught the edge of my glove and bonked me on the head. Embarrassing it was. But I hit pretty good. At least I think so lol. I need to go to Costco now for food this week.

Not too many posts here, what's going on?

Aawww, what's happening in portland these days. I am concerned about north Korea. I know there are destroyers near there. They are awesome ships.

Imagine riding on one of those standing with the captain on the quarterdeck. Cruising at 20 knots. We fire 12 5" rounds about 3seconds apart. So while in rolling waves at 30 mph and firing the gun for 36 seconds. 80 seconds go by and you see nothing. Then all, and I mean all 12 rounds hit the same spot, and at the same time ! The land site was totally annihilated.

Gab do you have anything to do with Bath Iron Works? Saw a few ships being launched when I worked there in 1999-2000.

It seems the lower time produced items produce the profit, waiting 30 mins - an hour a more to earn only 1-2k seems pointless. I earn enough in the day to do an upgrade thru the night on something. I will only do the long items if its a required task.

Been there a few times. When the shipyard has issues building new ships and they try, try and try, to fix it. But when the time comes to transfer the ship to the navy, they will call me to fix. Takes a day or two, lol. Was there last sept just prior to DDG 112 taking off. That puppy is in San Diego with more issues. Been helping diagnosing and may end up going there soon.

Small world, I designed at installed the email system to replace their old cc:Mail system, happy days working there and still remember Chicken Quesadilla's at the Beale Street Grill. When I was there they were building Arleigh Burke class ships but the secret squirrels were working on the DD21 next generation to which you referred to in your Korea post.

Was brought all the way over from the UK to work there!

I've gotten into the habit of making cottage cheese, muesli, and muffins for short term production and condensed milk, pet food and candy for long term production. But honestly, I haven't done much research and calculating into it to see if these are the best items to be making for the best profit and return on my time and money that it takes to make them.

Also, with these three buildings in mind, what factory do y'all recommend I get next? Weaving Factory, Toy Factory, Furniture Factory, or Food Plant?

Any input?

City: MegVille Player: MegFree1013 Level: 26 Need: Free Gifts that count for achievement: fountain & flowerbed

Based on what I've heard/seen, I would avoid the furniture and toy factories. Weaving factory and food plant are good because they use outputs from farms and ranches. The others involve other baseline factories and special trucks. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have bought any of the furniture stuff. You can keep a weaving factory producing belts every 10 minutes with one leather and two flax for 2170. Very easy to keep running, but it takes a lot of trucks (6).
