TOPIC: Requirements to make nuclear launch should go down

I mostly see people sell nuclear launches for about 15 million, but when I take a look at the crafting requirements it doesn't make sense at all.

To craft a nuclear launch you need the following:

• 150 steel
• 500 uranium

The current average market price for these components are 35k for steel and 50k for uranium. This means that the mats themselves for making the nuclear launch is worth this much.

• 150 x 35.000 = 5.250.000
• 500 x 50.000 = 25.000.000

Just the mats are worth 30 million in cash, but nuclear launches are sold for 15 million.

To make a suggestion, please follow the template!

But you get 2 nukes.....

Nuclear sells for around 15 because people print uranium and craft steel to craft Nukes. When you craft atm, you get double the outcome.

Makes a lot more sense determine the amount of work required to make one, but I hardly see anyone go below 30k.

Another thing to take into account is that you can get a nuclear launch blueprint from a blueprint case. Reducing the price to craft one to 5M.
Also as stated above, usualy the price of 1 uranium rod is 10K and steel goes for around 20K. The price are so high right now because of the event going on. And like someone said when you craft one, you get two. So one craft is essentialy only half the price even if we take into account how much you value steel and uranium that actualy makes a nuke cost 15M to craft.

"To craft a nuclear launch you need the following:

That's true.

The basis of your question is completely flawed - the market would quickly correct itself if it's materials didn't correlate with the final product's cost. If one person were to find out the materials costed $5 million then it would spread and nukes will be bought until people sell it for the price of the crafted nuke ($15 million).

The price of uranium skyrocketed because of the nerve gas glitch, not much due to anything else. People only really craft nukes or nerve gas, and that takes a great amount of uranium to be balanced (the printer itself takes forever).

Your confusion comes from the double crafting update. That's true, a crafted nuke is worth 15 mil. The problem is that there's a double crafting update and from 150 steel (150 x 37500 = $5.625 mil) and 500 uranium (500 x 45000 = $22.5 mil) are about ($22.5 mil + $5.625 mil = $28.12 mil) $28.12 mil. Distribute that among (2) crafted nukes. and you can predict the price of a nuke, which is $14.06 mil. If the current nuke price is $15 mil you should probably sell them, and buy back when the market prices correct itself and make easy reselling profits if you really do know what you're doing.


Summary: Nuke price is $15 mil, mats add up to 28 mil, 2 nukes crafted at a single time, nuke = 14-16 mil during this update

Already cheap enough, price for gluon would go down even more and its already overpowered enough especially for the price.
