Does it really make a ton of sense for the price of the Blasted Almanac tech to be 1 refined material and 10 base materials from the same tree? That seems to really skew it towards sand miners, and seems to make it difficult to obtain with an early-game economy when people aren't really trading refined materials.
Perhaps require 1 Aluminum (to write the Blasted Almanac on) instead of the 1 glass?

I think it's supposed to be an espoinage/seeing/optics type thing, that Glass is the specialist at doing.

I understand that, but Glass + Sand + Food seems kind of tilted. What's the difference in saying 3 Glass, or 15 Sand? Why 10 Sand, 1 Glass, 5 Food? It really doesn't quite make sense to me here, given that this is the only tech I've seen that requires both base and refined materials in the same type.

I agree, I have not put a lot of thought into balancing tech prices at this time.
I will probably want new players to not be balking at all at the prices in the lower tech tree.

But those tech prices really made you feel like you'd achieved something... Hope you kept the upper end pricy!  |

Actually I took them down a fair bit, they were totally obscene.
You let me know what you think when you get up there, xade.
IJ: There's a big difference between 3 sand and 15 glass. The glass you need a refinery for, the sand you need more space for to build up. You'll find that contrast recurring as you ascend.

The big difference between 3 sand and 15 glass is the fact that 3 sand is 1/25th of 15 Glass. |
