dCrops - Furnace, Kiln and Saw Mill

I am looking at moving to the next level of dCrops. However I need to be very careful not to jump into it without giving it a little planning beforehand.

In a post I shared a few weeks ago, I discussed the starter equipment: Furnace, Kiln and Saw Mill.

Cost of Already Constructed Starter Equipment

This past week, I was looking to see what it would cost if I just purchased those three (Furnace, Kiln or Saw Mill) on the market instead of constructing from raw material.

• Furnace: Costs 12.450 Hive
• Kiln: Costs 15.000 Hive
• Saw Mill: Costs 21.00 Hive

Breaking Starter Equipment Into Component Cost

To me, this is a little higher than I would like to spend at this point in time. So I pulled up the templates for those three items and the associated costs on the market for constructing from raw material.

• Furnace template: Costs 0.450 Hive or 240.000 CROP
• Kiln template: Costs 0.250 Hive or 350.000 CROP
• Saw Mill template: Costs 0.240 Hive or 100.00 CROP

I needed to also understand which was the least expensive to use for the purchase - Hive or CROP tokens. The going price for CROP tokens is 0.00362 Hive per CROP token. By doing the calculation so that I can see which to use in the purchase.

• Furnace template: Costs 0.450 Hive or 240.000 CROP (0.8688 Hive)
• Kiln template: Costs 0.250 Hive or 350.000 CROP (1.267 Hive)
• Saw Mill template: Costs 0.240 Hive or 100.00 CROP (0.362 Hive)

Before I did this calculation, I was thinking it would be better to use CROP tokens to make the purchase however by doing this simple calculation, it is very easy to see that buying the templates with Hive is the much better option.

Oversight in Prior Post

I had an oversight in my prior post. The cost of the Plot that are needed to construct from a template was not reflected. I only mentioned the resources that were needed for the construction.

Land Converts to Plot

You would need to purchase the Farmland to be able to construct the starter equipment from the templates. This is the part that I did not see or take into consideration when creating my prior post. I was only focusing on the resources and not the actual land that must be used to house the equipment.

It appears that one Fertile Land will convert to two Fertile Plots. However you will need three Fertile Plots to use the template for construction so you will need to own at a minimum two Fertile Land to start off with.

A Fertile Land would cost you 3.990 Hive or 1998.000 CROP tokens.

The costs is always changing so the various components may be more expensive or cheaper if you would going to purchase them separate. Please do your own calculation because the market is very fluid and price tend to change very quickly. The costs I show in above or in my prior posts will most likely be different than what you will see when you look the same items up on the market.
