Ok maybe we should have been more exact with the wording there.

This is NOT a cash shop.

You would only be able to trade existing items, that have been created in the game. You wouldn't be able to buy a robot for money that's just created out of thin air. This is merely the extension of the ingame economy to the Steam community market.

I understand the difference however I think the issue the community has with this extension is that it generates a Pay to Win option. It sounds like someone who does absolutely no effort can buy bots and equipment, from other players, to play with using real money.

To be honest I've never ever heard of a game that you have to buy and offers an official pay 2 win option on top of that.

you know that the efficiency of your production depends on the terminals facilities, and your extension?

also, did you calculate the production cost for the symbiont MK1 or did you take the market worth for it?

Actualy I did not know about the terminal's facilities. I assume you mean beta/gamma gives better results?

If I can get better results on PvP islands I might just keep the CT and use it later I guess. Doesn't seem worth crafting on an alpha island with the current extensions I have.

Good point on the Symbiont crafting vs market price. I picked the market price.

Great corp!

I joined this corp as a new player a couple days ago, been bugging them with a lot of questions but I'm finally starting to understand most basics in this game!

They encourage new players to start with PvP right away. No reason not to really.. as you get free PvP bots to play with!

Hey folks,

I decided to start artifact scanning today and I found a Symbiont MK2 CT. (100P 100P)
So far I know I need the following materials:

- Manufacture price (0.16 mill)
- Symbiont (20 mil)
- Niani heavy mech CPU cortex (20 mil)
- 6136 Titanium (0.15 mil)
- 3068 Plasteosine (0.08 mil)
- 3068 Alligior (1.8 mil)
- 614 Espitium (0.3 mil)
- 6136 Briochit (12.3 mil)
- 614 Cryoperine (0.01 mil)

This is a total of 54.8 mil NiCmanufacturing costs.

The Symbiont MK2 is worth 44.5 mil NiC on the market.


It looks like crafting this bot to sell it on the market would make me lose 10 mil.

Did I overlook something? Is there something about the crafting process I don't understand?

Thanks in advance
