Oh no...

[woolfoma]

How am I going to trade this to anyone D:

[REMworlder]

Ahahaha.

I bet you can definitely trade it for other sculptures. The funny thing is I don't think traders carry much gold (never more than 1,000?), so with gold sculptures using up 2,000 gold there's an odd net material loss going on. Too bad you can't melt sculptures down for base resources. [edit: I guess you can actually]

When you think about it, gold is bought around 20 silver and 2,000 gold is used in a sculpture. So ending up with an item worth 40,000 is basically just breaking even (or alternately there is added value is in the beauty, or x many milihelens).

Oh, shiny! Grats!

But be careful: when I made one of those, raiders tripled with the next wave...

read the value again, the gold was worth 40,000 but that statue is worth 400,000. I have traded it before, but my game crashed because too many items rained from the sky on the one spot. if a build it, my colonys structure is worth halve a million and the raiders just pour in (only mechs are still coming at me, I befriended all the pirates and tribes).

Beauty has it's prices. I guess you're about to find out the hard way. Good luck!

Congrads you've made a prison beatification device

Oh jebus. Base modifiers OP.

[Tynan]

Yeah, those prices are getting rebalanced in A9.

Yeah, those prices are getting rebalanced in A9.

I hope you also make traders carry more silver in A9. And change the dynamic of their frequency (to avoid situations where you have noone to trade with in the late game.)
