Just to make the maths transparent: Schrullige Tintenfische came back and we made 550 Pfennigs. 210 were used for trinkets, leaving us with 340 to split 4 ways for 85 Pfennigs, or 8 groschen and 5 pfennigs, each.

For now, I'm interested in atleast 20% in a ship, which I cannot afford. However, if you guys end up needing just 10 to 15% to finish the ship, I'll pitch in this turn. Would happily put in 2 florins for 20% of a lumbermill though.

This remains true.

Arright, I'll write up the contract, and see who else bites.

The lumber will be sold to the market at prevailing prices, the upkeep deducted from the sales and the profits then distributed, according to shares held, to the shareholders. Any change in the operation of the Lumberyard must have atleast a 75% agreement between shareholders.

I've got to invest in something soon, but I'd honestly rather a ship, or in light of rising trinket prices, possibly a glassblower's shop. I'll run some math though.

It seems a ship + 10 trinkets will currently cost 12 Florins, 3 Groschen. A stake of, oh 25%, should return... 10 loads of sand, 5.5 florins, in 2 months is 2.25 florins per month, times the 25% share is about 0.56 florins per months, so a return in 6 months (more like 8 with living expenses). Of course, the real appeal is sending it somewhere more profitable when that's discovered.

The lumberyard operates without overhead and makes... well, about the same. 2.5 florins per turn, before lumber prices go down. And if they do that too much, you can't change what the lumberyard produces.

At current prices, a glassblower's shop makes 2.52 Florins per turn, while paying 0.55 florins, so it's not worth it right away.

You know what though? At this rate the lumber yard's probably getting built before I can change anyone's mind so I'm just gonna buy in.

My math tells me that a lumberyard makes 2.5 florins a turn, minus 1 for upkeep for 1.5 profit a turn. Sand coming in at 5.5 currently, minus 2.1 for trinkets, leaves 3.4 profit every two turns, or 1.7 a turn. (I was expecting it to function like the original where it was 2 turns roundtrip and then 1 turn in the docks. The fact it really is 2 turns turnover makes a big difference). Yeah, that means it's a little more profitable even now, but it also costs more just to get started, since it also includes the trinket cost to buy the ship. I wanted a higher percentage than I could afford for a ship, so went with a lumberyard.

A plus is if the lumberyard does help decrease wood prices, then the ship prices ALSO go down, which will hopefully aid my next ship investment. And another plus: with a lumberyard, I no longer need to worry about living expenses, as its per turn. YES, I didn't really need to before, but it was playing on my mind

[a1s]

Ship prices will not go down, ship costs will (for a ship yard.)
The fluff is that the old king had some ships already built and the new government is selling them off for 10 florins apiece, since a standing navy is un-libertarian. It's unclear why they just gave a ship to Forscher (doing things for the benefit of one's country is also un-libertarian) but they had a spare one and he promised to return it, so I guess it all works out. 

Also, you can expect next turn tomorrow, so if there's anything else you want to do now is the time.

Turn 6
TURNTURNTURN

Verkenning Geest comes into port with news about a new land to the west called Aloysius Shores. The land is so rich in exotic yellow fruit, that the locals use it as a unit of measurement. The small amount brought back quickly becomes a sought after delicacy. Quest: The first unit brought back will sell for triple price!

In other news, local artisans set up a bottling workshop slightly raising the demand on sand.

Finally a new Lumberyard by the name of Dochen Holz is opened and will produce 5 units of lumber per turn. It will be immediately sold on the market as per agreement.

Market

• Lumber: 5 Groschen / Unit
• Trinkets: 2 Groschen 1 pfennig / Unit
• Sand: 6 Groschen / Unit
• Bananas (None available): 8 Groschen / Unit
• Ships (while supplies last): 10 Florins / Ship

[Kashyyk]

Did Dochen Holz produce Logs/cost revenue the turn it was bought?

[a1s]

Well it was bought on turn 5 and it's now turn 6. So it produced 5 logs by now. (And sold them at a 1.5 florin profit.)
