No Bid Contracts on Avalon

[Dupree]

Attention FOs. Allow this to serve as notice that Avalon is open to any all factories (up to the point that WTG are available). Come one come all. However there are some guidlines:

1) Avalon really needs Sensamps - should a dispute arise preference WILL be given to those Factory owners of Sensamps factories outing to the EX

2) Only 1 factory per -18 units of "DAILY PROD" may output to the EXCHANGE. (to get the production run down visit this link: Production Details ) For example ARTS, only ONE arts factory may be built which has output set to the EX.. (you may build MORE than 1 Arts factory but only 1 can output to the EX).

3) Try not to start a wage war...should i find a wage war going on I will take actions to stop it.

4) I have large stockpiles and low prices so take all you want from the EX....we will make more.

Happy Fedding.

Dupree,

Thank you for contacting me last night. I am planning to build 2 sensamp factories (output to ex), 1 arts factory (output to ex), and 2 firewalls factories (output to ex) on Avalon. I may add another sensamp factory later on. According to your guidelines this should work out fine, but please contact me soon if you forsee any problems.

Note that I currently have two arts factories running on the planet, one as a placeholder. I will remove it as soon as my company can afford to build the other factories, probably in two or three days.

Best Regards,

Sephorin

The only caution I have about your plans for expansion is to keep an eye on the WTG not sure if there are enough to support all those facs...but I could be wrong I haven't crunched the numbers or anything.

Oh and Avalon is most appreciative of your investment!

Also Avalon cannot support any Firewall facs unfortunately note that the Daily Prod is -8 it has to be lower than or equal to -18 in order for you to be able to output to the EX please either set the output to the depot and sell a max of 7 bays PER DAY to Avalon and/or haul out or trade in the Firewall for a different fac.

Dupree,

Oops. I was looking at the wrong planet exchange analysis when I planned those Firewalls. That's a bit of a dilemma because I wanted to mostly build factories that would be useful to you. Since I've already built one firewalls, I'll go ahead and keep that for now (and output to my depot and sell a max of seven bays per day to Avalon).

I'll also build one sensamp and two nanofabs (all output to exchange). I'll have to do quite a bit of hauling for the nanofabs, but that at least gives you four factories total that are useful to you. Depending on how things go with my factories on other planets, I may sell one of my two arts on Avalon and replace it with two sensamps and a unis.

So for right now thats:
1 sensamp (to ex)
1 firewall (to depot)
2 nanfab (to ex)
2 arts (one to ex, one to depot)
Total labor: 1010

How does that sound to you? I'll take another look at the charts tomorrow and see if I can come up with anything better. If I'm going to be using all of your labor, I want to have more factories that will help you.

Okay, how about this setup instead:
1 Nanofab (output to ex)
2 sensamps (output to ex)
1 Unis (output to ex)
2 arts (1 output to ex, the other hauled off planet)

That's a total of 1010 labor, and five of the six facs will be helping Avalon. Let me know how that setup sounds to you.

At present I have 2 arts, 1 firewalls, and 1 unis on Avalon. My next build will be Nanofab. Then I will sell the firewalls and replace it with sensamps.

[sephorin]

Dupree,

I had one other thought, but I couldn't get your e-mail address to work so I'll post it here. I could keep the firewalls and sell one of my arts factories. That would leave you with 230 labor with which you could probably lure in someone to build sensamps and/or nanofabs. On the other hand, I know that planetary unemployment is going to begin contributing to disaffection soon, so perhaps you would prefer to see all of your labor used.

Let me know which setup would work better for you:
1. 2 arts, 2 senamps, 1 unis, 1 nanofab
OR
2. 2 sensamps, 1 unis, 1 nanofab, 1 arts, 1 firewalls

Hi sephorin I really appreciate your thoughtfulness!! Really all of those options sound just fine by me so whichever works best for you, go for it. In terms of the labor Avalon is an Agri planet so dissaffection will not play a role ever (only at the higher levels does it matter).

So use all the labor force use part again whatever works best for your company...if Avalon benefits also even better! in short so long as your facs don't overfill my defs you can do whatever you want.

[sephorin]

Dupree,

Okay. If it truly doesn't matter to you, I'll go ahead and go with the first setup I posted (2 arts with one to ex, 2 sensamps to ex, 1 unis to ex, 1 nanofab to ex). At this point I'm also planning to haul in nanofab from a factory I have on another planet, so you will in effect have two nanofab factories.

Thank you very much. Just do keep me in the loop if you decide to promote at some point.

no time soon I am -23Mig in the hole and about 20 builds away from a promotion....so you will probably have a planet before I promote...8^)

Aw, Dupree...that puts you miles ahead of my previously mistreated planet, Mersun. It is a whopping -109 megs in the hole and with making a max of 3 megs of profit each day, it is gonna be a loooong time before I can even afford a build! LOL Perhaps we should have a contest?

[Dupree]

ha! Well my deficit is due to Jacking up my stockpiles at the end of last year..which put me -80Mig in the hole. Since then the planet itself has climbed ~50Mig so If i take the time to walk my exchanges down....I would probably be in the black.

Dupree,

A quick update. I relocated my nanfab factory to another planet that has the inputs available. I will continue shipping in two factories worth of nanfab to Avalon, however.

Best,

Sephorin
