5% price increase =$100,000,000 research cost?

Are you for real? It costs about $33,000,000 to increase production of the fruit cake by 5% for each research, but we have to pay $100,000,000 to increase its price by FIVE PERCENT. Seriously? This is absolutely unrealistic and totally ridiculous! Hasn't the gourmet farm 'restructuring' already cost us dearly and while we pay through the nose, the prices we are getting for gourmet farm products are much lower than previously. No wonder so many are considering quitting...:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

    Not sure where you're getting these numbers but in order for our co-op to do the 5% increase research we only need 1,500,000 research costs to start.

    Georgenollieuse, I think you are talking apples and oranges. You are likely talking about increasing 'yield' (how many cakes you get each production). This is specifically talking about increasing FRUIT CAKE PRICE (COST at which you will be selling fruit cakes) by 5% where, after you fund 27 researchers at $249,690/each, you need to pay 100 mlllion farm dollars to START the research. Oh, and then it takes 8 days for the research to complete. Look it up under research/gourmet recipes/Dazzling Glory Level 1. I do think the cost for what you get is utterly ridiculous.

    nana2828, not really connected to the opening post but you say the researcher costs $249,690. That is true for you. The dollar cost of a researcher, any researcher, is totally dependant on the level of the farmer, and not connected to the research nor the research's level nor the level of the co-op

    I was only speaking of my own coop, Samty, and the issue here is the horrendous cost of starting this research. I am totally used to the cost of covering quarter million dollar researchers :) But why does the start of the research cost 3 times as much as any other research cost we've ever started? And why for such a low increase in cost?
    I really would like to hear a reasonable answer

    You are right - my bad . . . cannot read this morning. I have to take your word on it then because it is still locked for me . . . our co-op is a little late to the whole gourmet research part of the game - still working on main farm research.

    Samty, are you telling me that each farmer in my own coop is paying a different price for the researcher in any given research we are doing? I am paying 1/4 million and someone else may be paying 100,000? Hmm, never knew that

    Yes, we all pay differently according to our own level.

    Very, very roughly it is $8500 + $1445 per level.

    The higher your level the more it costs to participate in research. We try to get the lower level people to participate in the research and the higher level to donate the money to start the research.
    I am level 84 and it costs me 146,160 to participate in the whip up a storm level 2.

    it does depends because sometimes I have to pay 165,000 and im a level 37 sometimes it is as low as 130,00 but nothing lower if I chose to use gold it is between 250-850 in gold :(

    This is GGS attempt to make the game harder. Reduce profits and increase costs.
