Economic Overview 2/1/2026

Profitability of Single-Unit Factories

The most profitable companies will be those involved in the extraction of Lead, Iron, and Fish.

It is worth noting that bonuses may have changed, as there was a redistribution of strategic resources last night.

Production Chain Profitability

As expected, the top three production chains include Steel+Iron and Cooked Fish+Fish, but surprisingly, the dominant chain has become Light Ammo+Lead. This shift is likely due to the price increase in Lead and the surge in demand for Light Ammo (more details on this later).

It is important to note that chains involving hired workers are likely to be unprofitable. This is primarily due to the high wages resulting from the large number of job vacancies, while these chains do not factor in the spread of intermediate resources.

Pricing Outlook

Surprisingly, many players are operating companies at a loss, where the cost of PP exceeds the revenue from resource sales. However, this does not necessarily apply to automated or self-sustained operations, where salary payments are not required.

Today, we are witnessing an increase in the price of Light Ammo. A short-term spike in demand pushed the price up to 0.3 per unit, although the price is now beginning to stabilize.

These calculations were based on a wage cost of 0.12 per PP.
