πŸ₯‡ Top 3 (Profit / Point)

⛓️ Iron – Portugal (deposit)

0.12464
⬆️ strongest number on the board

Pure timing play. Great today, irrelevant once/if the deposit ends.


πŸͺ¨ Limestone – Venezuela (deposit)

0.12006
⬆️ climbs into #2

Deposit + specialization keep limestone competitive, good strategic move on Venezuela since USA got hit by a wrecking ball.


🧲 Lead – Serbia (deposit)

0.11544
βž– steady

Lead stays efficient


πŸ“‰ Big Moves vs Jan 29

  • 🧱 Concrete: 0.113 β†’ 0.110
    ⬇️ slow erosion continues, but still best non-deposit factory

  • πŸ”« Ammo: 0.100 β†’ 0.115
    ⬆️ biggest gainer β€” ammo benefits from price movement despite higher lead costs

  • πŸ’£ Heavy Ammo: 0.098 β†’ 0.107
    ⬆️ partial recovery, still mid-tier

  • πŸ₯© Steak: 0.092 β†’ 0.105
    ⬆️ bounce back as livestock pressure eases


😬 Bottom of the Table (Still Worth Mentioning)

🍞 Bread – Brunei

0.08009 β†’ 0.10427
⬆️ rebound, but still not competitive with top options

❄️ Cocaine – Latvia

0.07948 β†’ 0.08631
⬆️ better, still terrible for 200 production points

πŸ“Œ Jan 30 TL;DR

  • Iron tops the chart, but only because of deposits

  • Concrete remains the best long-term, non-deposit choice

  • Ammo quietly becomes relevant again

  • Steak recovers from yesterday’s crash

  • Heavy ammo stabilizes, not dominates

  • Cocaine remains a trap no matter what
