You can sell food in Express, but oil stands on the last place of selling items. When you play other tyepes of games here, it is difficul. Soemtimes i sells my oil. Can you set sell oil one place higher in Express. I never sell my oil by mistake, when you change the two.

Niek

before set ends you can convert oil to private market units to spend cash in hand.

when you convert, you have to convert and then buy units right? or it just converts? newbie here

oh; hm

yes you have to manually convert oil to priv units.

I'm surprised at how many people want the game to change cause of misclicks. Misclicks like this never happen to me Lol. Turn up the brightness on your computer screens :P

^liar

I misclick sometimes... I have lost significant NWs, for it...

bought out my private market food in tournament last set when I wanted to jump, didnt matter rank wise(yes I got ranks lower but I was not gonna win so I don't care).

did oil booms instead of food booms some times, and pci booms as indy etc.

Do I think the game should change because of these? No, this happens because I'm unattentive and because I don't see a reasonable game change to solve it.

but someone suggested in another thread that the "build-cash-explore" should be changed to "explore-build-cash" so that cash and explore are not next to each others, considering the pages look so damned similar. I think that, or changing the design of one of the pages, would be a sensible change, so why not? not a prioritized change but its very easy to implement.

I think he's referring to the placement of OIL & FOOD between two different servers.

On EXPRESS oil is the last item, both on purchasing and selling items.
On TEAM oil is not even on the menu. So it causes food to be the last item in the menu.

Lots of time when you play the game you start to reference fields by their placement rather than reading the label.
I can see his frustration.

I'm not really sure why the buy/sell oil option isn't available on other servers as well. It's not like it would drastically change the game if it existed.

I disagree actually, the safe sell option will make fascists who start oiler make more money than any other strat before public market and before sales. it makes sense to have that in express but not in team, alliance primary etc...

Would incentivise rigs too hard that would crash the market and get stuff stuck once OOP.

They can still play delayed and sell on public. It wouldn't make much difference.

As for your reference of oiler making the most:
Only one govt type really benefits more in the beginning ( F ) . And it's marginal. For each oil field created an acre of non-techable land is built.

Some gov't types, make more.

1000 * 1.5 * 80 = 120000 (oil)
1000 * 5.3 * 29 = 153700 (farms)

You can get the food market 100+ coming oop in express celphi.

I've done it with a demo with military tech.

Yeah, I know. The context of the discussion is aimed at other servers besides EXPRESS.

What if we just added an extra line break between bushels and barrels?

What about a double confirmation box saying "Are you sure you want to sell... list of goods"
