60 fleets for immis costing 160k each (what the fleets doing regular trade makes with some boosters)=9.6M
8k GB=20M
100k food 0,4M
sums up to 30 M every day (not counting all the other goods needed to be transported around to keep plantations working)
All this after paying leases and 800 creds worth about 200mil
In return I get a production valued at about 4 mil. That's from working my workers 8/hrs/day Could possible go up to 6-8, still a very bad deal.
Aye. I have already dropped 2 plantations and fired all the workers. Plantation in Seaglory is absolutely useless. You sell Cotton back to port at 1 gc. Since every fleet I have is dedicated to bringing in workers and supplies, there is no profit in Seaglory now Neopolis
This may change when other port buildings are added, but right now that is the case.
