Value system for farming products

We have to give products made from base items a value, depending on production steps = complexity, energy need.

Formula

Production steps = 1 * nr of steps (≥2)
Energy units = 1 * number of units needed
If we need ≥ 3 base items (e.g. flour, citrus mash), we use the multiplier k. k is for now 1.6 When the input number = output number, no mulitplier (e.g. glass). If we need ≥ 3 different items to make a product, we add j = 0.5 to mulitiplier k

Formula: value = k x production steps x (energy units + 1) / 4
If we don't need any energy, the value equals the production steps * k

As starter: 1 value unit = 1 Minegeld. We can adapt the value then with the divider at the end, for now = 2.

Products

• Tofu [11|4] 13.3*5/4 = 17
  2x {sand >> water bottle [3|1]}
  {soybean 3 > raw soymilk [1*k|0]}
  {raw soymilk > soymilk [1|1]}
  {citrus fruit 3 + water bottle > citrus mash [1*k|0]}
  {citrus mash > citrus juice [1|1]}
  {citrus juice + soymilk 2 + salt > tofu [1*k|0]}
• Citrus juice [5|2] = 5.6*3/4 = 4
  {sand >> water bottle [3|1]}
