There's just one company selling Electricity at b2b market and it's really expensive (4$ each). Why Electricity isn't imported?
Is there anyway to get it cheaper?

Somebody is gouging people on electricity. You can make it cheaper yourself, but you need to build a power plant (for $100k). Then you need coal or natural gas, which you can buy from other players or make yourself. The natural gas on the market costs $5 a unit, but each unit makes 12.5 units of electricity for a marginal cost of 41 cents per unit of electricity.

Or, you can make your own natural gas or coal. To do this, you need two more buildings (and another $301k). The prospector R&D building costs $200k and then researching natural gas or coal costs another $1000. Then you need a well (natural gas) or mine (coal) for another $100k, and you're ready to go! I went with natural gas for two reasons. First, the well can also be used to produce water, which you need a lot of; and second, electricity from natural gas costs less per unit (about 5.25 cents versus about 7.8 cents). Either way, don't pay $4 per unit for your electricity, it's a total ripoff.

You're welcome. I'm still getting my power station up and running but soon I hope to have electricity and natural gas to sell at reasonable prices.

I have now a small electricity surplus. I have placed it on the market for a ridiculously high price (over 800% markup), and it's still 8 times cheaper than the other guy's.

I'm now producing my own. That's very easy and great. I'm willing to sell it at 0.50 or 0.45 each.

Okay Karim, if you're just going to buy my cheap power and flip it with a markup, I'm taking my toys home and you can't play with them.

EDIT: Never mind. I thought I put a second batch of electricity out there but I didn't. Sorry.

After a slight miscalculation, I will now be making more electricity than I can use myself. In fact I think I am overproducing soo much that I can power the entire world. Now because I am such a nice guy *cough* I will be selling the electricity for a very reasonable price of $0.16 and I will challenging you to make me run out! Good luck and I should have a batch for the market by tomorrow. (Actually, by my rate of production, much much sooner)

-By the way, I apologize to those who wanted to make money off electricity that I will be flooding it with cheap electricity.

I love how you guys are taking care of the B2B "charity work", so I can forget about that part and focus on other things like coding.

Also apparently there is obviously a problem with electricity, as for a 100 m^2 power plant, you will actually need a 400 m^2 mine or well to keep up with the production of coal or natural gas.

I will change the formulas a bit to make things work.

Player market is always more fun to engage in, computers you can predict, humans.. a little bit harder ;)

Yeah, the electricity could use a little tweaking now :D

Edit: ah I see you already did :D
