Hello everyone. In spirit of this (https://forum.en.forgeofempires.com...-missile-artillery-research-4-5m-coins.27869/) thread, I want to ask if it's intended that the Modern Age Research "Food Processing" needs 430 whale oil to be unlocked? It's by far the highest amount for any good in that age. It's also very easy to accidentially hit the "4" key instead of "1" if you use the numpad, that's why I assume that it could be a typo.

Have a nice day!

If you recalculate the costs it is not so different. Let`s take PE goods as a guide line. 430 IE is 215 PE, so the tech costs 315 PE in total, as comparison Prefabrication costs 300. Then next techs are cheaper, but then ME costs step in, and anything that costs ME is significantly more expensive (at least 400 if converted to PE) The amplitude of costs is rather large but looks accurate for what you get, and what you can do afterwards.

the value MUST be correct

why?
because in the tech tree all 5 industrial age goods are needed 1000 in total (from industrial to postmodern era)

so it may be high for one research but it has the correct amount when counting all goods from industrial age in all 4 eras you need them in research

Click to expand...
true but with 130 we would need 300 too less in the complete research compared with the other goods from IA ;)

Thank you for your concern. According to the information we currently have at hand, this is indeed the correct value for unlocking this tech.
