Question about Great Works

[Hybr1d 20]

I see that in order to build great works you need a certain amount of resources. Does this mean that you have to stockpile a crap load of resources? What if I have a trade depot that is selling the things that are needed for the great works? Will the sales count towards the Great Works?

 

Another question... how many trade depots do I need for each resource?

Anybody?

First you need to unlock the desired great works, then purchase it. once u commit to it you will then be able to send it resources (you will see what i mean once u make the choice)... where u get the resources is up to you.. you can produce \ mine them your self or u can buy them from the global market...

 

or yes you can stock pile them if already being produced, as for how much you will need to store, err not sure they all differ. just goto region view and then to the great works when u mouse over each one i think it tells you what kind of resources it needs to start off with. or u could just google.

How many trade depots would I need for a great work?

That depends on what great work you are trying to accomplish. I have been building the archology and to do enough trading in raw ore ($160,000/month) I needed about 4 trade depos with maxed out (3) ore storage lots. The rate at which you sell ore depends on your traffic and placement of trade depots. An easy way to sell more is to turn off "Accept local deliveries" and sell all of your stored ore and then turn it back on when it is sold out. After that you can upgrade to smelting and repurpose a trade center for metal. One trade center with 3 metal lots will suffice for a smelting factory with 3 metal smelters.

In short, you do not have to have the entire stock of resources on hand all at once--you will be able to send it off one truck load at a time as it becomes available.

did you even read my response? im pretty sure i mentioned something about each great works having different requirements thus you would have to figure out the required storage for your self "if" you choose to do it that way... honestly if you expect others to answer with exact numbers that are easily attainable via Google or in game then you might as well ask them to build your city for you.

Once you sign up to contribute a resource, all your supply trucks will start taking resources to the great work so watch your budget if you rely on industry

no reason to stock pile as import price is same as export price...just simply save up a few million dollars....to import all of it...as far as how many depots you need...depends how fast you want to build it...i am usually in a rush so i build two of the big ones and supply it with max amount of trucks...
