Tax each resource at a specific tax rate?

[Greene]

So here's a problem I'm running into. I want to tax some resources at one rate, and others at a different one. Is there a way we could get this implemented?

Too much work! And also, a lot of work to manage, and a pain to store all the separate variables and add all the calculations in at update time.

 

This has also been suggested before, and we decided that expanding the tax rate to both an income tax rate (money) and a single resource tax rate was the best option.

This sounds like a good idea to me. You could tax whatever is needed, while letting say peoples' food supplies alone.

We need a list of already requested features

Although... that would require people to actually read shit before posting

I read, just apparently not all of the threads...

[Wiliam]

Great Idea, but I guess you have to balance how much work it is to implement as opposed to it's actually usefulness. I guess there are better ideas which require less work to implement and manage.

 

Agreed, we should definitely make a list.

sheepy doesn't want to do it

 

why?

 

who knows.

Who knows? Anyone who read this post - that's who.

i actually did read that post. read the whole thread.

 

it is obvious that the amount of work to be put in is less than the benefit we get by expanding the game in this way

 

if you want a complicated economy, don't stop halfway through and just fudge it 'till the end... give us a fully functioning economy with all the bells and whistles

 

there's no real reason for it other than sheer laziness. i don't consider that a valid reason.

Totally like this idea, have thought so since the start. But I can see how it would be so much work to have it done.

If a separate rate for each item is too computationally expensive, I would recommend at least allowing variable tax rates for food, raw materials, and manufactured materials.

This would be a lot more feasible.

Truth be told, this is more in line with what I was hoping for anyways.
