I have Etceteria unlocked and enough in the coffers to get max each day. I've not collected in about a month, and the RS wiki doesn't account for tree seeds in its estimates. What appears to be the ideal setup to maximize profit?

Asumming you sold all the products on med in G.E, the best set up currently is 10 on maples and 5 on coal.

Actually, if you keep loyalty maxed out you can put nine workers on maples and still get the same amount of nests - eight per day. You get one nest for every 100 logs cut. With the maximum amount of workers and funding you'll get just under 900 logs a day, with one less you get just over 800. The extra profit you get from the extra coal is more than enough to make up for the slight loss you get from cutting less maples, so assuming you keep your coffers full and your citizens at 100%, you'll get maximum profit with nine workers on maples and six workers on coal.

I think it depends on how often you gather your resources.

 

I always get my popularity up to 100% every day.

And I collect about once a month (if not once every two months).

 

I've always wanted to try this but would anybody like to compare for a week

(I'll keep it at 100% popularity every day at 10/5 and you do 9/6 and compare the number of birds nest received)

I think it depends on how often you gather your resources.

 

 

Correct. That 9 wood thing doesn't matter if you don't collect like once every 7 days.

 

And it doesn't matter about your happiness %. It could drop to 1% and not matter. As long as you have the money in the coffers (so that it withdraws 75k daily) and get your happiness back to 100% BEFORE YOU COLLECT YOUR [cabbage] you'll get the same amount of resources as if you raised the % every day.

 

And profit is 10 wood 5 coal/herbs. (Pick one, they are close enough that the difference doesn't matter.)

297% return ratio compared to 221% doesn't matter? That's quite a bit more profit.

I've made the perfect sheet for calculations like these, it exactly calculates the things you get, with only the minor limitation that it expects you to up the rating at regular intervals. - using the same rounding as runescape has (tested).

 

 

But back on topic: maples, coal were most profitable. Maybe herbs might be good too if you expect a sudden price boost at the bxpw.

My bad. Didn't check it till you pointed out the fault.

So your saying you can leave it for two weeks and then just get 100% approval rating, and it makes no difference?

 

I thought you had to keep it at 100% daily..

 

What's the difference between collecting once a week and once a month?? or once every two months?

It actually starts to make a difference at below 90% approval.
