Looking over the building materials I noticed that you could refine steel for 8 days to get stainless steel. Isn't that a bit to small of a project? Stainless steel is 250 petals and steel is only about 50.

It can be bothersome unless you plan in advance, which is why the price is jacked up compared to the time to refine it.

Wait a sec, 8 days? I must have seriously messed up somewhere, I was under the impression that you could only buy Stainless Steel. I must have been mistaken or mis-edited. That either needs to take a longer amount of time or not be possible at all. In 8 days with both PGCs, you get 160 petals. That ain't right.

I think it should be increased by a little, but not by too much. The thing is, it's much more convenient to buy Stainless Steel than it is to refine it yourself. I think it should maybe be about 12 days.

I think it should maybe be about 12 days. In terms of how much money you get in 12 days, that would be good, but think about it: You're basically doing a 12-day project to enhance a resource's strength by two, and you're also making it immune to a bunch of stuff. That's a 50% increase in strength for Steel, as well as more special defense like rust and such.

Hmmm... Now that I look at it, I think the issue here is that Stainless Steel is perhaps a little underpriced. Maybe raise the price and the time needed to refine it to 20 days?

Possibly, you may be correct. It's only one build strength below Titanium; of course, Titanium can be used in aircraft which is a big deal, but nonetheless, Stainless Steel should probably be...300?
Edit: Oh, and could you update the chart you made if this gets passed? There are one or two other things we need to change, like Titanium's strength (now is 7).

I'm not going to override what everybody says, but if things go the way I'd like them to, Stainless Steel will get a price increase and take longer to make from Steel.
