Fish Stew discrepancy

Why is fish stew so much more expensive to make that your cost can't be recouped from selling it? And knowing that, why include the task of making twelve of them for the CoM challenge? I've encounte...

@DixiesHaven I recently sent a request to technical support outlining the unreasonableness of CoM requirements. These assignments that are constantly being repeated every third one is absolutely ridiculous and shameful. Of course someone will say they are randomly selected by the computer but an individual wrote the program and did an absolutely pathetic job…phoned it in so to speak. I also outlined the overvaluation of war game tasks (which have no place in CoM - separate contests with separate rewards) as compared to others.
The response I got was “I understand and I hope the design team will take a look”…of course when I got the satisfaction form email I was not overly kind starting with how could I be possibly be satisfied…
If you don’t like what you’re seeing in CoM send a report to technical support and let them know. They don’t read posts in the forum, but someone reads the satisfied / dissatisfied responses and historically have followed up on the dissatisfied…I’m guessing it’s a measurable for their job performance review. Good luck.

Hi!

This game is definitely one in which careful consideration and decision making are factors. Most mayors would never choose an item like fish stew as their go-to simoleon-making item but, if they're competing in CoM and Plumbob payout is their priority, they may choose to do the assignment whether or not the simoleon payout is there.

I totally get where you're coming from though.

Good luck and enjoy the game.🙂

Thank you @never2old2game . I would never consider fish stew as a money making item, but to be losing that much money making an item makes absolutely no sense to me, as everything else makes a profit whether it's a small one or not!

Thank you for taking the time to answer, it is appreciated.
