🐝 The Economics of Selling Nucleus Colonies

An interactive 3D cost-and-risk model for a batch of nucleus colonies: set queen, materials and labour costs, failure rate and sale price, and watch profit and margin respond live.

Economics & Social Systems3DAdvanced60 FPS

A batch of nucleus colonies laid out in 3D, coloured by outcome, next to a live bar chart of cost, price and profit that responds as you adjust queen cost, materials and labour, failure rate, and sale price.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Failed nucs still cost a queen, woodware and labour but earn nothing — so batch profit depends on spreading full cost across every nuc produced, not just the ones that sell.

🎮 How to Use

Adjust batch size, queen cost, materials + labour, failure rate and sale price. Watch boxes flip to red (failed) or amber (thin margin), and the profit bar swing green or red.

💡 Did You Know?

Break-even price rises fast with failure rate: going from 5% to 20% failures can push the price needed just to cover costs up by nearly a fifth.
