    Granite Pit Ripoff

    Bought a granite pit, according to shop it contains 3000 granite. Well just what it holds 3000 ore and it takes 3 ore to make 1 granite.
    This means you get 1000 granite instead of 3000. What a ripoff 1/3 the granite, I want a refund

    I can't speak for Ares (how much granite costs) but on Zeus it's a decent value.
    You just need to think outside the box use a x4 buff like snow, and omniseeds. You will find that pit will treat you well.

    The things you're complaining about were well-known for quite some time. Are you saying you did zero research before buying it? Lesson learned, eh?

    OP has valid point. The shop has misleading information. It says "Holds 3,000 units of granite rock". Player should not be required to do research on forums before each purchase.

    From the shop : "Holds 3,000 units of granite rock but consumes 3 deposit units per upgrade level"
    What do you want more exactly?

    There is nothing in the game called "granite rock", so it's pretty natural to interpret it as "granite". Later sentence uses completely different term "deposit unit". According to this description the building could as well contain 9000 deposit units and produce 3000 granite. It would have been pretty easy to write "Holds 3,000 deposit units of granite rock and produces 1,000 granite" instead to avoid possibility of misinterpretation.

    Ditto. What Jani said is pretty spot on. The description in game is misleading people to think they are getting 3k granite from the pit. The "consumes 3 deposits units per upgrade level" is just pure enigma. There is a terrible lack of clarity in this and I am assuming it is for a reason not accidental. If it was clearly stated you are buying 3k granite pit that will give you 1k granite (unbuffed) most people wouldn't even look at this... Cheap shot by the devs to use confusion for sales.
