Private Groups

Struggling with private groups. A lot of people/groups don't bother stocking the market, or their prices are simply absurd, because they don't really care. They figure they will source everything internally. I'm getting upset, because I want to do something like carpentry and buy a sawmill, but the only people with wind/water wheels are charging an absurd price. So then I think, okay well, I can take basic engineering, but then as soon as I list an item it will be a price war and I wasted my skill pick. My only role was to force the price down so someone else can do the thing I wanted to do originally.

Is there any solution? I feel like I can't do anything without a group of friends to play with me. Any groups want an experienced player? I just want to feel like a part of a group playing Eco, I'm about to give up completely, I'm sick of putting a few days into a server and throwing my hands up and trying again...

The tax rates on White Tiger are insane though (15% + 15% on luxury goods). And they hardly use that tax money. I tried buying, transporting and selling stuff because people tend to be lazy. But that is impossible without bankrupting yourself.

Also they do not let people build dirt roads on their planned street districts. That means like in the first 5-6 days you have to build alternate roads outside of the planned grid. By that point nobody needed the planned streets. They were actually more of a hindrance.

That's not insane but average european taxing, especially given endgame recipes need to be funded - next to other countless projects WT has. Sales tax doesn't apply to flying traders without skills at all. Everyone gets universal basic income that is untaxable. Also, you are free to try reaching the goal with lower taxes by going into politics - they are not set by the administration. Insane taxation much rather applies to groups with lots of differing skills, but that's the point of the system.

Only N-S and W-E highways are pre-districted and need the respective title from the Federal Government to work on them. This cycle they don't exist though, as winning the domination victory led to the winner choosing them being replaced with boat canals for this cycle as the victory reward.
