How much space these manufactories takes up in your village. So how do we compare these goods? The answer is: space. All my manufactories are maxed at the advanced level, which for Marble Manufactories (MM) is lvl 8, for Silk manufactories (SM) lvl 9 and last but not least Gem Manufactories (GM) lvl 8. I made sure to compare their values when they are on the same boost-% which for me is 279%. My production boosts are: Marble, Silk and Gems.

I'm going to tackle this problem from the point in the game where I'm currently in, which is the early midgame with the human race. It’s going to be quite a long post and plenty of spelling errors but try to bear with me! Could really 100 gems be as valuable as 1600 marble?

There are of course many factors that set the value of these materials, and I have done my best to look at some of them. Right now 1 elixir/magic dust/gem is valuated as 4 silk/crystal/scrolls and 16 marble/planks/steel. I've been thinking about this question for a while now and finally I decided to do some calculating to see how accurate these ratios are.
