New prices at the market store

The market store has new prices for the things your ranch makes. Until now a jar of glue cost less than the wood that goes into it, and a bag of sugar cost less than its carrots, so the store was quietly undercutting your own buildings.

The rule is simple now: wood, iron and water are the cheap raw goods, and anything made from them costs more than they do.
- Thread 200, glue 250, leather 400 (were 22, 50, 160).
- Sugar 600 and cookies 900 (were 20 and 75), which is still well above what players sell them for on the market.
- Apples down to 250 and grain down to 400 (were 560 and 1,500).
- Wood, iron, wool, carrots and feed are unchanged.

Your ranch, the market and trades with other players are unaffected; only the store's own counter changed. If you have been buying sugar or cookies at the store, the refinery and the bakery are now worth building.

Update, later the same day: the store is there so that nobody gets stuck without materials, not to replace ranches. So each player can buy, per day at these prices, 500 iron and 500 wood, 50 of each other material (leather, thread, wool, glue), and 10 of each treat and 10 bales of each feed (changed on 4 November from 500 per material and treat and 50 per feed: a horse eats one bale at a time, and treats are meant to come from your bakery and orchard). Anything beyond that costs three times as much. The store page shows how much of today's allowance you have left beside each price, and the receipt tells you if part of an order went over.
