Industry plays a very large role in making MU2, Composites a surprisingly minor. With some numbers.
There are 2 Options to get MU2s at this point:
a) Let Industry Guy do MU2s, he pays Composites Guy. 139 Euro per MU2 Upgrade. (Also: Industry does both MU1+MU2 this way)
b) Let Composites Guy make MU2s, he pays Industry Guy. 123 Euro per MU2 Upgrade.
c) Let Adv. Smelting guy do it. Not realistic, Rivets are too easy/cheap to make.
It does feel like MU2s are more of an Industry Upgrade, sprinkled with some Composite Flavour. Might be fixed by either making Work Parties much more expensive or add some more Composite-unique Goodness (Furniture? Simply more Composite Lumber?) to MU2s.
Calculations:
Ad a)
Buy Composite Lumber or do a Composite Workparty?
Work Party
16 Euro for 4x200 = 800 Labor
16 Euro for 4 Epoxy
4 Euro for 4 Wood
====
36 Euro
Buy Composite
32 Euro at a rough minimum, since 8 Composite are usually around 4-10 Euro.
Overall:
36 Euro for Composites
75 Euro for building 5 Steel Plates (7,5 Steel, each 6-10 Euro)
8 Euro for Rivets
20 Euro for MU2 Work Party
=====
139 Euro
Ad b)
Buy Steel Plates or do a Steel Workparty?
Work Party
20 Euro for 5x200 = 1000 Labor
75 Euro for 7,5 Steel Bars
====
95 Euro
Buy Steel Plates
150 Euro for 5 Steel Plates (cheapest was 22/Plate)
Overall:
20 Euro for Composites
95 Euro for Steel Plates
8 Euro for Rivets
====
123 Euro
