  1. You should say that lime green token is worthless, the only thing you can buy is a coat. you need 550000 (insane) lime green tokens and you get coat worth 5peds. Somebody did say that calypso have oil rig ( 0,5 - 1 ped / hr ) and compare it to cyrene spawning ground in hub ( 0,1 - 0,2 pec /hr ).

    1. Nothing is worthless forever for everyone. And Toulan has spawning stuff that have good value. Better than all other planets at the moment.
