also, remember that the world average price is driven by people with 1000mq stores which sells the bulk of the stuff while you scrape the bottom 1%, at least at start. don't expect to make volume up front; expand stores before production and you'll be fine (if you go retail, that is - if you go b2b just make sure to meet a specific demand; like, there is a huge gap in electronic right now)

yeah we just convert the surplus to printers

electronic on b2b is not cheap, however, and there is so many in each car... not that it changes that much right now as just using one cheap steel bar offset way more the prive of all the electronics in the body...


but the target is to build each car at less than 5k$

Ehehe I'm taking the opposite approach with my other company focusing on the cheapest 0 quality fruit I can mass produce. It's still in its infancy as most of my money is committed in that b12 company, but so far is looking good.

I'm missing the second generator antenna, I've found a tutorial but the underground alien factory is too much defended for my level. Is there another way to ge one?

I should have spent some more on stealth.   :(

I got some steel production up and going strong in my own company. Quality's usually around 25 because that's what sells, but I could go up as high as 42.

As I said, I'm not against purchasing between our own companies as long as they're all private and the transaction is at prices that won't get flagged and get us all in trouble

We polled, it didn't pass. We will poll again if the interest is enough (that is, be vocal gents!)

FYI, need another "Robot Butler" position posted for Rigapples.

I didn't make the last one: what were the permission details?

Pricing, Marketing, Buy from import and B2B --- if we want it to do research to, add start research.

Opened without research; I'm worried about letting research grow too much as single items are starting to cost quite a large amount of cash

yeah, what I meant was not to use import stuff into production chain to reduce overall prices (now that we can control the chain end to end)

obviously imports fills nicely for when production isn't ready

can your script complain about the lacking stuff? we could gather some stat about the most needed items. (I really should start writing something myself instead of nagging around)

well, we can stop moving imports and actually start a self sustaining production. we should start beating others on the price merit, while pushing up quality and keepong everything in the 2x sweet spot

To be honest, I didn't want to push the size up this far, as it outstrip our current production, which is already thin.

But there was a quest and we had the money an ultimately the bigger the better (best more selling power than production capacity)

I'm not all in favor of much many more stores. Consider that a million dropped on store advertising double it's effective capacity and seems quite more effective. We shpuld run the math on this..

I didn't realise the reward would actually pay for the cars, if that's the case then we'll make about 33k on them since the quest reward works out to almost 80k per car (which is what we're selling them for)
bad maths for the win.
We'll lose 50k each on the cars, not really worth it unless we have alot of cars lieing around that'll take days to sell off.


polled  ;D
