Looks like the market is full of basic goods now which is nice.

Is there a way to increase production or is that what extending your factories does? Does extending your shops make more things sell?

Extending factories and stores means faster production and increased sales. Double sized factories produces twice as fast (etc), same for shops. For factories there is also a scale effect: the more you order to produce the faster/cheaper each individual piece is produced.

No it isn't.  Expanding is instant to a point, then after that you'll have to wait.

Marketing Update
I've been looking at the marketing code for sometime.  The biggest problem that I've had with it was it isn't working on the original and I joined the original late so I never knew how it worked.   I ended up doing a little bit of a re-write,  removing the part where it will divide the marketing between all of your stores as there was errors with the original code and it looked like it was dividing it among all of the buildings you owned in that firm instead of just the stores but only giving marketing to stores and running into an error code when it reached an industry.  So that part removed, I don't know how that will affect the code but it seems to be working on the variable aspect.   I will need some of the veteran players of the original let me know if it still operates the same or what needs changed.

Thank you bay12 members in advance for your help on trouble shooting this feature as we work on it.

Were power buildings nerfed today? I upgraded them from 24m2 to 30 and now I can only make 111k power in 25 hours instead of 651k

651k in 25 hours for a 24m2 is waaay more than I've gotten with an 85m2.

Woops, my bad, turns out I had been doing full length 168 hour cycles on those before and just did 25 hours today for some reason.
