Next time we start a coalition we should decide on the server first lol

[Cheedows]

Anyone on the test server have fairly priced lumber?  Prices are through the roof for it on B2B

[Dorfs R Fun]

Started playing this about 5 days ago and I'am having a lot of fun with it. It has certainly satisfied my ocd for the last week. Wish it had more players though.

Capitalism Online company: Holy Cheesus - producing milk, cheese, butter and yogurt.
Economies of Scale company: Burgers N' Shakes - producing the entire chain for cheeseburgers and strawberry banana smoothies (started with lv 52 strawberries).

You're him?  I'm Urist McCheedows, owner of Dwarfy Innovative Mining on EoS.  You can search up Graham on EoS, hes one of the more developed Bay12ers.  If you need salt, then I'm your guy but I just started as well.  I can do about 100 00 salt per day

Anyone on EoS needing cheap electronics can hit me up at Keckler Computing. I've got production churning out a profit of almost 1 mil a day right now

Edit: I'd be nice if there was some sort of display that showed current tax and upkeep costs, so I'd know how much to keep in the bank at the end of the day to avoid automatic loans -_-

... I'd like to see what a retail-only company could pull in just sourcing from B2B (import or from other factory-oriented companies).

I'll let you know how it goes, Atm Standard Retail TM, is making 20 Million a day from 1500 Sq M of Electronics, 1500 Sq M Hardware, 1500 Sq M office Supply and 1500 Sq M Apparel Stores Sourced Entirely from B2B, in 5 days time when my First Upgrades are ready there will be en extra 6 x 1700 SqM of each store kind, After that i'll be upgrading 2/3 of each store kind continously.
I'll expect profit after the first upgrade to be approx 156 million per day, but dropping down to 45million per day when i queue up most for the second round of upgrades.
Each week the theoretical income should go up by 135 million, but since only 2 of each store will be actually open the actual profit will only be going up by 45 million.
By contrast if i upgrade only half at a time my theoretical income will go up by 90 million, and my actual income will go up by 90 million.
Since i have the cash to burn I'm not too concerned with running out of funds for upkeep.

Posting to watch. This game seems pretty fun so far.

Blargh, I'm having issues keeping my profits up due to needing to constantly restock my shelves(which should be a GOOD thing, I'm selling stuff like hotcakes for nice profits!).

To illustrate, it costs $378,000 to completely restock my shelves from the B2B(and the number would be higher if I wasn't making my own desktop PCs), but I'm getting a gross profit of $1,173,120 in a 24 hour period(or around 12,220 a tick). So, in theory, I'd have a net profit of $795,120, but of course this isn't taking into account upkeep and salary(which ran me over $300,000 last update). So the final math, IN THEORY, should show me gaining half a mil a day, yet I'm struggling to keep my cash on hand above 200k(which would mean constant automatic loans to cover operating costs at the end of the day). Any ideas what I can do to improve cashflow?

Sell stuff in your warehouse? Or are you pure retail?
Sell less for more?
Drop unutilized buildings?  Or gear em more for profits.

On another note, billionaire in test.  Poor broke 1million in not-test.  Test with the new stuff is way better too....

try takeing out a loan to really stock your shelves. you need to get way from the Origination fee of 2%.
what are you selling?
i can cut you a cheap bay12 only deal on power(0.05),  water(0.04) and gas(0.40) just contact urist drilling

Good news, moving Steve is moving a buncha of the cooler test code up to normal.

[LoSboccacc]

question:

why is there some random drop in sales now and then?

graph don't show anything in average market price changes or world average selling price, at some point the revenue just drop to almost nothing and then slowly recover

[Lithare]

I think there is a hidden "surprise demand" element. As well as increases by other suppliers that aren't enough to show up majorly in the pie charts, but still cut into the demand reaching your store.

I'm in agriculture, and I've noticed that I'll have a week's worth of lettuce stocked, go to work, and when I come it's gone.  This will go on for 2 days where my factories can't keep up with my stores, then it returns to normal.  The opposite also happens.

Given my self-sufficiency in terms of producing/stocking all of my own products from my starter company, I always try to have at least 7> supply of whatever is in my stores, then when I get to a truly excessive level, clear some stock in the B2B for extra quick cash.  With the advent of NPC companies, this is very easy to do, if you're not fighting for every extra dollar/unit sold.  Especially with high value products.

If you need quick cash, note whatever NPCs are selling the same product for on B2B and undercut them.  They tend to buyout your market listings w/in 48 hours.  Makes for easy bursts of growth without loans.  And also reduces the amount of monitoring/micromanagement needed.

Also, quests are an easy way to get bursts of cash, depending on what they are.  If you can find a good price, you can make profit by meeting the "supply" quests.  If you have an agriculture or metal quest show up, feel free to message me in game.  I'd be willing to sell to you near my cost so that we can both profit.

I'm Lithare Grayston on there, and my main company is Falconis, with my newer one being Falconis Metals.

Hello, I'm The Monopoly Guy in the capitalism online server. I started playing thanks to this thread, I make headwear, ceramics and paper - because those industries were under-supplied when I started, though the mega-corps have since joined the party. I can offer a few dozen million electricity and water at cost.

Is there anything we can do as a group? Maybe start a chain of companies to tackle something big like airplanes or cars?

The best we can probably do is have someone set-up a company and hire everyone for a big cash cow monopoly on whatever store/product we hit up.  It may be much easier this time around, seeing as company head can now hire people with authority to hire/fire.
Though, having too many hands in it may make it so many of its 'employees' would have little to do.
