electricity is a strange monopoly to try and get. he should have made the electricity and coal combo, this way he could have stop production at the origin...

Plus, he's selling electricity and water at the same price. I could make money by buying his electricity and producing water with it.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

Go for flavoured gelatins, leather jackets and gloves, or dress shoes. They don't have any demand met, fairly nice store price, but they are a little bit complicated to manufacture.

Focus on one product at first. Though, you may want to produce your water with those prices.

I find that there is no demand met for silk thread, a cheap and simple to produce item... which is fairly expensive on the b2b market. Might wanna research that first though.

I'm just going to usurp the natural balance of electricity by undercutting everyone. I am terrible at making a regular company so I'l just undercut for fun  :P

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Electricity is now sold 0.50 by some Urist companies  :P It's someone on the thread I think. Looks like that monopoly is going to be over soon, prices will drop. I wonder how much he made/lost. Water is at 0.50 too.

This is hilarious, I'm making so much easy cash by undercutting the big companies they're buying my electricity and selling it at their price.

What's this? Undercut water+electricity by 1cent, you say? Stick it to "The Man", you say?

Still playing this, for the past three or so days I think.

Started out doing plantations, then reset my account because apples are boring and no one wants them.
Then, try to move into petrochemicals, namely vinyl and polyester, and find to my surpise the next day that I was actually turning a profit. Turning in 7M a day, according to my stats chart thing (which seems a bit off since I calculated that my stores would only net me about 200k but whatever, math). Absolutely no one on nylon thread atm, so I plan to expand that way once my research picks up a little.

Fun little game-thing, reminds me of a game I used to play years ago, only this one is far superior in many aspects. Started with a 'K'.

What would be hilarious if these wars were just between bay12ers, and when we get tired the others will just buy up anything that's left and go back to selling it for like $2.00
So we better keep the pressure for a few weeks!
