Paying off your loan doesn't increase your NW tho. Making money does.

So your debt doesn't figure into your net worth? Odd math...

I think it does have something to do with it. I payed for an appraisal of my NW and on the appraisal screen it said something about my loan.

Quick question; what is the outsourcing of research in the game? I do not understand this.
Also, I have a bad feeling that trying to produce good quality orange juice may destroy my bank account, worth and company.

Sure it figures into it. Let's say you have $10 cash and $20 debt. Your networth is -$10. If you pay the debt down with your $10 you will still have $10 in debt and a NW of -$10. That's why I said you need to make money, not pay down debt. Paying down your debt probably even hurts your money making.

It's just paying money to finish it instantly.

I see, we read your statement as saying your debt doesn't figure into the NW.

Ah, thought it might be, but it confused me telling me about other companies. Ta'.

Outsourcing finishes your research instantly, so you don't have to wait for it to finish. Not that useful at the early stages where your research takes less than a day to finish and most of the time your labs are idle while you're not logged on.

Regarding orange juice, I think that industry is quite saturated right now, so the return on your investment in research is going to take a long time to pay off. The stats in the EoSpedia http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/pedia-product-stats-cat.php can tell you which industries are saturated (high %demand met).

I've got plenty of milk, lightforger. 15k of it, with 10k more in progress.
And for how to sell it to me, join the IRC. we've used that to coordinate selling.

Want to do a swap 5k batter for 10k milk?
Not sure how you swap items in the game though.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

If he is paying off his debt he is obviously making money because he can afford to pay down the debt. I tend to assume people won't do something incredibly stupid like pay down a debt with the money they got from the debt at the very beginning.

Oh, genitals. Thanks for the link, and the heads up. Bottled water is a bit down... But I couldn't use my current resources there... Back to the drawing board!

EDIT: Bingo! Turns out there's only 30% supply of toilet paper. Into this business we go. :D

Sengoku, are you going to be around any time today? I need some nice high quality water and I hear you're the place to get it.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.
