According to my calculations I am making $18.09 per second. Not bad for my first day.


have you factored in electricity and water cost?
Yep, I've included all of my costs in the calculations and already have the goods to be sold.

Including the advertising campaign which was very helpful.

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.

soon finishing a new batch of coal. but people started undercutting us again. and this time a big producer. maybe 12$ was too high?
I'll still sell at that price, let me know if we move down again.

18.18 / sec... good for you.
I am lucky to hit 1 / sec...
I guess I chose the wrong industry.

Some data is exported already, but it is mostly world data and not company specific data.

my store makes 1k / tick ... I guess industrial wasn't a good choice. ( almost all slots full)
that alone would make 1.1/sec.
strawberries make decent profit. Coal however isn't as steady as I'd like to...
considering that wages and maintenance eat most of my income, I would guess that I earn at most 2-3/sec. what do you guys do to earn that much? I wonder if I can still improve or if I am doomed to bankrupt.

edit: also, scelly, what to do with coal prices? people started again to sell below us and we have no money to buy them out.

edit: argh! I started producing steel, to make some quick profit. I thought it would take 57 minutes, and it would give me enough to pay for wages.

turns out, it is 57 hours! and if I read it correctly, I may not get money back if I cancel order.
so, smelter is stuck for days and half of my money is locked in it. :(
silly me.
