I probably shouldn't have paid back 4 Million of that loan when I first started... would have been more capital to screw around with... but... I probably would have dug myself into a deeper hole of expenses without being able to make up for it in profits...

So yea, it is a catch 22 kinda thing...  I need more capital right now.

What happens when I make a new account?  ::)

When I first started out I just completely messed up after 2 days and felt I wanted to start over.

EDIT: I imagine it would be better to sell clothes at stores and not on the open market?

stores are slower but you get more per item vs player market which can be fast be needs other players to buy your items.

if you have a store buy some of everying thing it can sell,this will get to a good income per tick(15mins)

export is the fastist but pays crap, still if you need 5K to make a new order...

Looking forward to that reset button.. I got a little too ambitious and now, on day 4, things are looking very grim. I guess a rum and beer focused company isn't going to be the easiest thing to pull off until pirates are added into the game.

I just sold my company and invested in shares. Dumbest thing I've ever done, hoping for a reset.

where are you selling all your rum and beer?
if you are making your own sugar then there is a groing market for it, try selling Beverage Concentrates

I don't have much on the market right now, but it's not selling. I grow the barley and sugar cane, and produce the glass bottles and water/natural gas. Hell, my excess barley and sugarcane sold much faster. Maybe I should sell the beverage factories and r&d, and just sell the crop. I think it's a little late though, I'm really on my last leg.

Still crap all for profitability, but I consider not needing an autoloan to get through maintenance a success. Trying to sell food court items, and Oranges and gas and everything else I had leftover from before on B2B.

Hot foods or bakery items are profitable. At least according to Bluerobin. Rum and electronics and aircraft, not so much. Fruit is oversaturated.

To find out which industries are profitable, check out the stats in the EoSpedia (http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/pedia-product-stats-cat.php). If you click into the categories, you can see that some industries, like fruits, are at 90-100% demand met, which means that they will sell slowly.

Is there something wrong with hot foods? The demand percentage is extremely low.

That means that the demand in that industry is not being met, which makes it an extremely profitable industry.

Yeah, I understand that. What I don't understand is why. I don't think there is a single category with percentages that low.
