cumbersome.

That's being pretty generous, there.  If I didn't have multiple tabs open, I'd call it a nightmare.


A rough estimate on time left until stock depletion would be wonderful too.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Heh, I'm not keeping much money at hand because I'm trying to build up my warehouse stocks enough I don't have to babysit them.  Not the most efficient or profitable method, I'm sure, but my sanity demands it.

You get how much you've sold in last 15 minutes, all it takes is a calculus to find out the rest.

I'm doing pretty well too if I say so myself. My NW is now at $6 million :). I'm doing mostly B2B, the quicker turnaround means I have more money to reinvest quickly. But I'm not getting rid of my Q27 doghouses atm which means I might be in trouble :). I'll need that cash soon to stat up new factory runs.

I'm willing to make a deal with B12 people to get rid of my doghouses quick.

Hm. I've got an idea.

Brons, put up a bunch of doghouses on B2B for 1m each.

Yep. My spreadsheet does that for me.

Time till empty (in hours): Current Inventory / Sales per tick / 4

What are you going to do? Dump money to me? Isn't that against the rules?

The rubric I've started using is that I look at the recent sales of a product, multiply by 100, and call that my "daily need". (This gives me a small cushion if the demand goes up, but does not take into account products that I both sell and consume in manufacturing.)

Also, if anyone wants to help out a struggling company, Dildain Technologies has a bunch of polyester up for sale that I'd love for people to take off my hands. :-)

Sadly I havent branched out from action figures to producing stuffed animals yet, so polyester is useless to me. But I suggest you lower your prices. Someone else has double your quality for only 1$ extra.

If anyone is interested, I can put 3500 13 quality Action Figures up for sale. My store is really shitty, so they arent exactly being sold too fast. The game tells me that they cost 17$ to make, so I could sell them pretty cheap.

I want to enter the toy business, so I think I could take 2000 of them for 20$ each, if that is a good price for you

Hm. How does one lower prices of something they've already put on the market? I could buy it back, but then I'd be losing the commission costs, no?

no, for your sales "remove" takes the place of "buy"

Hey, that's quite a neat trick! Now I can manage my shops like a pro using only mental math. Thanks!

I am a bit vary about selling things at 1/3 the price of what I would get from a store. Maybe 27$? Still way cheaper than import or B2B
