I signed up to this game and I don't get much of it. I figured out producing stuff and selling it on the b2b and NPC market; but then you guys are talking about nations and stuff and I don't know what you mean.

I'm doing good.
Managed to dominate the Barley and cherry B2B market.
Mainly because I can provide quality at a (relatively)low price in a time when both have few producers and many of them seem to think £3 is a good unit price.

Also starting a foray into stores, as while originally a production only company Eden Industries has seen that the public seem to pay even more extortionate prices than businesses.

If you're in agriculture DO NOT buy water, Plants drink tons; Build a well.
About 50m^2 is fine for me. ~5000000 water in ~24 hours. Or each day you get 5million units for growing. And after setting all your farms with their batches you can sell the excess water for a bit of extra cash.

If you want quality plants, you either need to buy water from B2B or invest a lot of money and personal time+energy into researching high quality water then refining it at a water plant.  Something like 30%? of your plant quality comes from water.

When were we ever talking about nations ?

Actually, looking back at it, it looks like you were probably just talking about big companies.

If you can offer any advice, I've currently gone into farming; some crops but I've geared my research towards meat goods.

[Valid_Dark]

lol, I got in trouble for embezzlement, but I didn't go to jail!

"You received a note from an anonymous source: "You should be a bit more careful with embezzling money from a public company."

my networth is 30 times what it was yesterday
(yesterday I was at 10 million networth, now i'm at 300 million)
((Actually, now I have a networth of over 700 million, but since your actual networth only updates once every 24 hours it claims I'm at 300 million))
not all of that money was from embezzlement though,
I embezzled about 40 million from the public company and turned it into 80 or so public wealth.

Graknorke, it's best to focus on one thing,
so if you're growing crops, put research into those crops,
or produce the meat goods your researching

Plants don't use filtered water, which is the only kind that can be upgraded anymore.

I sold my company for ~$8,310,000 after the whole water update. I wanted to take another break from said game anyways to spend some more time playing Capitalism II and The Sims 2. Plus, I figured I'd be nice and let someone else take the lead in the cocoa bean market due to the fact that even before the water update no one gave a shit about quality cocoa beans anyways. All those choobs cared about was the lowest prices.

I can understand the whole lowest prices over quality bit in a game like World of fucking Warcraft, but not in a game where quality is supposed to mean something like Economies of Scale. It kind of pissed me off a little bit that people would undercut my prices with q0 cocoa beans and I wouldn't sell any until I lowered my prices downwards to around $1.99 and lower. This is madness.

Well, be fair. The only reason to buy things is to make better things, and if you're making the best things from those things then the only thing left is to sell them to the robotizens.

And those bastards will buy anything.

The game doesn't let me buy any shares... What happened?

Some companies don't have any shares to buy.

Or you're poor.

Also, if anyone would buy my lightbulbs on the B2B market (4000 rank 40 lightbulbs for $12 a piece), I'd gladly buy them back at the same price. I just need to beat a quest.

EDIT: Thank you, anonymous do-gooder!

My 3 companies are taking somewhat more time than i have to spare, so i'm rather inclined to sell one or 2, though They're still expanding rapidly, maybe i should just open up a Position for Chairman, does it still reset every week?

[LoSboccacc]

Yes.

For some reason I was under the impression that animals would require grain or something to feed on. Apparently they are robotic and only need charging with electricity.
Also I'm pretty sure I have the factories I need; Livestock farm (of course), Slaughterhouse (ditto), food processing, hot food factory, well.
Power is pretty cheap so I can just buy that.
I have a few plantations from aforementioned misconception.

Clever note, I'd offer 1500 influence for the relevant suggestions and get them added if there's only a few, even though I mentioned I won't take orders for new products until v0.80.
