Random Computing is $4.39/share with dividends of 0.10/share. Just dumped all my personal cash into it, it still has a good amount of stock left.

Random computing gone, sorry to anyone who wanted any.

Thats the entire reasonI bought the stock, if they don't I'm out.

Bobs Watermelon Emporium also has a good dividend, and some stock left since I ran out of money to buy stock in it with.

Please read and post your vote. I suggest "B3 or higher" for the reasons given in the thread.

Remember, you're competing against established players who have dumped a ton of cash into new companies, unlocked all real estate, and hired a newbie alt account to instabuild all the buildings to 2500m^2 on the first day. Then they reported it to the dev to have it nerfed to "only" 1000m^2. This proposal is an attempt to level the playing field and to help smaller companies get up to speed quicker.

Also, in case you didn't catch it in the world news, one of my other suggestions has been implemented (EoS bonus to building upgrades). Now it's 1200m^2 of retail space for a week of upgrading instead of 672m^2.

P.S. There was a small error in the script execution and almost all players ended up with an extra day worth of salary. So $10,000,000 and 2000 influence was given out to all players to "level the field" a little.

AH! Didn't pay attention as that was part of yesterdays news. Stuck some in the company to push my factories a notch. Bigger farms and researching tomatoes! Splitting focus between cherries and tomatoes, maybe mangoes but I'm a bit cautious of splitting 3 ways.

Anyone know the price of all the factory real estate slots?

I'm currently at the 27M one. And would like to know the price of the 4 after it.

I think it's like 27 mil, 54 mil, 108 mil, 216 mil - doubling each time.

That can't be true.
Because it started out at 1M. Then 3M I think and then 9m....
Wait. I think it triples every time.

I'm looking at both ends of it in two of my companies. First slot is 27 mil, skip two slots and the fourth slot is 216 mil. Maybe it triples the first few then doubles?

The next to last slot (3 more past the 216 mil one) is 729 mil. If I remember correctly the last one was like 1 billion. I bought it for one of my companies.

Well, then it should be x^3.

216 = 6^3
7^3 = 343
8^3 = 512
729 = 9^3

Which would conclude that the first few upgrades are:
1^3 = 1
2^3 = 8
3^3 = 27
4^3 = 64
5^3 = 125

Also, if the last spot is 1 billion, then it fits the pattern perfectly.

10^3 = 1000 (M)

So, I'm gonna say it's that.

Also, I happened to buy a company this morning by accident. Looks like someone was trying to run it into the ground, and now it's worthless. They took out about 35 million dollars in loans for no reason and then seemingly forgot the company existed. Cue million dollars in loan payments later, and the owner ditches his stock.

I think I got this.

And it looks like I'm correct, as the second upgrade is indeed 8 million.
