Do it on that company - otherwise you'll have a huge pain transfering it over constantly. Just try to find a good supplier for iron ore and coal, then all you need is a smelter and an industrial R&D.

I've been making a bit of steel on my electronics company, simply because I have extra manufacturing time on my smelter. Just put up $3 mil worth of import quality steel at 1/2 the import price ($400).

Yeh, the lack of an "internal sale" mechanic means you have to list it on B2B from the one company, switch to the other company, and then buy it quickly before someone else snatches it. And for the extra pain, you get the privilege of paying 5% of your sale price  as the "commission" to transfer the goods.

Keeping it in-house alleviates that but plots are limited so you can't do everything yourself.

Meh, think of it as tax. 
Its technically not 'in-house' if it is a separate company, even it it is run by the same person. 
In real life, you are supposed to keep inventory and accounting separate between multiple companies and when you have them provide services or products to each other, they still have to charge each other and that stuff still gets taxed as revenue.

So yea, its either make a whole separate company to get land or cough up the money for less land.  Your choice in the matter.

In real world I can sell anythingneven at a loss, and I can decide wether to sell something to someone or not.

Are you making things up, aren't you?

He's got a point. You typically should have transactions between them at "arms length" to ensure that the transaction doesn't later get considered a "gift" instead of a "sale".

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm's_length_principle

But in the game, I'm transferring all my stuff at $0.01/unit which means I am at risk of a terrible loss if I don't switch and buy it quick enough.

[Valid_Dark]

I am not doing very well on the new version,
the b2b is too slow moving, no one is buying any of my stuff, even though it's priced way below anyone else, and is often of higher quality

What are you selling?

Sorry, I deal in meat and meat byproducts, own the company "MEAT"
Sales have picked up a good amount, I was just upset earlier, but still, I have a good 7 mil debt in game, and it grows just about every day, well, it's about to start getting paid off,

[Paul]

I have 33.3 million in debt. Why pay off debt when the interest rate is only 1%?

[Carcanken]

Anyone still play this?

Sorry for the necro.

[andrea]

well, I just registered in capitalism online server. seems quite empty however.

[LoSboccacc]

The dev seems to have disappeared just after launch; without fixes and long awaited features and rampant hacking everyone shortly jumped ship

[Paul]

Some of the latest updates were a bit questionable (IMO anyway, I thought they sucked - dumbed down the system a bit and making things simpler and simpler seemed to be the trend), then a few folks started abusing the bugs in the market (which were "fixed" repeatedly, but never really fixed) and things got a bit goofy. Like making billions selling 100,000% demand for a baseball in 15 minutes or whatever. Then the dev just disappeared and folks starting jumping ship.

Me too. Sadly, Scott shows no signs of life.

I play on the Economies of Scale server because to be honest with you the Capitalism Online server seemed a little wonky and unbalanced. I do admit though that I took a hiatus because of how depressed I had been feeling and how that made me feel generally unmotivated.

Last time I heard someone had said he was going to return sometime after Labor Day. I also heard he logs into his Capitalism Online account but he doesn't do anything when he is in there.

Either way it looks like he was just burnt out. He needed some time off and he took it. Scott will be back eventually.

[Domenique]

I don't know, he could've taken the time to tell us that.
