we built 100 chassis with the intention of making a buttload of cars, but I wasn't there when they got out of the factory and they were half sold at the stores  :o

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

We really need to expand our factories so we can start getting car bodies out, as those are the things that are limiting us the most.

Also realized we are selling about 6 cars a tick, do we sell primely our cars or importing cars?

They sell for better profit than cars themselves, so not really a problem  :D

Yeah, I think all the Auto factories need to expand to 200 m3. Don't bother with power plants and wells.

We should probably Put car bodies in the store at a fairly high price, my own store i put car bodies up at the almost the same profit margin as i make on selling entire cars, so each body i sell is basically time saved on making whole cars, also it leaves extra profit for tires and seats since i'm selling those at significant extra profit.I haven't time to crunch the numbers though.

the first dent is when they adjusted the research level value toward networth

the second smaller recent dent is when we queued MILLIONS of research  :P (money went out of the pocket and so subtracted to networth, research not yet completed is not added hence the dip)

That's pretty good, i might take a stab at that percentage myself, heh, It's a race!
Also my employment lapsed so i'm technically part of the company anymore, but this is still a community thing right? :p
Great work guys.
(as an aside Standard Auto is only worth about 75M Nw so  catching up may be tricky, but i also have an industrial company worth 90M that's churning out 100,000 quality 30 steel a day to feed it raw materials ,sadly i can't buy that steel at under market value, damn you $350 a bar steel)

Hey, I'm supposed to be the one making rich off corrupt steel connections :P But seriously, yeah, we do need a lot of steel, vehicle bodies eat up a lot of them, and steel's slow to manufacture.

Maybe I'll just focus my company on producing SUV bodies. I'm enjoying making private research institutes.


Also, lol, 15M in executive compensation.
