FYI, I've updated the bot code to handle the fractional quality changes from last night.


yeah I saw it stopped working and did an "emergency restock"  :P

the pricing bot's most useful as right now this messy update doesn't track price changes in stores

True, it's back up and running. RJ put in some anti-DOS script that auto-jails if you make too many requests to the site in a short period of time. I had Rigapples running against 20(!) companies but I've split it between the two accounts now and adding some tracking on my end so we're under the rate limit.

I'd say more stores but I'm biased since I'm the sales manager. Factory slots are pretty expensive though once you start unlocking the last few. I'd say we ditch the well and power plant before we unlock more factory slots. I dunno though, I'm just getting into the production side of things with my other companies and I'm not trying a vertical strategy at all (i.e. producing EVERYTHING I need to make the end product). There's enough volume on B2B for the raw materials that I'd rather focus my cash and production capabilities on the end product.

The influence mechanic that limits expansion is slowing expansion a lot  we've the cash, but not the influence for quick construction

True. But unlocking extra real estate plots increases our max expansion capacity -- 1 m^2 per tick per plot.

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

For our particular company, we're currently competing against players that have instabuilt to 12 x 2500m^2 stores/factories/R&D's so even getting somewhere close to that level would help us.

I've withdrawn 250million to prevent a bot exploiting going on these days.

I'll put them back as the import market reopens

Fixed. We're not buying from B2B anymore when import market is closed.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
