I'm always surprised when I see people on the internet not having developed a relativistic stance about social groups.

I mean, 'foreigner' is both meaningless and transitive on the world wide web.

However, the factories had been built. Better use them and sell the sub par part on b2b than let them stagnate.

Agreed, just saying to stop spending more money building and upgrading factories. We're not even utilizing all those auto factories, where all the money is supposed to come from >:(

We're also spending way too much on R&D. R&D buildings are expensive. And researching stuff like prospector, when all the really high quality stuff is available on the market for cheap, seems kind of a waste.

BTW, I've got enough personal money to start a new company... I'm thinking of making a subcontractor for Auto Union that trades purely on B2B. Anything I should specialize in? Car bodies? Chemicals? Ugh, don't really have much time to crunch numbers, busy all friday and weekend.

I applied for a production manager position. I would be grateful if you would accept me.

So, does production need to do anything at the moment?

Production needs to make sure that the factories are all constantly running. Make something, anything, we'll find a way to sell it for profit somehow somewhere.


BTW, I made a document to make all this coordination easier.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/15T7OBoVhlcjVauEMX5VuNZe5dg4vy08Kbsn2ZHRJnvA/edit

"4 hours worth of production" doesn't really help much with orders, since there's tons of poor documentation to sift through to find out what's needed. At least with this we can get clear orders.

PM me in game for access, so I know it's you, since I don't want random lurker trolls and industrial spies messing up orders. I'm Rorul Kunullung in game.

Getting some research done, buying stuff (a bit of electricity, our power plant is way too small)

EDIT: Would seem I can't buy from B2B despite being a sales manager. Annoying. Ah well

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.

That's why I made the doc, to get a shopping list :P Don't really want to keep browsing through this thread to know what to buy and what not to buy.

our first car body, built from coal and iron, silicon and tungsten is out

Code: [Select]
Car Body Q19 Count 2 Cost $7.90 k
we're selling those at 80k, for a tenfold gain. I think they net more this way than as car, as our engines are still somewhat limited in quality

each of those used a hundred of steel, quality 33. slow to come by; the smelter is currently overworked
