Time to give EoS another go i guess, thanks for the server!

I'm still stuck with this https://i.imgur.com/pTIUk3O.png plz help

[lastverb]

Few more very minor stuff:
1) You can't transfer cash from company to personal account, even if you don't have loans. Despite what it says 3 lines above slider:
"X is a privately-held company, so you can freely deposit money into it (positive amount) or withdraw money from it (negative amount). Withdrawing may be limited or unavailable if you have a loan."
2) Company networth graphs are 1 day off, while personal ones are not, easily visible when you have only 1 company. Is one being saved before midnight calculation and other after?
3) Creating B2B requests product name has to be specified case sensitive.

Looks like Vlad got bored of offering free opportunities to the server lol.

Well, that makes more sense.

Can you imagine if, in the real world, google would go selling turkey, as apple, and amazon, and the pentagon.

[Zangi]

Also, really isn't the season for moving so many turkeys.  At least in Murica.  Not really that high in demand till November, realistically.

Looks like the whole turkey gravy train is over.

He replaced whole turkeys with even wholer turkeys

Why is frozen chicken's base price less than whole chicken when it takes a whole chicken + other stuff to produce?

[Deagh]

What are the wholesale prices based on?  Some of the wholesale prices seem to be off.  Glass bottles are listed at .20 each for wholesale, but they actually cost more than 50 cents each to make, at least if you haven't yet scaled up to huge amounts of production.  And that means you can't actually sell them on the b2b for enough to cover costs, much less make a reasonable profit, because of the cap to prevent gouging.

So because of the caps the way they are now, it is difficult to get some of the things one needs, without making them yourself.

[n9103]

If you make everything in a chain yourself, your costs shouldn't exceed the wholesale price (by a fair margin).
The more you outsource the production, the more it depends on you buying good near the cost to produce rather than the msrp, in order to remain below wholesale.

As far as the frozen chicken, yea, that's a little weird, though it should be noted that most of the related recipes have better total value than the frozen chicken, more products but at lower base prices.
Seems a bug, or perhaps a statement of the author's dislike of frozen chicken

[Zangi]

Fresh meat products are preferred over frozen....  You freeze em when you can't move the fresh fast enough and sell the frozen stuff at a lower price, even if it is at a loss.  (Bad prediction on sales.)

Technically more realistic, except you can't sell em fresh.

Does the marketing has any effect on sales? Does it make sense to invest there?

[n9103]

It does, on both counts. Though definitely don't over invest.
It makes sense if you've got a new (or newly expanded) market to bring your marketing up to the equilibrium point.
I wouldn't invest to go more than 2x over the equilibrium personally, and only then for high-value stock.
But I'm a noob on this, so grain of salt and all.

Like everyone I've been selling those turkeys, however the moment I decided to start selling stuff I sold... I had such an odd experience, I made energy drinks and I can barely shift them, making like 1000 per tick with them per store, was getting 8-10x that from turkeys. What's worse is when I decided to go for a realistic approach and stock my shops with things -along with- the turkeys, turkey sales fell into oblivion, to the point where a full store cut turkey sales to -20%-

I'm honestly struggling to make a decent amount of money without resorting to that turkey exploit.

Here's a screenshot of my supermarket, as this is the place I'm -not- trying to exploit turkeys

It seems really, really poor sales. Are my expectations just too high?

For a full store to work, the things need to be about the same price or possibly same profit margin.  There's some play there, but selling really cheap and really expensive stuff at the same time just doesn't really work.

There's a post on the ratjoy forum here:  http://www.ratjoy.com/forum/topic/a-single-place-for-all-revealed-formulas/2  that gives the efficiency formulas.  Don't know if it's still valid, but it seems to work at least somewhat like that says.  Right now i have three items in my bake shop and they're all reasonably close to the same profit margin and the price on them isn't all that far off either, and I seem to be doing better overall than if I just have one.
