Nice to see someone actually getting the code Scott released working (he left out all the DB table population scripts that define all the buildings, products, production jobs, etc).

Is it possible to actually do anything from the "Futile" difficulty start? Or do you just have to sit around for a few weeks mooching quest money and hustling on the B2B market to build up $50k to build a building? Anyone feel like hiring an employee? :)

Next bug:
Can't create new company, always getting "insufficient cash" error. It shows I need 1.25M to start. I have 2M personal cash and 1.5M in my only other company

Bumping this, how did people get multiple companies?

This is just a guess, but I'd imagine there's a higher amount that it actually charges you when you try to start a second company.  If there are multiple checks on how much starting a new company costs, and the amounts weren't changed in all the places, then that would be why it is failing.  But if one had that higher amount, whatever it was on the original server, then it would work.  Mr. Vlad, for example, is worth billions, so whatever the amount was, he likely could have paid it.

Seems resolved (or I passed some magical unknown requirement). Been trying to do it since that post. Managed to create it just now, with 3.5M personal cash. It DID cost 1.25M as written.

He noted in the patch notes that he's fixed it.  Glad it worked!  I'm working towards that, myself, although it will be a while.  I need one more research building for what i have going on in my original company, and I'm out of cheap land there.

It seems withdrawing from a company doesn't seem to work. The popup says to enter a negative value, but it resets itself toward zero after just a few numbers are typed.

There is no withdrawing. Companies aren't allowed to be treated like bank accounts anymore.
You have to collect a salary.

Which is limited to 20% of daily profit + 1M. Also it is easy method of tax evasion (cash transfer to company has lower tax than company income tax and personal income has no tax).

why can't you make alcohol out of potato, corn, wheat, barley etc? seems more economical to make booze out of strawberries, which is rather insane

Found 2 minor issues:
Sold some Cigarette Rolling Paper on B2B, and it does not show the name/picture just a blur. If you hover over the blur the hover text is correct in its name. (Win10 Chrome)

Also, if you change Company Name it doesn't just change the company's name cosmetically, but it appears to literally make a new company identical to the first with the new name and delete the old one. So if you select the company's name it says "The company was not found" rather than directing you to the proper company (this may be an intentional feature rather than a bug).
