Unfortunately, I started off on CI 1, it takes 5 hours and 48 minutes for a rig to make 2 units of water. So really, this world is kind of bad. Even if I sell the water at 100, it will take me two months to pay off buying a rig here.

Are you double-rigging it? I was prodding my numbers yesterday and realized that with 1rig/1foodprocessor, I actually run a 500$ deficit a day, after accounting for expenses... so I bit it and overpaid for a second rig, but at least now I can turn a 650$ profit a day. Which means it'll also take me a little under two months for another rig. Which'll put me at a deficit again, since I need more people and more housing, which is more expenses, and... uggggh. (...And, upon closer observation, it's way more profitable to run three 3rig/0fp on my planet, which you have the assets to do so from the start. Sigh.)

I started as a carbon farmer, so I started with 2 farmsteads and an incinerator. In all seriousness, I should go COLIQ then restart on montem.

Oh wow. I get 7 water in 4 hr 37 minutes. Which is enough to run my food processor and both farms 24/7 growing food and making drinking water. Was going to install another 2 farms soon and probably not even need another water thing. Maybe I should get a second rig and try exporting water or something lol.

I feel that starting as a carbon farmer without any water rigs isn't the way to go - you're constantly going to have to be paying for water to grow the plants you're turning into carbon.

My restarted corp (also a carbon farmer) went 1 farm / 1 incinerator / 2 rigs (note, needed to sell my fuel to afford that) and seems to be doing okay so far.

The Metallurgist start gives a lot of resources. I started as that and sold my carbon and some fuel and bought more parts on the market and I have 4 farms 2 rigs and a food processor.

Can concur. It was worth starting over as the metallurgist.

Right away have 2 pioneer habitats, 2 farms+3 water rigs+a food processor and still have a ton of ICA to spend

metallurgist is OP as hell lol

[Paul]

What I did was look at the materials to build the starting buildings and realised metallurgist stuff was like 50% more stuff than the victual one lol. So I restarted.

Yeah thanks for the tip lol. That is such a big headstart its massive.

At least right now, by far the best start to choose out of all the other ones.

I think the game needs some balancing Such an OP start lol

I've begun carbon farming on Montem, because I think the high price is worth it maybe, but damn is it slow.

They released a Apex update today!

Spoiler: changelog (click to show/hide)

Version
Server: 0.6.16
Client: 0.6.8

General Notes
If your APEX console is stuck in a loading state after the update, please make sure to refresh it once after the update to ensure you got the latest version.

New features
You can now close your whole account through the account management interface (“hub”). Your account/company within the game itself will be automatically deleted as well. Note that if you have an account with our other game AirlineSim, this will be affected as well!
New in-game alert for when new release notes (like the ones you’re reading right now) are available.
URLs pasted to a chat are now properly recognized as such and linked.
Valid CX/FX tickers in chat messages get replaced by auto-updating inline quotes.
Changes
Consumption of supplies by your workforces is now based on the required amount of staff, not the habitation capacity. Not 100% sure which effect this will have on existing populations, their satisfaction and consumption. But either way everything should be back to normal quickly.
Needs table is now grouped by population level instead of need category as to not confuse beginners who don’t know that there is a need for OVE listed towards the end of the matrix.
When joined, users now leave the public channel when their company is deleted.
TRA command now shows the latest list of videos.
There is a new market maker that sells Solar Panels (SP) in order to be able to keep the CoGCs running.
The two recipes for Carbohydrate Grains (GRN) are now more distinguished. The recipe using more water is quicker.
The market makers for Sulfur, Caliche and Neon will not buy these commodities anymore.
There are new Carbon (C ) recipes to speed up production at the cost of more input materials.
The building costs of the buildings Incinerator (INC), Prefab Plant 1 (PP1) and Basic Material Plant (BMP) have been lowered.
Fixes
Reduced the boost workforces receive from CoGC programs to 10%
Fixed the button that allows shareholders to leave a corporation
Placeholders in chat messages are not matched in the middle of words anymore
The list of users online was not sorted correctly
Added missing localization for a few materials and material categories

[Biowraith]

Also, don't click the NOTS button for now, it breaks the interface.  They're working on a fix.

[AlStar]

Aww, apparently my (successfully) selling water for 250 a pop in the CI 1 marketplace has annoyed people enough that I'm getting competition. Ah well, it was sweet while it lasted.

Semi-seriously thinking of restarting (again) as a metallurgist on Montem, just to take advantage of the extra materials / starting sellable carbon, but I think I'll probably stick with what I've currently got - I'm definitely in a better place than I was on my initial start.

[Xardalas]

Finally managed to get my business going on Montem. Got two water rigs, three farms and a food processor. Should be churning out all sorts of goodies soon enough.

[Biowraith]

Assuming my dwindling consumables don't run out before then (tanking production times), in 17 hours I will have 38 Hydrogen and 174 Oxygen ready for the trip to NC1.  I suspect I may have some difficulty shifting that much Oxygen at this stage in the economy, but there seems to be a decent demand for Hydrogen.

[FakerFangirl]

Can't leftclick plots.
Tried a different browser now I can't queue production orders.
