Posted on Apr 17, 2012 Currently there is no way to create caffeine except trough having a food processing plant. Despite this caffeine is mainly used in the beverage factory. I think you should at least add the option to make caffeine in that beverage factory.

Posted on Apr 17, 2012 The issue I have with is that it doesn't make sense. Caffeine is mostly used in drinks, why is the production tied into processed food?

Posted on Apr 17, 2012 Perhaps the soaking-and-filtering caffeine reclamation systems typically used to separate caffeine from beans at large scale are more at home with the line equipment used at a food processing plant than a beverage factory.Perhaps someone with deep pockets and a stake in the caffeine industry has arranged the situation just so through industrial positioning and corporate lobbying because it benefits them and to hell with common sense. Perhaps a wizard did it. |

Posted on Apr 17, 2012 (Last edited on Apr 17, 2012) And, further to all that, a little bit of odd cross-sector stuff makes things more interesting. I aggressively stock my cafe, primarily with DIY from-scratch products, but there's a few things I don't sell regularly because they're not importable and they touch on a couple additional manufacturing that I just don't want to bootstrap. And so I'm left with the long-term strategic question of whether to get into those production lines after all, or to try and set up a more costly per-unit wholesale relationship with another company to get a regular stock of the finished products or of the ingredients that I can't make internally, or to just continue to forgo the added store revenue from stocking those items. It's an interesting challenge that emerges from the lack of a straight-and-narrow procession from plantation to factory to store. |

Posted on Apr 17, 2012 While we're at ths, can making at the beverage factory makes little sense when compared with other products...

Posted on Apr 17, 2012 Yup, you have to ask yourself how fully-integrated you want to be. I bit the bullet, opened a second company, and am running fully 20 different factories and 13 R&D facilities. One of these factories is dedicated to paper cartons, another to roast beef. Two others produce exactly two products each; my favourite is the smelter, where I make aluminum and glass bottles, a wonderful pairing.Funny you should mention caffeine, one of my R&D facilities is an industrial R&D that researches caffeine and nothing but. If you don't want to do it, you have my sympathy, but it can be done! |

Posted on Apr 18, 2012 aye +1 to mister deathi opened a new companies to do things my main company cant if you want to progress caffeine faster then strike a deal with someone. e.g. if you buy your coffee beans from me then you can focus all your money on the processing plant instead of your plantation = more caffeine per day through expansion. I only take human orders (dont b2b unless excess))but i'm pretty confident i can supply your coffee beans withthout breaking a sweat... |
