Posted on Feb 4, 2012 Any idea on when it will be released? And would quality affect the value of raw material when you sell it. |

Posted on Feb 4, 2012 (Last edited on Feb 4, 2012) Thanks Garry, actually I do need a little help...this is about the future of East Eosia Company. Would you like it more if I associate the company (and future companies) with real world countries (and use their flags), or fictional ones? Update: I know this sounds lame, but I just cut my left hand while slicing an avocado in mid-air. So I'll probably be typing slowly today. On the other hand, that avocado tasted pretty good - and is soft. |

Posted on Feb 4, 2012 I would say make it a mix, the fictional companies, some based on historical ones.

Posted on Feb 4, 2012 (Last edited on Feb 4, 2012) I'll use real world countries and flags, with fictional companies.Mainly because I'm lazy and this is just easier. As for the raw material prices, don't expect them to go too high, just know those companies are "evil" and will try to keep the purchasing prices low. |

Posted on Feb 5, 2012 Allowing raw material prices to go very high wouldn't be bad really, as long as one could easily switch out what factories you have (sell them off without selling of the entire company), as then the players could try to take advantage of such opportunities. I do understand reasons to not do so though. |

Posted on Feb 5, 2012 One thing I sort of hate about my programming style is... whenever I try to add a new function, I can't help but get creative about functions to add later on.So please don't be surprised by the new B2B getting more "complicated" than necessary, I'm sure you could have guessed the reason behind what I'm thinking: great powers going to war with each other, and price discounts based on goodwill. |

Posted on Feb 5, 2012 (Last edited on Feb 5, 2012) Nothing wrong with complex systems, I've been an EvE player for 7 years now, and also a long time Dwarf Fortress player, can't find many games beating that in complexity :D All that matters is a good and quick to use interface. |

Posted on Feb 7, 2012 With the import function it looks like a lot of people are making a ton of money from sales in the supermarket. For example Jacko Investments store sales went from $45 million to $230 million. Was it intensional that you would be able to sell what you bought from forign countries on the supermarket for twice what you paid for and still easily sell products? (Also, according to my friend apples sell 5x faster than all the other starting fruits at the same price)

Posted on Feb 7, 2012 (Last edited on Feb 7, 2012) Thanks for the input Walter. The current price multiplier is at 1.8 (which is about a 224% boost to sales quantity)The price multiplier was at 3 before the stores got changed, and after the change I've been secretly lowering this number in the past few days. Originally the plan is to get the stores making money, so the plantation owners can sell their things high over the B2B to grow fast too, but I guess those plantations are just too small to take advantage of this. In the meantime I'll be gradually lowering the multiplier to somewhere near 1.2. As for apples selling better than anything else, it shouldn't. The only reasons for this to happen would be the following: higher average sold price in the past (world), higher quality (your apples), lower average quality of previously sold apples (world). Another thing is, as the average quality of a product goes up, you can expect their sales to decrease significantly. Of course, getting the average quality up will also kill the sales of lower quality domestic goods, but that can't be helped. EDIT: and I forgot to mention, Jackos probably tried a few different values, fitted an equation, and did some calculus to optimize his profit - but he's probably operating at a much lower profit margin than before, hence the intimidating sales revenue. |
