ANNOYING OVERPRICES - MARY

You can already guess what I mean , the natural resources . "The smart boys" that make some good money out of this resources , simply hate competition . This are the examples :

1. BAUXITE

2. CHROME

3. COPPER PYRITES

4. CACAO

5. COTTON

6. ORANGES

7. FLOWERS , HERBS AND AROMATIC PLANTS

8. TOBACCO

9. CORN

10. DIAMOND , GOLD & PEARLS

11. SALMON ( FISH )

12. ANIMALS

"The smart boys" thought that if they invest some money in this game , they will rule the server . They are actually doing this . It seems that "#1 - Bauxite" is the most influential economic weapon in this game . The principle is simple , if you own a bauxite quarry , money starts to flow . You can buy it in 2 different ways :

1. MY COMPANY / ENTERPRISES / ENTERPRISE AUCTIONS / AUCTIONS FOR THE VIRTONOMICS MONEY

2. MY COMPANY / ENTERPRISES / BUY ENTERPRISES / STATE ENTERPRISES

This is the cheapest bauxite quarry you can buy with game points , only 29 game points . That means 29$ investment in your company . If you want to make serious money in this game , I recommend to buy this quarry .

But what can you do with bauxite in this game ? Building a factory , it can produce Duralumin , Allyoed Duralumin , Aluminium alloy and Aluminium . Duralumin is used for the airplane and car manufacturing . Aluminium is used for household , electronics , medical equipment and restaurant equipment , depending on the quality :

The restaurant equipment is very expensive in both servers ( mary & lien ) .

What is the price of bauxite , aluminium and duraluminium ?

This is the "lowest" price for bauxite . As you can see , this guy is selling only max. 1000 pieces per game update . It has also a "very high" quality of 1.00 . What a deal , what a super deal !!!

Let's say , you ACCIDENTALY bought 1000 pieces , that will ACCIDENTALY cost you more than 6 million $ and you want to use it for production . Something that can maybe bring you money are Duralumin and Aluminium . And it will look like this :

BANG ! You can't produce Duralumin , because of the quality . The only thing you can produce is Aluminium. You will also need other expensive minerals for a quality modifier . But let's say you produce "the classic one" , only with 2 pieces Bauxite for 1 piece Aluminium . That means you will need ~15000$ for 1 piece . Don't forget that you need a factory , equipment and workers . 

CALCULATION : 1000 pieces + factory + equipment + worker's salary = ?

1000 pieces = more than 6 million.

600 worker factory = 1.7 million.

salary = depending on the country . 

equipment = ~2 million.

5 game weeks = TOO MUCH TIME !

Your "deal" is 10 million worth . Let's continue.

What are the prices of Aluminium or Duralumin if you just buy them  ?

 DURALUMIN

ALUMINIUM

TOTAL OVERPRICE !!! The best deal is to buy your own quarry and develop it . You need to be careful , that the mines have a limited amount of pieces .

UPDATE !!!

Sooo , the developers had a great idea to introduce this update !!! And it is perfect for every new player , to understand in a simplier and better way the game mechanics and different calculations needed for your factory . And it looks like this :

You can always change to the old interface by clicking the red button ! 

Let's study the important parts of this update .

The work efficiency

As you can see , the work efficiency at the moment of update was 100% . Now , you can see what is going to happen with the efficiency in the future (next update) by pressing the FORECAST .

Top Manager

This is my favorite update . The qualification and number of employees are shown . Interesting , but just for my own statistic . 

And now what really matters , the FORECAST again . 

Not only the factory interface was innovated , even the TOP MANAGER page looks better and some tips are added too .
