Virtonomics Episode 18

HOW I MET YOUR VIRTONOMICS


Sorry for posting this story , but I find it very interesting . The story is how I played Virtonomics for the very first time . I was in 11th grade , 2 years ago , and I wanted to try different types of strategy games . Not only the classic , browser , war games and shooters . And I found this virtual business simulator . 

Hmmm ... Let's try it !

The interface was pretty . I checked the subdivisions and it's roles. It was hard for me to set the efficiency and to supply my stores . I couldn't understand , why this game is so hard !? Then , the biggest problem , key words . What are assets? But market share? I played it only for 2 days . In my mind , it was too difficult . The mechanics were so different to other games . 

Now , playing again since november , 2 years after , this simulator seems to be fascinating . Maybe it's because I study economics . I can't call Virtonomics a game anymore . Having even a virtual company seems to be very hard , because there are 3 factors that need to be unterstood and practiced :

1. Competition
2. Price
3. Time

All these factors lead to one thing , marketing experience .

Virtonomics Episode 16

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 .

What is actually this stock ? There are people in this game , with trillions of money . Basically , they have too much . They can buy and sell Virts for money . These Virts , depending on the server , have a different value . You can buy them cheap and sell the expensive or you can just convert your money in Virts . The stock is refreshed daily . It doesn't make sense to follow it , if you don't have at least the money to buy one .
