Quality of products

[Guest]

Does anybody really bother with quality anymore? i know some of the longer playing members really liked to get their quality production up, the market used to be full of overpriced products at 100,000,000 caps so companies could show what quality they were producing without them selling, or has Kapi become more a Q0 place? i understand prices can be way higher for Q0 but still to research all components needed for products or to gain excellent contacts or deals with companies so you can buy high Q materials for your own production has always given a feeling of achievement,

I know Hellenic used to like to buy textiles at high Q so he could keep his bike quality up but he is gone now and talking to other car producers they always had a certain pride in the quality they could produce bearing in mind the division involved in Q points with their products, jackets for me i've researched all my techs from Q0 jackets/leather/textiles and met some of the best suppliers which have been supplying me for way over a year maybe two (or even a little more) and they all kept researching which has helped increase my qualities and i'm thankfull they still log on and play, it's just you look on the market and quality doesn't seem to mean that much anymore, anybody else still interested in the qualities they can produce?

I still take pride in my Oil research, trying to get it as high as possible.

I was researching TVs to get a good price for them in stores and on contracts. Now I'm using only 1 E-Factory to supply 6 Full expanded E-Stores and I don't produce for other players any more. Why? Q0 Electronics are sold very well!
So... I stopped researching TVs at Q100 and started researching cabriolets.
BTW: I'll buy some High-Q Textiles when I'll get high enough with my cabriolets Quality.

No stock of fullstops in your warehouse?


I still research on realm 2. But since my business is a bit special, there's no demand on the market for my products. I'm the Kapi-Arab Pork Queen. I am now producing Q26 sausages for the Kapi-Arabs (and Turkey), and I am setting up shop in France and Germany in a week or so. I have my own chain of products so I never buy anything (other than water & power) for my sausage production. It keeps the prices low and I have better control.

Realm 1 is pretty much the Special Building realm so there's basically no need to research quality there in my opinion. Everything I produce there are Q0 and are mainly sold on the market. The (overall) toy market has gone bonkers so I can't focus on that as much as I did.
Oh wait. I do have quality on Realm 1. I have a buyer of quality chemicals. I forgot because I bought high quality research for it ages ago and didn't have a facility.

In realm 2 i just buy wardrobes and the higher Q the better. However i am still researching alot, just not producing anything.
In realm 1 i gonna start producing Q0 items for the special buildings. Had to sell alot of furniturestores for that (NYK knows all about it lol)
In dutch realm i produce High Q wood and stones.

Andro you are so well known for the sausages although more as the 'sausage guy'* and its great you continue producing and researching them. I think its pretty safe to assume you will always dominate the sausage market the diversity is good though amd shows you can pretty much do what you want and go your own way in the game. Your company has been mentioned occassionally to me so you do have a little kapifame/notoriety.

*Little unfortunate as your female so it should really be sausage lady.

Also no I'll try to stock up my , is in a much easier location to press on my screen, maybe a little lazy though..

@OBHD yeah I know all about it only a few more to go and I'm back to maxed out fully again. I would already be there and you a few more free slots but I blew quite a few caps gaining my Kapi silver and bronze medals and its taking a few months to recover.

Yeah I remember I have been mistaken for a guy in the past. It's not a big deal. But I wasn't aware that my business and I have been talked about. I do remember popping in a few weeks ago and finding someone very confused over the fact that the sausage stats are as high as they are in Kapi-Middle East.

Well, if someone were to start a sausage business I'd recommend good quality and large shops before even contemplating selling. Also to make a good balance of production and sales because, and it's no secret, you do not get rich on sausages! But it sure is fun!

I was mainly kidding about your missing full stops. I noticed it because I found something interesting and was looking for the start of the sentance to not miss anything. But I had to go to the very start to actually find it.

[Guest]

Hi, for new people it's good to produce Q0, as I'm such a player. It's just good to have a decent income so I can research everything atm don't have any idea what I'm gonna produce as endproduct, so everything researching is needed.

[Guest]

Contest products/ Q0 products have always been a good way to start and in quite a few cases will be profitable even as companies get larger. The only difference later on is the drop in production rates which makes retailing a tempting option and with that quality definately helps the higher the quality the better. It just depends on if you find a product you enjoy producing and if you can get supplies in order to keep up with production/store fills which is getting harder with quite a few products. I bet there's a few players that did concentrate on production/retail that had to change their plans due to supply problems which would be pretty annoying if you have invested a year or so building up your company.

[Guest]

Also it all depends on planning everything out, but I also wanna become some high-Q products but research cost alot of time and money.
Then you have also epantions to calculate in it, and you speak about 1 year time to have a decent company.
I did build every building so if there is a comp and my research is high enouhg i could get some extra cashflow, as for now it has worked for me, but now I have to make some crucials to optimalise a productionchain(read 3 chains). It will not be one of the polular ones, food, ice and beverage chains look intresting and offcourse because of that I have one extra a fruitchain .

In the dutch realm ive decided to split it up and get me a sure income from stones while starting up a second line with lesser profitable goods aswell just for fun and variety.

I find this thinking much more refreshing than the wardrobe producers.
Are you producing in R1 or R2? Just curious.

[Guest]

@sausage-lady.
It's R2.

But beware curiosity killed the cat.
The only thing I'm not sure of is the product.(It's down till 3 for now potatoes, lamb & candy bars).

@OBHD.

Got my power and water lines to take over the losses, and also some other factorys for Q0 goods.(but I'll need to cut them down, need a decent produktion line setting tho, no premium atm).

I always try to maintain the highest quality possible with my products, I only really produce wardrobes and oil at the moment, but I'm doing Q39 oil (Q40 in a few hours ;o ) and Q25 wardrobes. They aren't particularly high, but my mantra is that if I can deliver a higher quality to my contractors then I will, even if it cuts my profit.
