Producing vs. selling cost

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 17.08.2007, 20:27

My buisness is producing cattle, but it seems to cost me more to produce the cattle than i can get when i sell it. Am i mistaking, or is there something im doing wrong.
I realy need to figure this out cause i cant realy get on with building my empire, if i dont make a profit from produced goods.

thanks for your help.

i started out with cattle as well. it was a horrible mistake. cattle has sold for less than production value for quite some time if i have read the posts on the subject correctly. if that really is the business you want to be in then build a butcher shop and buy cattle to make into beef.

read the FAQ. you will find many good guides there.

im thinking about starting off with wood. I have read a bunch of posts with people in the same situation as me, and it seems i'll be well on my way if i get a decent wood production going.
But i still dont get what difference the qual of the wood makes.

Cant wait till i dont have to ask all theese newbe questions, but i guess thats life when you start playing a new game.

Yes wood is awesome. i almost wish i would have started with wood (after my aborted cattle business that is) instead of steel, but in the long run i think working towards steel (via coal) helped me learn alot more about the game than i would have otherwise. Now that i'm slowly breaking into the wardrobe business i'm glad of the experience i gained from working my way up the production chain.

i think wardrobe is not good.. unless you have your own furniture store or high Q wardrobe.

try leather jacket.. you still can make profit from it even you don't have your own textile store ^^

Wardrobes were much better until today. The few big companies that buy them dropped their prices. Some are offering just a tad more than the value. i guess that means i'm just going to rearrange my build order again..........for the thousandth time hehe.

Yeah im going for wood now, for sure, cause i just got a very unpleasent surprice!

A friend of mine who also play the game and happen to know the account-into to my mailbox, thought i would help me out and sell me some steel at a very very low price, and the have my company sell them for a huge profit. I guess at first it seemed like a good idea, but when i tryd to log in a few mins ago, i got a message that said my account had been deleted!..

So now im starting all over again.. hip hip hurray for my friends stupidity!

I didn't actualy let him do it, he log in to my mailbox, got my login to kapilands, and then he [censored] it up for me.
But actualy all i lost were a few days, and it reset my account so i dont have to think about the few bad builds i had done.
