Expanding my stores.... Question?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 06.03.2007, 21:20

I am sure this has been covered somewhere, but for clarification, when I expand my stores, I know that I can stock more product, and this is determined by the size, but is the number of employees related to the amount of time to sell the additional product, and is this relatively proportional? In other words, can I assume a E:4 4m store will hold twice the amount and sell twice as fast as a E:2 2m store?

Just so ure 100%

E:2 20qm will sell 2000 gas in the same time E:4 40qm will sell 4000. E:8 80qm will sell 8000 gas in the same time that E:2 20qm sells 2000 gas and E:4 40qm sells 4000 gas.

I read somewhere that there is a slight loss on rates for expansions compared to a new building. But maybe this is only for production rates of production buildings and not for sales? Anyone know?

There is a 0.5% efficiency rate too, so at very high levels it will sell a LITTLE faster than that for bigger stores!

When u expand production buildings there is a slight loss.

eg 2 factory E:20 20 qm will produce marginaly more than 1 factory E:4 40qm

However sale buildings sell at exactly the same rate/capacity

So having 10 E:2 20qm gasstations is exactly the same as having 1 E: 20 200qm gasstation

OK, thanks Phoenix. That's what I was wondering.

I think that's just because of the rounding

Well whatever it is becasue, you do get slightly less with an expanded building vs more basic ones

Well E:2 20 m

well, maybe it's not the rounding, bacause i made a little program to count the amounts of products to set and it's not very exact, so maybe there's some formula for that

i think its done like this so that you DO build 2 buildings instead of expanding 1 ... making it the BETTER and CHEAPER investment for new players ... however, pushing the players who have been around longer to expand - because then cannot just build 20m buildings (as there is a limit) so they are forced to spend more money, on more expensive buildigns than the new players - giving the new players a chance to catch up some if they make some nice deals

The only word I disagree with in what Getus has said is BETTER.

I really feel it is down to how the player wants to play their company, and automatic advise of this nature, leaves out certain facts.

Don't want to go into too much depth here but in this thread I have:

actually it's better for beginners to expand their buildings, because they use less materials for that (which I didn't know at the begining) and also they have huge amounts of resources in the warehouse, so it costs only the money and the start might be faster

i wish i knew this at the begining
