A bit of help for a Noobie!

[Guest]

Quite so, Same as the noob mistake I made placing My RC in green. I've left it for now using it till I have enough profit coming in to replace and expand in red before demolishing it.

Not only your RC is (in my opinion) misplaced

Doesn't matter, I had to put EVERYTHING in yellow when I first started... And it takes AGES plus costs a lot of money, when you want to change it without resetting...

I'm thinking sally mayhaps has forgot what it is like down here when ya just start?

With one well and one factory you are only going to manage about 2000 gas production/day. With just one shop expanded to 40m2 you can cover that in 24 hours at a better profit than you can sell on the market.... plus it is stable income, you are not going to have your cashflow wrecked by someone undercutting you with a large sale and your goods waiting for a day or three before being bought.

Case in point I have a batch of gas that has been on market for 36 hours... when I put it up the lowest was 28... I put mine at 27, within minutes someone had put 300k units on at 26 and others lower followed... if I had not had other avenues of cashflow I'd have been stuck waiting.... or had to eat the loss of the sales 10% and relisted it lower.... only to take another risk of it happening again.

Sell excess production as you grow by all means, but that one small shop can make a big difference down here when production is this low.

I haven't forgotten, that is why I suggest to sell the gas to other players instead of putting it in a store.

Ofcourse you can if you want to, but i think finding someone who will buy it from you by contract is more profitable, or you can do both:
In order to make profit in your small shop try and buy your gas from a player so you can get a good quality which will sell quicker, first buy a little and try it out, just play and test, that is the best way to get the hang of it and find out how your shop works.

When I started I actually did not buy shops right away,I just sold raw materials, and when I finally bought a shop I kept expanding it until a decent size.

i agree u will get a stable income with gas stations but i assure u its better to sell to players.... just make a sale thread and if u put 22+q ull get good offers.... there r many ppl who will accept even low quality..

Well the best idea would be to make oil rather than gas and have a research centre where u research gas and ofcourse one for oil too then when u have a decent research(lyk maybe 6 for both)u can sell gas as well.(it takes less than a day to get to 4 i think)

if u make oil:
Build well in yellow- 240k
Build well in yellow- 240k
Build mine and well RC in red- 150k

Total-630k

U can make now 1400 oil daily sell this on the market at around 65-70 or get a small purchaser who will accept such small quantity.Buy the power

u will need 140k power for this.
Buyin at around 0.1 costs 14k

To make 1400 oil it costs you 12600

That totals to 26.6k

And your profit per barrel oil will be

Power= 0.1 * 100= 10
Cost= 9
Total= 19

There is also the pay the building factor but i dunno how much u shud pay

if we take it to be 20 CP and u sell at 65 then that makes u a 45
