Hey, new in this game, got linked out from Utopia

Found it extremely interesting, and also got to know its new in English. Great job to the creator on this!

Noob here, just a Q.

Is there like a tech-tree or something similar, that tells you like if you want to do i.e. to get Gas you need Well + Factory + Gas Station kinda stuff? or its all about reading the whole Help guide and try to figure it out ourselves?

Thanks in advance.

The best ive found so far is to click on the help button in-game, and look at the various products. Many are used in others.. Find something small to start out, that uses only water or electricity to be made... The less things that make it up, the less things you have to buy to be able to make money.

Another tip- when you sell, be sure to look at the current prices for that item. Too many people are selling much to high or low for their items.. And it will end up being a waste of money if youre not careful.

I have another Q this time about Quality.
If one do research on it, what will happen then?

I mean if i were buying it, whats the difference if i buy a Q1 item compare to Q0.

If i were selling it, whats the difference if i sell a Q1 item compare to a Q0?

And I notice (during tutorial) if i research it, i need a sales manager to sell it. Where go i get one? or its a ranking in the game where i need to reach that stage to sell it or something?

Pls advice. Thanks.

Hi,
the prices in the shops also depend on the quality. So, if the average quality of apples shown in the statistics is 3.0 and you sell your apples with a quality of 1.0, you won't be able to achieve the average price for them. You have to sell them cheaper. And on the other hand: if in the case mentioned above, your quality is 4.0, you are able to get a higher price in your shop.

Of course, this also affects the prices on the market: the higher the quality, the higher prices can be achieved.

Hope, this helped

Regards,
Tycoon

Agree, we need some kinda tech tree, building help menu doesnt tell what buildings you need e.x car shop...

Speedmonster also opened a thread regarding to the tech tree in the "Suggestions and Proposals" forum. So in case you want to talk about that, pls refer to http://www.forum.kapilands.com/viewtopic.php?t=180. Thats helps to avoid that we could have two discussions on this...

Thx

Speedmonster, actually there is... not really a tech tree, but the help icon isn't as fancy as a tech tree, but you need to do some back track a little. i.e. if you want to do gas, you look at gas, then it says what it requires then you back track on oil, etc. just manual doing thats all

Another thing just pop up my crazy mind about Quality, hope you guys can enlighten me here.

i.e. Gas (which you need Oil to make) so if i sell gas, i research on Gas which is from Chemical RC. What happen if i research on Oil (from Well & Mine RC), does that effect the quality of Gas at the end? and if i have both, does it boost the overall quality? or if i have a high quality gas, does it automatically produce a high quality Oil (w/o research on it?)

Thanks again for all the help, you guys are great!

Can anyone assist in explaining the following in detail?

"Production time: 0:0:54h. per unit. per h. 66.5"

I don't understand the 66.5 behind the statement

This means 66.5 UNITS per hour. So - during a production time of one hour - your facility will produce an avg. of 66.5 units. one unit - 54 secs -> 66.5 units - one hour.

Thank you AMI

Do anyone knows how can we improve the total number of units in an hour?

Tycoon · Post by **Tycoon** » 24.01.2007, 17:38

The amount increases when hiring new employees. So as soon as you expand and hire people there, you will be able to produce more items per hour.
