comparison of top industries

Post by Guest » 05.03.2009, 21:23

Hello!

As far as I know the most profitable products in Kapilands are: gas, wardrobes, leather jackets, cabriolets. And thus we have 4 top industries.
Does anybody make a detailed comparison of these industries?
F.i. if we take 4 shops of the same size and fill them with products of equal quality with the same total cost - which of the shop will give the best profit?
Or another comparison: if I invest 500mil caps in research of the main product, where will I get the best profit from my research?
And many many more other comparisons....

Or I can formulate my question simpler:
why do players prefer one industry but not another?

You would get the most for your money in research from gas as it requires so few products compared to Cbas, wardrobes and leather jackets. I chose it as it was a very easy market to get into quickly and research means more, even though you only get 1 extra cap per Q level.

Also people tend to be in wardrobes as peopel sell them- Jewellry+furni stores both give 8,000caps per m2 (or something wierd like that) and this is the most per building the whole game. As the jewellery market changes a lot large players go into furni stores and the biggest market there is wardrobes, therefore a large player who has lots of furni stores for the fact that they are worth the most per m2 will need to buy a lot of wardrobes and competition starts-thus making the prices rise and therefore a VERY LARGE and profitbale industry :)

Almost nobody sells convertibles, except for marxer.

I cannot speak for leather jackets but I can for Pullovers.

If you where to buy Pullovers from the market at 400 + 5Q, like I do, you can make around 1.1M caps PROFIT per 15,000m2 Textile Store. (That number comes from Q47 Pullovers selling at a price maximizing profits.)

Let me describe my situation and the reason of this topic.
Currently I produce wood and I was going to switch to furniture industry. But currently I cannot find any reason for that except for high FA - and I don't need this.
Maybe it's better to turn to Textile industry? Or get a manager level, sell all plantations and switch to gas? How can I choose a right direction now?
If you have good suggestions - I will be very thankful :)

you can continue with wood
i am wood maker myself and you get good profit if you have some high quality
i am making q27 wood and i buy everything of market and still have more than 50 caps profit per wood
wood business is good because more and more players go into wardrobes business and wood prices are rising.
1 month ago you could barely sell wood at 65 but now you get good income from it
and it is easy to make alot of it i have 343 mil FA but only like 200 mil FA are from wood making and i make almost 1 mill wood per day so it is like 50 mil profit daily
so i sugest you continue with wood
but if you dont like wood go into gas because it is easy to make higher q
you just need high q oil and high q gas reearch if you intend to make your own gas and oil
but you can buy gas and make the oil(there is a guy that you send your oil and he gives you gas)
or make gas and buy oil
depends on you. I suggest going into wadrobes when you have more FA and more cash as it is a really expensive business

So, you produce q27 wood. To do this, you need q70 research.
And if you have gas q70 research you make q23 gas
Usually you get 0.5c per Q for wood (f.i. 69+0.5Q) and 1c per Q for gas (f.i. 27+1Q). As you see, it's completely unprofitable to invest into wood research, because gas research gives better results much faster.

Does anybody here knows about textile situation on the market? Is it worth it to start producing cotton, then textile then some wear?

Wells and oil on the last few days have been very profitable, producing oil Q31 (need research Q62) and selling it by contract for over 170,00 caps each.

alot of people here dont seem to calculate everything in. To do the two main business talked about here.

Gasproducer and wood producer.
First you go to the research. For oil and gas you need less research to gain higher quality (power, oil and gas and power and oil). For wood however you need seed and wood (seeds and water and wood, seeds, water and power. So its slower to reach higher Q wood then gas.

When you calculate the building times, then its alot faster to expand plantations then wells. So you can produce alot more wood then gas in the same time.

For wood you need only one type of building, for gas you need wells and factories.( both expand slower then plantations)

For gas you only need power, for wood you need waterand power.

For gas, there is only one retailer. For wood there are different. Offcourse wardrobes is the biggest.

The amount of time it takes to produce oil and gas compared to the amount of seeds and wood produced.

Also, when is it time to change from producer to retailer.


I might not have even stated the entire list of things to consider when chosing between gas and wood but there are already plenty. Not making the choise easier. When you do some more research you can find out the netto cost/profit between buildings and when you calculate the expansion time ( very important) in, you might find that probably most products can compare to eachother.

When you dont need a certain product for any of the special buildings, they might sell for high prices in retailshops( toys sell for crap in stores but sell for alot on the market for kindergartenbuildings).


For as far as i get this game, specialsing in one or two products works out the best along with contracting and your name. CMB is known and specialezed in wardrobes.

There are alot of people specialized but not know so they get contracts send to them or are restricted to the market or there one supplier.

Others are very well known but try to do everything, they get along but still grow slower then people with a certain specialization but faster then people that never post a fax.

So many things to consider in such a small game.

OBHD pls send me mesage with how to calculate which product is better
what is better wood or gas?>?

OBHD thanks a lot for your detailed answer!
Yes, I didn't calculate the cost for building expansion, but it's a significant factor in choosing the right product.
Warrior, there is no exact answer, everybody choose the product by many factors, and as I understand OBHD - every product may be very profitable if you manage your companies smart.

I can speak for wood too. I make about 1.4 million daily (R2) and gross 90 million daily, taking into consideration seed, water, power and production cost i make about 50.5 per unit meaning a profit of 54.1 million daily
