Research company?
I am restructuring my company in realm 1 and think it might be fun to focus on research. Is this a bad idea? What research would most likely be in demand?

Some people do it, but I'm not aware of anyone who solely does research with no sales/productions buildings. You need a large amount of money to start off with as researchs cost only money and also You're going to need BIG RC's... 14k+ To be able to compete.
Wardrobes, gas, oil, wood, seeds are always in demand

True, it can get a bit hairy at times if no-one wants you're research thoughGoldenEye wrote:But it's a business in which you are personally very inactive and which takes a lot of time.
I would research only for my own and use a high research for my production (e. g. leather jackets as it is a very good business, but not so popular).

This is only an additional risk.
Or what about the case that you have got a business partner that asks you to research something (maybe even "unusual" like breads etc.) up to Q70 or more.
You start researching and after months when you have got the quality you need to find out that your business partner already quit the game.
Yet I want to make clear: If you want to do this business then do it.

Re: Research company?
If you want to start a research business i'd suggest you do it at R2 and not R1.Albedo wrote:I am restructuring my company in realm 1 and think it might be fun to focus on research. Is this a bad idea? What research would most likely be in demand?
In R1 there are already a lot of good researches available.
In R2 these things are less due to having relative new players.
Tho research is very important it also is very difficult business.
And an entire company only researching sounds real bad to.
There are only few researches which are really wanted and you can only research 1 research at a time in one product.
So if you research wardrobes, you can't have 3 of them of 3 different levels, you can only own 1.
Imagine researching a lot of items.
I don't think you can find 20 items to research, and then still you have 40 more buildings left what to do with them??
So a pure research company sounds impossible to me.
Also, low level is cheap, but once you reach levels like 50 you need several millions to research another level.
Where would you get the cash to pay if your research isn't high enough yet?
Like Goldeneye wrote, just research your own business.
Feel free to give it a try and prove us wrong, but i don't think you will succeed proving us wrong
Or do it if you think its fun, but i'm afraid its neither fun nor profitable.

im in realm 2 and a month ago the research buildings were dirt cheap and very big. I have doubled my money already and improved my quality of oil 5 fold. If you do do it you will need alot of big research centers and do not concentrate on 1 or 2 products. I was lucky and just started researching silver just before the contest and made a fortune selling the research. The contests will be the main market and the very competitive markets were you can sell a high research for good money to a new person.

I could see a research business working if:
1. You had a large amount of cash: 500M to 1B (My Q116 research cost me over 80M to research the next level.)
2. If you have large, 10,000m2+, RCs.
3. If you have your main focus on high demand research. (Wardrobes, wood, seeds, oil and gas researches are alway in high demand.)
4. If you are on Realm 2. (Realm 1 has high researches for every product already. If it isn't on the market just say you are buying it and there will be plenty of people willing to sell.)

not so much raw materials. If you have so much research you could keep a certain research and use the high quality. In several markets you could do quiet well selling high q products. I do it with oil. In oil you can sell it 10-30 kaps higher than the average if you have high enough quality products.
If you can get the buildings cheap enough you will make money but don't spend to much on the buildings. You will need at lest 2 big research centres and they can be very expensive or take for ever to build.
You will make money but it is how long it will take. You could spend 300million on research centres but it might take 3 or 4 months to make your money back. Would it be better to invest in a power plant or mine.

I think if you really want to go into the research business and sell your research for contests, why not go in to selling contest products as well?
Buy buildings where you can produce all the contestproducts. And since you already have all the researches, Quality would not be a problem.
you can set your buildings for 2 days, sell the research and start the new research again.
You would have to have big researchbuildings so that when your production is ready your new research is as well.
Then you can set your buildings again and sell the research, and do it all over again.
Example: you need Q4 product for contest.
You have research Q8 which is what you need to produce Q4 product.
It takes 48 hours to get to research Q8.
You set your buildings for 48 hours to produce Q4 product and put the research on the market, then immediatly start up the new research.
(The production of Q4 product will continue no matter if you sold the research).
After 48 hours you repeat the whole sequence again.
Unlike buildings, researches are gone as soon as you put them on the market, they don't have to be sold first, so you can start researching again immediatly.
