First steps in Kapiland

Post by Guest » 16.09.2009, 05:27

I started the game yesterday and will tell how i started and got awared of the process.

First of all i followed all the tutorial instructions.
When it was completed i had over 200,000 cash.
I decided to buy food factory, i did it very fast without knowing that its only one possibility to buy any production, because the next plant can be built only after u earn 2 million and get next level. so that's it, i can produce some crops now and i started with corn. At the same time i produced apples in fruit plantation and smth else in plantation. So all my production units worked at every single moment). Researches was also followed, i improved first of all corn, then seeds ( by the way seeds are given by the server have Q0, so after reseaching Q1, u must produce them urself, otherwise ur seeds will stay Q0). I decided to research each product to Q1 first because it is cheap, Q2 10 times more expensive and takes much time.
After corn production completed, i produced flour, then bread.
In grocery store i was selling products. It took me some time to arrange price and customers demand so that sales speed be equal to production time and no units was out of work at some moments. I was really sorry that 2 products can not be selled at the same time in grosery. Later on i hope to purchase other outputs and my sales go up rapidly).
In the late evening water finished. Prices stucked me, but what to do. I can not produce anything without water and i had to buy some on the market. Really i need much much much water.
So by the second morning i earned zero :D and i got no clue how 2 millions can be obtained. :?

thanks a lot. Yes i am in realm 2, but i can not produce beef, i only have food factory, plantation and fruit plantation. may be anyone needs, for example, corn? :D. I assume that i will make my first million by the next year in the least :D.

I checked in finance section my today's profit is -1000. Good result.

Am i right that i can make money only on store sales and on market sales? or i can get acquinted with other players and get direct contracts?

You can also take a look at the buy section in this forum, there you can see what players need, and you can send them a contract with the product.

I would also suggest you start over with your company and don't do the tutorial next time.
Just buy plantations and mines to produce stones and wood and well for water.
Those are products that sell well and make good cash for a beginning company. :D

As Sally suggested maybe a restart without the tutorial might help...

I have sent you an IGM...

I decided to continue with my small business leaving power and water supplies to business sharks.

I made another mistake when hired extra employee in grocery store, which costed me extra 1500 salary each day. Finally i fired one and payed compensation. This means i am in minus again. :D. this guy must be very happy now leaving this place with 1500 in the pocket 8) .

Besides easy money is not that interesting.

You only pay employee's once.
Hire him again because you need him, he increases production.

First, reset your account.

In Game

>> Start over with tutorial !

Then pick a product to produce.
Good main businesses:
Wardrobes
Golden Necklaces
TVs
Gas
Oil
Wood

Pick the main business and focus on making and retailing the final products. Buy the products needed as it will give you extra building spaces which will come in handy down the road.

Remember to build buildings in the currect area, too.

I did as everybody said, started again from the begiining. Produce power and water, but noone buy it on the market though i set minimum price :D. what to do?

You priced your power at 0.15, the same as 2B of other offerings, so now you wait. You might have priced at 0.14.

Power sells fast,it is in high demand and it is a mistake in my opinion to cut prices on products that are in high demand, it is worth waiting a little longer in my experience. 0,15 is not a bad price. :D
You could also sell it to Dominance Incorporated by contract he needs power and water.

When you do sell by contract, don't forget to check peoples cash and split the contracts in amounts that they can afford to sign right away.
I always send around 10 contracts of 100.000 power for instance.

Also take 10% off the current marketprice when you send contracts, that is what makes contracts more desirable for people, cheaper then buying from the market and for you it won't make a difference.
