hi all
just a quick question
as a rough guide, how much larger does a store need to be than the production facility to keep both running at capacity ?
i know that the stores don't suffer from diminishing returns like production, i'm just after a ballpark guide
thanks
store size vs production size

if you use simplest case, all wardrobes you produce are sold in a fixed time, then it still depends on the size of your factory and your level because of the decrease of productivity 
you can calculate it yourself, it will be much quicker than asking basic math on forums. use kapitools production output tool and kapitools sales rack tool if you feel you lack the necessary info.
i know, its very painful to activate your brain to do a bit of thinking, but it wont hurt you
if you need instructions on how to calculate this stuff, i will be more than happy to help you

A 20m^2 Joinery can supply a 20,000m^2 Furniture store to capacity.....but a 20,000m^2 Joinery cant fill a 20m^2 store
Confused yet? =^)
It has to do with how fast you want to run the store, my example is just plain ludicrous since you would be losing millions a minute doing that but it holds true that you can sell a full store in ten minutes or sell 100 in a few hundred hours.
So you can supply a decent amount of store size fairly easily but lose on the 'optimal price range' where your making the max money, this range will vary day to day and is vastly dependent on your Q. A few products like gas have well defined optimal profit ranges (48h for a full store regardless of Q) but your best to find your own price based on supply. To give an example my jewelers can make a billion a week in pure profit but that would take a whopping 12m gold a week, I can supply 4m and get a further 2m or so a week of others so I only make 6-700m a week on avg or risk running out of stock.
So now that ive muddied the waters good an proper ill pack up and skedaddle. Somebody who actually likes wardrobes might be able to clear things up but I would suggest that only you can find that your after once you get to producing and selling for a while.
@Greed...ouch! Did you just discipline him? Use the backhand not the front!!
