How to improve quality?

Post by Guest » 21.11.2007, 20:52

Hello,
I have questions.
I`m producing steel. I have researched Coal to quality 2, iron to quality 2 and chemicals to quality 2 and steel to quality 3. Now in my mine i`m producing coal from power quality 0 and water quality 0, but my produced coal quality is 0. ???

Why in demand and supply list isn`t showed engines? aren`t there any demand? no one needs engines? Where can I se how big or small is demand for engines?

When I produce cabriolet, who will buy it? How can car be used after it`s purchase? I know raw materials can be used to create other materials, but what can be done with cars after i purchase them?

Sorry for noob questions, but please reply correctly and advise answers.

Great thanks!!!

Firstly, go into your factory. In the upper left hand corner is a box called "Quality Level." You probably have it on 0. That means even though you have research higher, you are telling your factory to act as if the research was 0.

I recommend raising that to 121 right now. It won't cost you anything, and will guarantee you always use the latest quality.


Second, supply and demand are only on items that the public buys in stores. Since the public doesn't go into a store and buy an engine, there is no "demand" for it that way. But you still might be able to sell it to other players. And of course, the things you make with engines have demand.


Third, a cabriolet has to be sold in a Car Dealer, a kind of selling building that cost 375,000 to build (plus materials.) You would pick how many Cabriolets to load into it, and set a price, and then it will tell you how long it takes. It's the same way you sold apples in your grocery if you did the tutorial. They don't sell too quickly, but this is how you get money for them. (If another player bought them from you, that's what they would have to do to get money.)

That should actually be 127...wouldn't want to use those last couple quality points after you've researched your engines for a few years.... :wink:

about quality, all is clear, and will try to rise quality to 121 after production is complete.

so then producing cars isn`t very good, because there are not easy way to sell them, as this is not very needed thing.

i have produced a couple of engines, but these are bought very rare, so i don`t think building something that contains many other products is good to build.

i wanted to create my industry to car building and started to produce steel, and tried to build couple engines. but now seems that engine building and car building is very useless and hard to sell items. am i correct???

and why exactly 121 or 127 for quality must be entered?

Cars is not something that someone who is new to the game should be attempting, because just as you have noticed, there are so many items that must be created along the way. I'm doing cars now, but only after I'd been playing for 8 months or so, and got bored just producing and selling gas. I had to branch out into other things or else stop playing.

You need to get the quality of the car up pretty significantly to be able to sell it for over 150,000, anything lower than that, and you are better off selling the input materials to others instead of producing cars.

Tigger gives good advice. One thing you will find in this game is that you cannot simply pick a product and run with it - they all have very different profitability.

127 is, for whatever reason, the highest research possible in game. If you put in 999 as a limit, it wouldn't be accepted. So we say 127 (or 121, if you're me and don't feel like reaching over for the 7 :)) and that way it will always be ok.

If you don't feel like reaching over for the 7, why not 122???

It's much faster to hit two keys with two fingers alternately than to hit one key with one finger repeatedly. And I hope any piano players out there would agree with me that it's also not as smooth.

And yes, I'm wasting a great deal of keystrokes right now. But you know, when the buildings are idle I'm always racing to start them. Go Go Go!
