Cars?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 02.05.2008, 13:02

hi, Im a new player, and pretty noobish too

As I was experiencing diff things, I built a car factory. (dont worry, i'll restart my account soon)
I checked and found out that the production of a car costs 189480.3 with decent quality. Cars are sold on the market at an apx. avg. of 150,000.
can i please get an explanation how is that the market cost is lower then the-production cost?

and why are cars necessary anyways?! (or what do u do with it?)

1. this is possible because people produce every needed thing themselves and then they see that the production cost them 50k or something like that. they then think that they made huuuuuuuuuuge profits with that, only they forget that to produce cars you need LOTS of buildings and research which makes the 100k difference between their production and sale price much too small.

2. you sell them to kapiland people (via your car dealer), or, if that didnt answer your question, cars are necessary for people to get to places they want quickly and comfortably

When ill restart, what should I make, and where?

Is there any point of having a few factories of the same kind?

i would suggest that you start something simple for example power plant or oil well they are great for beginers and these resources make decent profit whether you sell them on the market or by contract

Not true.

The price in the Stats is capped as 150k, so even if the avearge sale price is higher, it wont display.
The construction price for a high Q car, is indeed at 150k or above.
And so is the sale price at 200 - 300k

Cars are one of the very advanced products, you shouldnt get into them when you are just a beginner.

Of course there is a point in having more factorys of the same kind... you cant even have 100 diffrent buildings

If you focus on few products, you can research them more intense, if you would have almost all products, there is no way you can afford to research them all.

hi. if you sold the products you use to make cars you could make about 150k without even needing to build car factories and dealers + all the research centers.

and if you bought high quality glass, ecomponents, engines and tires your cars would cost about 50k to make and would be at least 10 qualities higher.
