Build buildings to produce simple products that sell very well like power, water, stones, etc. I like how you thought ahead but I think you should have waited until you got a firm business to running with decent profits before starting a production line as complex as wardrobes.

A little secret here, which I believe more than 90% of players does not realise:

Profit of selling stone at $13:
> water $0.14
= sell steel at $188 (!!!) [assumption: coal = iron = $10, chemical = $19]
= sell Oil at $70
= sell Seeds at $1.85
= sell wood at $65 [assumption: power = 0.07, water = 0.11, seed = $1]

Now, realise how profitable stone is?
:lol:

one word for ya: specialization

seriously, producing and researching everything yourself isnt the way to go.

It is not very profitable to make everything yourself
Look which product in which line is more profitable and concentrate producing that. You say you make wardrobes but I see you make steel (unprofitable as hell with low quality! It is not very possible to produce q0 for lower than 135, so just buy it from npc), water, iron oal... you make anything but wardrobes...
Why you don't just research wardrobes, produce wardrobes and buy the rest on the market? Produce anything yourself does not mean you save money compared to the market.

Read that!

Und never forget: The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing ;)

ok, so should i forget about making wood, and just make the steel for the wardrobes and then buy the wood?

Nearly. Buy everything that is not "wardrobes" and produce "wardrobes". If one point in your productionline does anything else as "wardrobes" or "expanding to XY m", you may ask yourself if it may be more profitable to make that other product and not wardrobes.

And just my 2 beans: Steel is one of the most unprofitable things in kapilands because if you buy all products you need you still sell more for the production as the NPC wants for q0 steel. Maybe I was wrong as I counted everything together, than you may make 5 or 10 caps with every kg of steel. But is that worth all the energy, money and time you have to invest in steel production?
better make the woods and buy the steel from NPC
