I am stupid

Post by Guest » 13.11.2007, 01:50

I built a textile factory in a yellow zone- was that stupid? SHould I sell it and rebuild in green zone? Or red zone? I read on these forums that you should build all factories except steel in red zone- or is it the other way around?


With kapitools it looks like my yellow zone factory was a complete waste. It cost more, has no production bonus- produces same as in green zone! What a blunder. I expanded it too to 30 m2! Man do I suck...

Ok no more factories outside of green zone !

Alright but where should I build my RCs ?? Does it REALLY pay off to place them in red zone? I guess so since the research costs do not increase but you do get speed bonus, right? just scientists cost more?

Yeah I would always put research in a red zone. Speed is just too important.

Yellow is only for mines and wells. (And maybe sales in some rare instances, but only if there is a severe average quality difference between there and red.)

You should generally think red for most factories and green the special exception. This will tend to be true anyplace the production cost is high relative to the materials and selling price. So TV stations definitely in green (not a great idea anyway). Electronics factories in green. At a normal factory Steel and maybe Silicon, but not anything else.

Textile definitely in red. If you're talking Realm1 I actually have some I can sell you, though I can't help if you're in Realm2.

No factories in yellow though. It costs more and doesn't produce more. It will always underperform for you, so better to sell it now and reinvest that money in something more useful.

Selling wont give you bacvk your money...What you should do is go to "Profile"...reset your account and start over again if you are extremely new to the game.

If you have been here for some time and have some buildings built...I dunno...

OK I actually want to be a Textiles producer. Right now, leather and leather gloves. (Realm2).

Is it wise to do a what's-it-called organization where you produce everything from top down? So I have factories producing the leather gloves, leather, cattle, corn and finally water ? Or just concentrate on textiles- leather and leather gloves- alone. And pray I can find a reliable source for quality cattle?

i can be that source of quality cattle

edit: oops you mean realm 2 :cry:

Darn, you look like an awesome source of cattle! If only there were one of you in Realm 2!

How much should I pay for each level of quality ? 5% higher? 10%? What is fair to both me and the supplier?

well if the market stays the same as realm 1, which it is, for now

try paying 100+5*Q

if you think that is two high work out a deal with your supplier like

Q0 = 100
Q1 = 103
Q2 = 109
Q3 = 115
Q4 = 117

(it depends on what you want to pay and what your seller will accept)

but i sell my Q10 cattle for 155

I was selling for 100+5*Q, but when i hit the double digits i upped the price buy another 5 so instead of getting 150 i get 155, but for Q11 I will get 160, and when i reach either Q15 or Q20 i will change the price thing altogether

Vertical integration.

I'll let someone else answer the other questions, especially since I'm not up-to-date on Realm2 prices.

It is all in all called specialization which is actually better than producing the entire production line yourself unless your suppliers or buyers screw you up. :lol:

Yes, I was a stupid noob once :lol: (probably still am). They do say it takes one to know one. Sry if you think this is spam but I couldn't leave your thread subject alone. :oops:

In R1 you could/can buy cattle for less or there abouts than the cost of production (taking research costs in etc.). Buy your cattle so you don't have to worry about researching corn and cattle. If you really and truly have to make your own cattle, try buying your corn and get the highest Q available.

High quality is, after all, what you need in the textile racket. Expanding and funding the research might just hold you back too much.

It's up to you in the long run.

FYI: Most of the world leather supply is from India. I wish we would stop using leather in the real world because not many people know what goes on in the real leather game... Very sad. I will never own a fur coat either.

So...because everyone is talking about cattle prices...

Have you finally decided that building the building in yellow area was a good idea? Or have you found a solution??

If you did find a solution...what did you do?? I would like to know...because I made these mistakes before

No building it in yellow area was dumb, dumb, dumb. But now I know better.

I have not yet decided though whether to sell it right away or wait until I reach building cap. I am leaning towards just keeping it running until I hit the cap.

If I ever build a Steel Mill or a TV Station though I'll be sure to use Green area- everything else in red!

Trust me...Reset your account...its a TOTAL waste of money...

It wasn't THAT bad of a hit though, I can absorb the loss. I have over $400,000 now so I can build another factory in red zone no problem.
