Company Guide v 0.7b - update for Q7

Day 1,719, 03:12 • Published in USA Greece • by Jack Lantos

The Company Guide is a spreadsheet tool you can download and has been updated to include Q7 companies! You can enter the current prices for your own situation and it will calculate which types of companies are profitable.

Company Performance Test
The main function of this tool is to calculate the relative performance of each company type, in your own particular economic conditions.

Example: eUSA day 1719


As you can see all weapons companies have very little value at the moment. If you were to buy a Q7 weapons company from scratch (with 44% discount) it might take you 17 years to recover the entire up front cost of the company at this current rate! In this case you can see it may be better to sell WRM instead for a while.

The Investment Score is mostly based on the amount of time taken to repay the cost of the company, and this has now been improved to also factor in the production efficiency, e.g. Q4 WRM now score higher than Q2 WRM because many more units are made per "work", even though Q2 can be repaid faster than Q4.

You can input all current local data, so hopefully anybody can use this to more easily watch market conditions and adjust their strategy as necessary.

The worker usage panel lets you see which companies are worth hiring workers for, and a minor update has been applied here to fix the options for Q3 companies (thanks deleter210 for notifying).
