Upgrading raw materials companies

43 Day 450, 19:31 USA
First I wanna say to my subscribers that they are reading 1. newspapers of eWorld with 1282 subscribers.

Thank you all for reading, voting and subscribing.

I hope that one day (or night) this newspaper will be 1. newspapers in all eWorld to reach 2000 subscribers.

Today I bring you one analysis. Is it worth to upgrade raw materials companies?


Productivity formula for raw materials

W = 1/4 * A * B * C * D * E * F

Where,

W = Total Productivity Points
A = Skill Multiplier
B = Employee Multiplier
C = Wellness Multiplier
D = Regional Bonus Multiplier
E = Trivia Multiplier
F = Company Quality Multiplier

For my statistic I use this parameters:

A= skill= 4.5
B= employee multiplier = 2 (10 employers)
C= wellness multiplier = 2.2 (wellness = 60)
2
E= trivia multiplier = 1.5 (when admins replace trivia, bonus will be 50%)
F= company quality mult.= *this is a parameter we are looking at so it will be a variable

For Raw material company F = (11-Q)/10

Average salary for skill 4 worker in USA = 14 USD = 140 USD for 10 employers in Q1 company

1 Gold = 67 USD

For bigger quality of company I use salary + 1 USD - becose of quality of company workers loose 1 wellness more and they have a little bigger salaries





Attention!! I used prices of wood on United States of America's market.

*there aren't any Q5 wood on market and I predicted a price of Q5 wood.

We know that 5 Q1 wood = 1 Q5 wood

Becouse of that, price of Q5 wood can't be higher that 5 Q1 wood, becouse nobody will buy that expensive Q5 wood.

And becouse of that, price of Q1 wood can't be higher than 1/5 of Q5 wood, becouse nobody will buy that expensive Q1 wood.

In table you can see that with higher quality of company, profit is higher than Q1 company, what is normal.


But with high cost of Q5 (200 Gold) you'll return your invest for 174 days!!!


Upgrade Q1 ----> Q2 ===== 80% more raw material

Upgrade Q2 ----> Q3 ===== 33% more raw material

Upgrade Q3 ----> Q4 ===== 16% more raw material

Upgrade Q4 ----> Q5 ===== 7% more raw material



Conclusion: With every upgrade you'll produce more and you'll have more profit.

But only upgrade on Q2 is the best.

It's better to have 10 Q2 companies (400 gold) than two Q5 companies (780 gold) of raw materials.

Good lucking finding workers for your 10 Q2 companies.

and where is the problem if it's copied from wiki? There is a lot of new players or old who can be informed in forma like this! Just go on my friend - at the moment you are the best journalist at the eR world. Best regards. (This guy is obviously gelous on you - it's just one of the human characteristics). But listen WahooBob we are form Balcans - if you will come in our house we will give you the best what we have. If we have two bottles of wine you will get the better one. So wright your article and show us how you will do it... see ya

wow, I don't understand why you guys are dissing this, it's not hurting you; the only thing I can think is that you're jealous of the newspaper's success.

If you're not interested in efficiency or the economic side of the game, you're right, this information does not pertain to you, but if you are interested, his information is always well organized and the format of the newspaper makes it easy to navigate.

As for the quality of the English, it may not be as refined as a native speaker, but it's good enough to be understood and kudos to dSoKre for trying, I'd like to see you try to speak his language.

Seriously... this is some good stuff. I mean, I could use the information from the wiki and figure this stuff out, but I don't. That's what's so great about it... he took the time to figure it out.

Actually, just like in real life, the optimum amount of capital investment will vary based on wages.

First of all you should use the lowest price per unit to compare Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5. Now you are using a price of 1 USD for Q1 and 2.3 USD for Q3 for example, that kind of messes up the calculations.

To claim that Q2 is the "best Q" is of course false, it all depends on market prices, salaries and how long you are able wait before your initial investment is paid for. As the skills within raw materials get higher on average there will also be a lot easier to find skilled workers with high Q houses that can produce Q4/Q5 without major drop in wellness.

Anyway, voted for your efforts to "teach" people game mechanics but you should run through your numbers once more and consider a different conclusion.

@ Kape - I took the prices od wood from market

I think Q2 is the best becouse you'll have 80% more wood for only 20 gold

Alex Craciun Day 451, 01:05

First of all you're making a mistake.
One Q2 company produces 0.6 from the production of a Q5 company, so the proportion would be 10 Q2 companies produce the same as 6 Q5.
So... 400 gold compared to 1900 gold.

The problem is elsewhere... workforce, hiring only 60 guys instead of 100 lowers your production costs, the competition amongst the workers is bigger, the salaries get lower.

dSoKre Day 451, 01:13

@ Alex Craciun - that is only metaphor

10 Q2 = 400 gold = 1336 Q2 wood every day = 2672 Q1 Wood

2 Q5 = 780 gold = 178,2 Q5 wood every day = 891 Q1 Wood

What is better?????

I agree with the article.

Also for your employees counter idea. Think what it would take for an employee to stay in a Q5 raw company ... just insane

You forget the fact that you also have to pay extra wages in lower q companies cause you need to employ more people to make the same amount.

I have to agree with Kape here. You can't draw conclusions like this when your wood prices are off. If a Q1 company can have stock sold at a 1 USD price, then a Q5 company is stupid to sell at a 3.7USD price.
In your example, the Q4 company dictates the price level. If there were only Q4 companies on the market, there's no way you could compete with a Q2 company. The price at which resources are sold would not be profitable to a Q2, but a Q4 would do profit.

The Q4 company still turns in the best profit, and that's more important in the long run than simply measuring RoI. Also, note that Q3 makes ~50 USD more profit a day, so the upgrade cost is a non-issue. However, I agree with you that a Q5 resources company brings in a lot less profit than it should be, taking the upgrade cost into consideration.

great and informative article as always=)

anyway, for me its Q3 thats the most profitable. i see it from the ROI and the customers. if you're a company owner and a businessman, you should think more of how long its for the ROI will take and compare it with how much money you need or want to invest. the faster ROI takes place with the bigger money you need or want to invest, the better. and you should also think of how much your customers will there be. and as far as i know, Q3 company got the best range of customers concidering its products prices.

and for those so called "english grammar nazies", can you speak and write well on other countries languages? if you cant, then dont protest on other people grammar mistakes. otherwise, you're no more than a racist=P

Among the other issues brought up, this doesn't bring up the fact that since Q1 resources are higher on the page, they get purchased more often. I've seen Q1 wood sell faster than Q2 when the Q1 actually cost more. Not tot mention for Q3, which often ends up on the second page.

1337 has a point,
By your figuring, any combination is more profitable than another. When it comes down to it, you are ignoring the wage factor. Most countries have a limited work force in RM and because of this the wages rise as the companies grow and the workers do not.

So, a bunch of Q2s may seem nice for "bang for the buck," but the actual realization of supply and demand kill it. Is there enough demand for 1,200 pieces of Q2 wood a day (throwing a random number, my Q2 makes 120 products)? Even in the eUS where wood is a majorly consumed resource, I would guess demand around 800. So you have just gone a day only selling 3/4 of your product and that number will increase.

Why not upgrade and have two Q3's? Even with two Q4's, you still beat out the profit margins to production costs (figuring start-up as well) compared to a single Q5. Less product, more room for profit, less employees, less strain on the work market.
