Arkcorp Industries has a mission: to provide a profitable, high-quality service of production for it's customers. However, a diversified range of products isn't quite possible for a startup as it was years ago. In this regard, Arkcorp is going to focus mainly on weapon production and sale.
While researching into the weapons market, I found that the economy module isn't quite as robust as it used to be. In my previous articles I addressed a few reasons as to why this is, but honestly it comes down to numbers. Many, if not all, of the lower-quality weapons cannot be produced and sold at a profit. Even if the manufacturer owns their means of raw-resources, the energy and work tax required to produce the weapons is too high to justify their production.
Understandably, then, we'll need to move to higher-quality weapons production to start paying back into the capital that's been invested. Unfortunately, I didn't have the necessary gold to take advantage of the company upgrade sale as of late. Once another one rolls around, Arkcorp will see a good deal of expansion.
This brings me to my final announcement. Arkcorp's mission does not just extend to it's customers, but to it's employees as well. My goal is that when someone is looking for a job on the market, they seek out Arkcorp for high wages and good benefits. This isn't an impossible goal. While it will take time, Arkcorp will strive to be a competitive employment opportunity for the hard working people of eAmerica.
Stay Strong eAmerica!

Arkcorp Industries: The Road Ahead

my recommendation is to not getting into weapon business - will never recover the gold cost
also not profitable to hire employees
Only housing at moment is profitable for hiring employees
If really want to get into weapons then wait for black Friday sale where upgrades are 50% off - at least that way you can downgrade at a future date & get 100% of your gold back
i would suggest not getting into the housing market. there is a big monopoly owned by someone i know and i know he would not be very happy if he has to deal with competitors!
i think you should become a bank 🙂 put for sale 2000 currency at .05 gold each, then buy currency at 235 per gold. profit 30 currency!
this is how the numbers work. that is a 15% return every time you complete the transaction!
so do not listen to what4 i have a friend(maybe someone closer to me than a friend) who would lose lots of money if house prices started dropping 🙂
I know you're in the housing business, I just don't see it as feasible starting point. Too much overhead, not enough stable profit unless you have a lot of capital.
The problem with banking is that you can only receive 10 gold a day, if I'm correct? Wouldn't that seriously curb any daily profit? Plus that the MM isn't instant-you have to have someone accept your deal which means I might end up with a ton of either gold or cc, whichever is dropping
the idea for houses, as long as your not going to get into the market i can tell you, q1 houses require 4.5 work hours, but with over time produces 7 work hours. so some one profits the 2.5 days salary. and so q1 houses will always be in demand. but yeah your right prices have dropped for them.
HRM is the most expensive raw material! and so i will say, if getting into houses you need to make the raws yourself with the 35 gold raw. but in order to make a profit in the weps or food, well looking at my numbers. if you buy the raws only q7 weps would be profitable to wam and that is only 30 currency for the q7 factory or 30 currency per 1400 gold investment.
looking at raws the granite quarry produces 12.25 currency per 35 gold, and the rubber plantation produces 7.26 per 35 gold.
the saltpeter mine is about 35 gold also but is only 7 currency profit.
the alumin mine is 10 gold for 2.26 currency profit 7.91
but i guess these do not inclue food costs. at about 0.20 per 10 energy.
oh even with food costs i see it now.
alumin mine produces the same profit as the rubber plantation. and that is why yur planning on building the alumin mine. low capital and same profit per investment.
but i still say you now see why i like houses 🙂 though do not get me wrong i produce a ton of q6 food and a ton of q7 weps also 🙂 i just prefer you to stay out of the housing markets 🙂
Weapons and food so you can fight!
Hopefully I'll get into food once my weapons business is bringing in a little money.
