WARNING: Company worker limit re-added

Day 1,536, 01:10 • Published in USA USA

• by The Libertine

When you use worker "works" in your companies, slots will now turn green. These slots can then no longer be used until the next day-change.

Implications:
- Overall tank production will fall, compared to the production of recent days
- Commune managers will have a massive headache.
- Military groups will have to purchase more tanks off the market.
- Tank prices ~should~ rise back up
- Military units will be creating more RMs than recently, but WRM prices should rise regardless, because they tend to mirror the prices of tanks.

Theoretically, anyone that has been making a ton of tanks recently should be able to make a good profit in about a week if tanks raise back up in prices (I have 1500 saved up because it has been tough to sell them lately).

I have no idea how this change may effect wages, specifically in the eUS. I suspect that as long as WRM prices mirror tank prices then there should be little effect on average wages, with maybe a plus or minus of $10 to $15 to the current job market offer, but nothing more drastic than that.

Thoughts?

Good job. This is good for an old job offer person like me. Here comes the food!

Voted!

It's a positive change considering overproduction.

The biggest problem in erep. economy is that ppl produce a lot more than they spend...

Christopher Edwards II Day 1,536, 02:35

@Norbengo: The end result is inflation. When people can produce something from nothing, the end result is no different than the Federal Reserve running their printing presses 24/7 or the effect of Fractional Reserve Banking where institutions can loan out ten times the amount of currency than they have on hand. The increased amount of currency results in prices being bid up, malinvestment and a bubble just waiting to burst.

So true.

Plato = "The State"
A REAL Capitalist wouldn't tolerate such interference in a free market.

They just want us to upgrade our companies or buy higher quality ones.

@Christopher Edwards II The result of overproduction is exact the opposite of FED printing press 😉

production>money -> lower price
production higher price

Thanks for this.

Finally killing off Hire/Fire should keep wages down a bit after perhaps an initial spike while everyone gets a job.

~fuuu~

Evil but correct.

Jelly9473 Day 1,536, 07:21

Should be a good change, I hope

PigInZen Day 1,536, 08:26

Stfn is correct. We've been in a DEflationary spiral since WAM was introduced and the limit on the number of employees was lifted despite the best inflationary efforts of the admins to introduce currency via the puchasing bot. All that did was inflate the price of gold.

Kemal Ergenekon Day 1,536, 09:58

Rich people with little time! Rejoice!

Those who are ripped by this change are RM producers and young entrepreneurs (1 Q5/Q6 company and day long hire-fire people)

Jack Lantos Day 1,536, 18:05

Thanks for posting this. It's a shame admin can't manage to tell us these things

it's good news for owners of companies lower than q6.

Robert Renolds Day 1,536, 23:58

I believe that WRM will actually decrease, as a good number of "Moguls" were producing their own (or sourcing from a very cheap supplier), and now that demand has been cut by unknown amounts (thanks, eRep for not ever fixing the damn API correctly) I predict that we will see supply of raw mats up, but prices way down.

Thedillpickl Day 1,537, 01:20

YaY! Hire/fire is dead! Long live WAM!

Wages are all ready going down to pre-hire/fire rates. Prices should continue to rise, especially on high q products as the glut is over. RM prices will probably remain low until a lot of n00bs give up and sell out.

The econ is going to look more like it did a year ago. This is quite possibly the most miraculous fix the admins could have possibly made to the econ. I am both amazed and excited. There may yet be life in the old game after all.

As far as communes suffering, BAH! Don't give me that crapola. They just have had it easy. Now if they want easy they need to buy some damned companies and quit whining. There used to be a 10 worker limit (on everything except houses) for maximum production. Then there was this 5 worker limit and production was fixed. (No bonuses for worker health, number of workers or worker econ skills.) Now there are some variables again! So shut yer pie holes and lean to play the damned game. Sheesh!
