In-Game

How to start, what to do?

The goal of the game is to create the largest, most profitable empire. How you go about this is up to you.
If you don't really know how to do that, we'll give you some tips:

• In order to have the smallest possible expenses, it is worthwhile to set up your first plant in a low-cost area (e.g. Africa). But even this will cause some costs (maintenance) over time, which your company will have to pay for. So evaluate for yourself which business tactic you want to follow. See also the comparison in the Regions.
  
• Basically, we recommend that you cover the basic raw materials as a first step. You can use these for further productions yourself or you can also supply other players with them. That means, it is best to start with a Well, a Coal power plant or a Nuclear power plant. The well produces Water, among other things, which is needed for many processes. The power plants generate Power, which is needed for almost every process.
  

To be able to produce these products, you also need raw materials. That means, you can't avoid buying raw materials on the market (Warehouse and Market) at the beginning. For Water you need Power, for Coal-fired power you need Coal and to produce Nuclear power you need a Fuel rod. So you can also build a Mine where you can mine Coal among other things.

• Make sure you always have a supply of basic raw materials such as Water and Power available in the warehouse so that you are always ready to start a new production.
  

Of course, these are just our own personal recommendations. Feel free to run your business your own way. We are excited to see how you go your way and wish you a lot of fun!

Then click on the green sell button. The amount will be credited to your account only after another player has bought your product.
  
• You can sell your goods to institutions, cities, etc.; to do this, go to the market and with the slider to "Listings". There you will see a list of required products, which you can now sell by clicking on them. You can only determine the quantity by direct input or slider, the price is fixed in each case. You will receive the amount immediately after you have sold the product.
  

How can I cancel my offer?

To annul an offer placed on the world market, you must first go to the market. There you will find the "Own" button, which you click. You will then see a list of your offers that are placed on the world market. Now you can click on the desired offer and use the button "Annul" to remove the offer from the market. The material will now be booked back into your warehouse.

What is the best price for my products?

It is up to you at what price you sell your Products. To determine the best possible price for a product, the following points are important:

• Pay attention to the production costs: Never sell your products below your production costs, otherwise you will make losses! You can see the production costs when you want to offer a product for sale, but also at a glance by accessing your warehouse and looking at your products there.
  
• Keep an eye on the market: supply and demand determine the price! If you see that many players are interested in your product, you can set the price a little higher. But be careful that they are not too high, otherwise you will be stuck with your goods. If, on the other hand, you see that the market for this product is already saturated, you can try to undercut the other offers. But always remember not to sell below your production costs.
  

At the end of the day, you probably can't avoid playing with the prices a bit; "How much room up/down is possible", "What is when specifically wanted/needed (Quests)", "What is most worthwhile for me",.... All these questions will be answered with time, you just need some patience and one or the other right intuition! :)
