Hi all how are things?

Been sending trowels out that ok?

Ha ha - the BB bug is indeed contagious!

My second chemical plant is spitting out foam now, the first is on dye, and then on to acid and thickener. Need to catch up, as I emptied my warehouse to afford upgrades. I got a thickener in there though, so I can handle a ship which requires thickener. Want to upgrade the chem plant to level 2, so it can do dye - then my cosmetics can work round the clock, while I make acid for the radio components and thickeners. Then I can handle my ships requirements. I will then request friends help, giving them a chance to do some things - will save me time and make a higher turnaround on ships - giving me more credits. Actually got like 7 silver anchors and 22 bronze ones - but not a single gold anchor!

Soon, I will have made 500 of the required 1.000 energy for the bridge. I can pay the 10 engineers, I got the solvents, the welders and the hammers, so straight to the 8 business cards and 3 compasses.

I will need radio components in about 4 hours if you can help. I decided to go after the upgrades on dairy, weaving, furniture and sawmills. Won't use a hammer on those. Want to get all my factories to max capacity by the end of the week. Then onto the hydro and purchasing the radio and electronics factories. This is my new plan. Basically slow rolling, I have been spending way to much time on this game recently. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks for the radio components. Glad to see cottage cheese for the daily contest. I will start hoarding silver medals. First round of factory upgrades almost complete. Will have the following:
3 farms (all max)
2 mills (all max)
3 confectionary (all max)
8 dairy (3 @ level 5, 3 @ 4, 2 @ 3)
8 ranch (3@ level 5, 5 @ 4)
5 paper mills (all max)
3 sawmills (5, 4 & 3)
2 weaving (5 & 3)
2 furniture (2 @ 4)
1 toy (4)
1 food processing (1 below max)
1 mine (4)
2 oil refineries (5 & 3)
2 chemical (4 & 3)
1 cosmetic (2)

Will have most of the plants to max level except cosmetic factory by next week.
Plan is still hydro, radio and electronics to follow the complete upgrades. With two or more factories, I will not use the hammer, I want to save them up for the cosmetic, radio and electronics plants. Will also start upgrading the university for radio tech and perfumer. Will need those for the upgrades also. Good luck.

is it worth the large number or ranches and not alot of farms?

I place every time a dairy or ranch related item for the daily contest. I can always add a temporary farm if needed. Occasionally I need to destroy a higher cost factory for instance I used to have 9 paper mils, now I have 5 and I use to have 3 each of the mills and now I have 2. You can quickly build the farm, mill and confectionary plants when you need too. This is just my plan, not saying its ideal, but it works for me.

Two questions on building storage: 1) Is there unlimited storage available? 2) Does it get really expensive if you keep adding slots?

This might be useful information to add to the wiki (and also maybe a table of total experience required for each player level).

 

[fil_b]

i think it does

its 40k to go up to 17 slots from 14.

not sure the costs after

I have 29 storage slots, it is currently $20 per slot. Not sure about #31, it is off screen. My guess $22 for ##31-34. I suppose storage is virtually unlimited. Why would GI want to kill their cash cow? Besides, how many slots would you ever need, especially when it ain't cheep? Four slots for $20 is friggin 80.
