Big Business - game discussion

Meanwhile I decided to try their new game, Transport Empire. I try all GI games and they all are pretty much awful. This one is really bad. First, you cannot even start without buying in-game currency. You spend what little you are given when the game tutorial forces you to "speed up" everything and invest in stuff while you are still unable to make money. I said, ok, I will bite. Spent 2 bucks on 50k. Not a big deal if the game is fun. But it is not fun, far from it. Graphics are subpar, female "quest-givers" are dressed up like *****s (not exaggerating), writing is face-palm worthy (as usual), ambient sounds are annoying (as usual), but all these things could have been overlooked if the game was not so damn tedious and boring. There is not much to do. Send a few "trains" to get iron, stone, lumber or coal and deliver "goods" from a farm. Rinse and repeat. You can buy only a limited number of trains and they need repair all the time. You are always tempted to speed up (wink wink). You can get a ship and later on a zeppelin but the formula is the same o same o. Making money and gaining "reputation" (by mining ore or making stuff lol) to be able to upgrade and buy another train is a slow, uninspiring process of grinding. They sprinkle the slow action with very frustrating "road adventures" like a train stops for some obscure reason and you can choose to "help" with money or some goods for a chance to get more money or other stuff. Don't download this game, folks, and don't waste money on it. I did it for you already. Ain't worth it. View attachment 55414 The "sis" is your main character.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering what it was like. I won't waste my time on it
 
I think I stumbled on something, if a Master could verify? Sorry if this is already posted, but just too many to read through.

The Pop requirements don’t go up until a factory has finished building. So, I can clear three tracks of land, save enough coins to pay for all three plats at the same time. Then Build plant1 and then build plant 2 and 3 before plant 1 finishes and I wont have to worry about the pop requirements increasing? As each plant finishes building, then the pop requirements goes up for the next factory.

At least I can use the three new plants and take my time on increasing the population before my next build.

Interesting. Never thought to try that before. Let us know if it works!

Tried it. No good. As soon as I put the factory down, the requirement for the next factory went up.

Hi folks! First post, but have been playing BB for 6 months and have diligently read this enormous fund of knowledge board. As with all things BB, it took quite some time to complete. Thanks to all for the myriad number of hints and suggestions! They were tremendous help!

Wanted to extend an invitation for those who might be interested. My Corp is looking for 3 new daily players with at least 5 farms/ranches. We are currently #41. We're a good bunch who discuss things as well. Come check us out and let me know if you might be interested in joining our ambitious group.

Recycling most of the message from before!;)

My corporation the Blue Duck is looking also for a new corporation member. We were 10 but I had to let 1 player go due to inactivity. And now we are 9 again (unless more decide to flee)

I am looking for someone who has experience with the game and is a daily active player and has (fully upgraded) 5 farms/5 ranches minimum as we mainly focusing on farm/ranch targets. For any other target we do our best. Winning targets is great but making an effort is greatly appreciated too. The person also needs to be chatty and willing to exchange ideas.

If this sounds interesting and willing to join us let me know!:D

Hi, I am also looking for a new member, regular player wanted, as one member has left due to inactivity, although I think a couple more may go too. At the moment we are only winning farm competitions, but as we expand we want to compete in other competitions. Anyone interested, then please do join.

Thanks

Welcome Andrew. Friend me. I am leader of a corp already but always in need of a friend!
 
Hey folks I need 48 more decorations to place to get my decoration achievement. Been destroying them also as to get the other achievements abt destroying. So a billboard or fountain is cool. I can place up to 6 of each and demolish them quickly. Thanks in advance.

Sent you a bunch of billboards...let me know if you need more :-)
 
Ok I understand that drop rate is ridiculous on this game and I have accepted this however I'm working on the hydro damn power plant thing and for the last month I have been stuck at 10/20 lost workers. I did delete my smaller houses as I needed space and was maxed on my buildings wondering if this is why I stopped getting workers or if my workers are just very very lost lol. Getting frustrated and want to move on finally in this I only need 1 more suitcase so workers showing up would be nice. I have checked and haven't got the people turned off so any info would be appreciated if I need to rebuild the lower houses and level them out I will but hoping that isn't the issue....
