In order to make a profit in industry, it is necessary to calculate the manufacturing cost of a product.

Manufacturing costs are mainly labor costs and building maintenance costs, and in the case of processing industries, the cost per product is
Purchase cost for each material will be added.


For rice farms
Building maintenance cost 1200 (fixed) + (60 workers x basic salary 20) = 3000

The maintenance fees and wages shown are for 30 days. In terms of one day
3000 ÷ 30 = 100
It becomes. Workers are based on the area population, and salaries vary based on wage settings.

Divide this cost by the daily output (assumed to be 30) and you get
100 ÷ 30 = 3.3

It becomes. This is the manufacturing cost per product.
If this is exported at an export price of 15,
15 - 3.3 = 11.7

This means that you will earn a profit of 11.7 per product.




When producing goods in industry, there are the following uses:

・export
・Delivery as material for processed products
・Delivery as a product for sale at a commercial facility

If you select anything other than export, no sales will occur for that product.
However, since there is no need for import at the delivery destination, the purchase cost at the delivery destination will be reduced.
It will be gone.

Basically, the import price is set at 150% of the export price.
If political instability occurs in the import destination, the import price will increase to 225% of the export price.

In other words, it is better to deliver products and eliminate import costs at the destination than to export them.
The total profit will be large.


However, once the product is delivered, it will be stocked as inventory until it is consumed in the building.
Excess inventory can actually worsen profits.

Import and delivery quantities must be adjusted accordingly to avoid excess inventory.





There are five countries (regions) set as trade partners for export and import.
Each region has a different basic product price.


America
Prices of agricultural products are low, and prices of home appliances and intermediate materials are high.
China
Agricultural products are expensive
EU
The price of fish is low, and the price of mineral resources, home appliances, and intermediate materials is high.
Southeast Asia
The price of fish is high, and the price of mineral resources, home appliances, and intermediate materials is low.
middle east
Prices of agricultural products are high and prices of mineral resources are low.


These prices fluctuate randomly during the game, and the prices for each country are reversed.
in some cases.


When exporting/importing, taking this basic information into account will increase your profits.
It can be increased.




The logistics cycle in this game is uniformly unified to 7 days.
If you set up export, import, delivery, etc., every 7 days, all buildings will be
Logistics processing will be done at the same time.

In the case of industrial facilities, exports occur on the day of distribution, so sales occur only on that day.
The remaining six days will be in the red due to wages and maintenance costs.

In the case of commercial facilities, imports are carried out on the day of distribution, so a deficit occurs only on that day.
Items will be sold during the remaining 6 days.





A commercial facility is a facility that sells multiple products to area residents.

The products we sell are either imported or delivered from domestic production facilities.
The selling price is set at 170% to 270% of the export price, which is very high.
Although it sells for a high price, if it is imported, the purchasing cost will be 150% of the export price.
Trading profits range between 20%-120%.
(Additionally, labor costs and building maintenance costs are deducted)
Also, if political instability occurs in the importing country, the import price will increase by +50%, or up to 225%.
In this case, depending on the selling price, you may end up in the red.


In other words, domestic production is a prerequisite for commercial facilities, and as much as possible, the relevant products should be kept in commercial facilities.
The key to making a profit is to collect and lower import costs as much as possible.



Demand for commercial facilities increases depending on the population of the area where the building is constructed.
Population in another area does not count towards demand.





Wages are set based on the average overseas salary.

If the wage in a certain building is less than the foreign average salary, the effect of that building is on the foreign average salary.
decreases in proportion to

In other words, if there is a facility with daily production of 10, the wage is 16, and the average foreign salary is 20,

Wage effect = 16 / 20 = 0.8
Production quantity = 10 x 0.8 = 8

It becomes.

Conversely, if the wage exceeds the foreign average salary, the wage effect will increase, but the extent of the increase will be the same for both.
The ratio will be moderate.
Specifically, when wages are 3.5 times the average foreign salary, the wage effect reaches its maximum twice.

Setting wages too high will reduce cost efficiency, but for example, if the production of materials such as iron cannot keep up.
In some cases, it may be more efficient to raise wages when compared to import costs in the event of a production shortage.
there is.



Buildings affected by wages


Industry: Number of products produced per day
→It is multiplied by the industrial index. If the industry index is 2 and the wage effect is 2x, then 2x2 is 4x
→In the processing industry, as the number of production increases, more materials are required.

Commercial facilities: Daily demand for each product
→It will be multiplied by the area population.

Service facilities: Effect on industrial index
→Hospitals are not affected by wages.

Resource facilities: Effect on industrial index
→Water treatment facilities are not affected by wages.

Tourism facilities (transportation): Increase/decrease in the number of tourists
Tourist facility (accommodation): Facility income on the day
Tourist facilities (entertainment): Facility income on the day




Upgrades are functional enhancements to buildings, and although construction costs are high, upgrading
Once completed, you can increase the effectiveness of your building without increasing maintenance or labor costs.



Upgradable buildings

Housing (4th stage): Capacity limit increased
Service facilities (2 stages): Index increases
Resource facilities (4 stages): Index increases
Tourist facilities (4 stages): Maximum number of users increased


Industrial and commercial buildings cannot be upgraded.

The effectiveness of industrial facilities increases in proportion to the industrial index.
The effect of commercial facilities increases in proportion to the population of the area where the building is constructed.
