Heh. I could up my percentage but meh. The amount I've lost is inconsequential. So yeah. I just leave it running. Should have my third set of the top tier tonight, or tomorrow morning.

I'm working on my third heisenbelt and meth horizons. :D even at the rate im raking it in ($11,740,178,750/s), it still takes a while to make 800 trillion.

So which tropical island nation are you going to purchase?

Already did that. Got four of them. The stuff I'm working on now is more top tier stuff:

Meth Horizon: $369,292,509,000,000 ? According to commander Tony Drake, these high speed shuttles quickly transport product from the far edges of the solar system

Heisenbelt: $369,292,509,000,000 ? A series of labs on the outer edges of the solar system that convert asteroids into pure crystal

Also I have 965 trillion now. so I can buy those two things ;D now I have three of each :D making 15 billion a second.

^ apparently warfare AND THE DRUG TRADE motivate advances in the technology/energy industries, in the same way as porn motivates advances in audio-visual ;)

It's interesting how quickly this game spirals out of control.  You start with a shed and a single dealer, making ten cents per second, and a couple hours later it's a million plus per second.

I did enjoy it but over all find it too passive and doesn't require enough planning strategy..

Might just hit reset and try again after the next balance change or so.

Tom

Yeah, it can use some ballancing. As long as you ignore the really risky stuff, and focus on getting a few lawyers, you're good to go.

I think Lawyers move sell too well... at the mid point I was upping my sales with lots of them and negative risk because production was risky.

Thorin

The trick now is to learn what the end is and try and figure out the fastest way to it.  I kept buying and selling things to balance production, sales speed, and DEA Raid risk, until I realized they sold for half price and I was losing millions of dollars on some of the sales.  So I reset.  And then found myself doing it again.

Yeah, I rarely sold anything. I just kept things mostly balanced, though at one point I let the production beat out distribution significantly so I had some buffer when buying the next big distro, so I could by the next prod thing sooner.

There's an end insomuch as you can get ALL THE THINGS. After that, there's really nothing to do, unless you feel like getting a bunch of ALL THE THINGS. still though thats even more pointless than the game is to start with ;D

Skinner box much? :D

Then that just poses the scarier question: WHO is studying your behavior? (and to what end? TO WHAT END?)
