For supply quality I set the default or new corporation settings at 140. Once the corporation becomes fully upgraded I set supply order quality at 215. Seems to the best of my knowledge the best quality. Any higher and the price will overtake quality profit. Any lower and you won't be have the best sale quality. I used to use 210 quality. I don't know if you should change supply quality based on corporation type.( state, enterprise, public ) State corporations max quality & effectivity upgrades at 200. Enterprise at 225, and public( where no country/enterprise owns more then 25% of its shares)at 250. My fully upgraded state corps produce around 266q, enterprise 303q and fully public corps around 330q which I believe is the maximum corporation quality output in the game. So any higher wouldn't help profits. As for low-water mark/order quantity I set 12 month low water 24 month order. However that's just a way for me to keep from supply shortages. You don't have to follow it. I set my selling strategy at best price. Before I would set my sale strategy at 200 above quality. Example your product is at 287q. I set my sale strategy at 487 keeping "Follow Quality" box checked. However... it seems simply putting it as best price will have the same effect on your sale price as manually setting it 200 points over q. This is because the corp automatically sets it at the highest acceptable market price for its quality. It also sells your product at a lower price if it's in surplus or in the green to keep it from piling up unsold products. For buying I set mine at 4, 6.. or 96% market price +6 each month the supplies aren't delivered. For salary it depends really. Most players set their salary between 300-400. If you run an enterprise I'd set it at 310 or 320 salary just to keep your corps fully staffed. I set my state corporate salary at 400. It doesn't effect corporate profitibility too much and can increase welfare, income tax, population spending, IF funds, and education/healthcare contributions. Also it benefits corporate productivity if you have good welfare, which increases profits. I set my govt salary between 300-350. I'll lower salary down to 300 when in my IPO stage, or when I sell shares. As my corporations increase value giving me more cash for my share sales. Once I'm finished selling shares I set it back up to 400. Well this is the basics of what I know. I hope this helps you and anyone else who looks at this post. I've been playing a few months so I have no idea what the game was like before. |
