Market is going down

whats going on here, the value is going down now why are we in surplus supply?

This is because automatic procedure which builds/closes the corporations in C3 countries is building them faster than closing. This is causing oversupply and lower average prices of products.

Example:

When market has shortage C3 are building corporations all the time.
When market has surplus C3 are only closing corporations when market price drops to almost a minimum. This causes surplus to stay for a longer time.

This difference is causing the surplus you are witnessing and also this means that price of goods will likely be lower than higher.

Maybe this is intended? If not then to fix this Andy needs to tune the procedure which is closing the corporations to slowly start closing them a bit earlier than when market price reaches the bottom.

That explains, thank you.

Andy I had to close to my best corporation down due to surplus resources, the value kept on dropping down, is there anything you can do to prevent this from happening or is it because of world wide market shut downs due to virus??

Nevermind, i think i know what caused the problem, the price of a share is going down in which causes the value to go down too so I have to adjust this problem.

The procedure that automatically builds or closes corporations is working in the same way for years.
The last change requires more availability of workers to be able to build a new corporation. Just a bit more than before.

this made the building a little more difficult.
the problem has nothing to do with it.

we think that the smaller number of natural resources corporations reduced the use of many other materials used by these corporations and the available workers were used to build other types of corporations.

There is a shift in types of corporations but there is also an increase in the average level of unemployment which is now correcting the market.

we see an increase in the total assets game wide.

You can see it in the scrolling header after you login.
the last numbers shows the total value game wide.

Currently there are some products, non natural resources, in all worlds that show ver

Andy

you are right regarding the dynamic, employees who worked at mining industry are now working in some other corporations which uses less workers per corporation. This causes more corporations to be built, and this is why I offered to increase food market as food markets are hiring lots of low level employees.

Manually adding production is also very bad. it steals building potential from players to build corporations.

If mining markets will always stay max red with max market prices, why to punish some corporations more than others? Resource use should be reviewed in the corporations mainly depending on mining supplies.

Small markets are really doing terribly bad, maybe C3 should be down prioritizing building in very small markets? Players will gladly take them

Workers numbers have been increased a lot, but the default salaries in C3 countries remained 297. this causes for CEO to pay much more than before in s

The whole economic situation in the game across all the worlds is horrendous right now! I have noticed when a player leaves a country that country's employment collapses and bottoms out at 30 - 40%.
Of late in past few days I see most items in surlplus so hard to make a profit on anything.
Wonder if the natural resources feature should be rethought or retooled.
It's making me wonder if all the worlds of late have been hit with a virtual version of the coronavirus!

This is a major downfall in business, I am even struggling to invite people online to come to play Simcountry through my affiliate because of the coronavirus ever since its been here. I am having trouble making money online sales its bloody hard to make some income. This is my secondry income to support my life if i make any sales. And also the market is so in surplus it causes the corporations to lose profits and close it down over time, we need something to come just like the real world share markets stock exchange where its real life reality that we should follow. I hope GM makes some adjustment and easier to perform high performance internet gaming experience for all players.

Jonni and Andy,

Can you comment on my last post? Thanks

Ok np Andy, i do my best to excuse my bad language, I want to help people that is role and i dont want t be rude either but i do get angry when someone crosses my line. Thank you Andy.

Thank you Andy, if i did double post twice my apology because the first post did not come up straight away there is delay.

So, the thing is i want to say now is that i have closed 6 corporations down due to high unemployment and i have lost all my high level managers, something is wrong and so i have increased the numbers in the education system but its not still losing managers every month, so i deleted more corporations I am going backwards and losing points.

Is there anything you could you do please Andy.

you could take a slave country and transfer out all their high level managers then cut them loose again.

AFAIK High Level Managers get promoted from Medium Level Managers who get promoted from Low Level Managers. If you do not have enough at the lower levels its hard to promote up to HLM.

usually missing population in one area is a short term thing. closing companies just makes everything else worse and you will need to reopen them to take up the unemployed LC/MC folks anyway. Given the cost to open a company might prove expensive.

Consider setting hiring levels to 50% or even 10% depending on how bad it is.

Ensure you have sufficient schools. Just changing the education priority without having schools probably won't help much.

Just some things to consider.

I don't think that C3 corps are built fully upgraded but will check.

reducing salaries in C3 countries will reduce purchasing of product.
there are many such countries and the markets will become all green.

I think that the market is stabilizing.
some of what we did helped.
some adjustments took some time to materialize.

we agree that some improvements need to be done to the natural resources but as I said, the market is stabilizing anyway.

As you mentioned about the salaries in C3 slaves countrys, does this also work with the main country if i keep it 300 or is 400 salaries is ok?

Salary levels help improve the welfare index in corporations which is essential as it increases production and profitability.

high salaries are also increasing the cost of corporations and can decrease profits.

some experienced players have tried and probably came to conclusions as to how to optimize salaries to increase the welfare index without exploding the salary costs in corporations.

I assume it is somewhere between 300 and 400.

Ok thank you my friend, stay safe everyone.
