Mobile Devices Corporation Adjustment

Not the highest priority issue, I just want to urge Andy to take a glance at Mobile Devices corporations for a moment when he has the chance and consider some rebalancing.

I got the dreaded 'Risk of closure. The debt is too high' on one of mine which made me take a look at it, knowing that it was probably because I let it go too long without manually giving it Silver. That part is perfectly fine, silver is an issue all over the place.

The profit and loss on Mobile Devices corporations however seems a bit lacking though - even without factoring in the difficulty in production because of silver. My fully optimized enterprise controlled public corp (ECPC) Mobile Devices (220Q input, 337Q output, 100 Salary) produces ~ $6.20B sales at max market price against ~ $5.33B expenses. Of those expenses, $3.59B is raw materials.

So material costs are 58% of revenue, and total pre-tax profit is ~ $0.87B

We've talked about it on Discord. I agree. The corp is not a good earner.

I agree also I have a electric car motor that is max price and losing. 75 mil. Also people need to burn some electric car bats, Also electric car bats eats a lot of silver. I need the motor corp for my electric cars. Whoever runs little atlas need to do a better job supplying the mining good.

Thanks for the comment.
I will look into it.

It might be that the increased use and increased importance of Silver impacted some types of corporations in a negative way.

I will check and if needed, tune it.

BTW
We have done some research on Silver two years ago and found that a new type of car batteries was developed using a lot of Silver. (about one Kg per car or a little more than 2 pounds).
we then decided to introduce these batteries in the game and also reacted on it in the real world, assuming that the price will increse.
By now it increased by a factor of nearly 3.

I suggest we all start mining Silver like crazy on TA and sell it on the real world.

Thank you for the consideration assuming it was on my comment and not mrp.

I tried to do a good bit of leg work to not just identify the issue but provide a sensible solution that is minimally impactful on any other areas.

Andy has like 5 of those electric car bats they lose 2bil a month. All of them are user owned. Regular bats does way better then any of this stuff. But yeah Mobile is pretty bad and needed but we don't want to have

I will look into electric car batteries making such losses.
It could be that the use of Silver had a negative impact on these corporations.

We have looked into mobile devices.
There is a huge shortage, the price is at its max and very few corporations are constructed.
you need game level 4 to create these corporations.

we think that one problem is Silver.

Silver is in short supply and mobile devices need Silver.

Changing the corporate model will not resolve the problem.

There is a lot of silver on TA.
and there is a lot of silver in many countries in all worlds.

we would like to help in helping to reduce silver shortages and by doing so, allow more mobile devices corporations to produce more.
when these corporations produce at full capacity, they are very profitable.

There are many countries with more than 100 natural resources.
These can be conquered or purchased.
Using the natural resources can result in very high profitability for such countries.

We have looked at the purchase price for these countries and
