Rolls eyes...

No one is talking about that. Learn some maths. Grow to read graphs. Read again.

spires, I have to say I'm unfamiliar with you and the way you stated the issues you *THINK* you are having are merely things that go along with LEARNING the GAME in which these mechanics are applied.

Their should be a quiz/test to give newer players rights to posting on the forum, or have a separate section of the forum for Q&A that for instance LG, Scarlet, Josias, etc.. (active forum helpful experienced players) are also added to respond.
(I know we have help forums but maybe restrictions based on Time registered) :P

and To Super and spires:

All corporations are capable of making profit regardless of the ' market price '. WhiteDarkness, LG, Blueserpent, Floyd, and myself have proved this time and time again, its just a matter of listening instead of trying to get us to conform to your ideas/gameplay. because trust me, we've tried nearly everything.

Personally, my corporations do just fine by following a very simple strategy of producing products that are in high demand. Some of my corps are in areas that have periods of oversupply, but not a great oversupply and I can simply ride those out.

So, I suggest simply producing products that are in short supply.

"So, I suggest simply producing products that are in short supply. "

This suggestion all new players should heed to, save em lots of trouble. (just remember to check the graphs to you can determine if its just temporary shortage or a long one)

Also, as in RL, some corps goes out of business cause of the competition. If you cant make your fully upgraded corp to produce a profit, consider sell it or close it.

to take what niai just said a little farther, corps that are usually in high demand... take a look at their supplies. all corps buy supplies that are in demand, FMU, and Power for example, but corps that use allot of high priced supplies, like Books and News Papers. If your building those, consider using lower quality supplies, experiment...

to take what Josias said, that will take NiAi's just a little further ( I feel like we're playing telephone lol) If you go to a country on a world, then go to the General>Download History>Product History and download err, well depending on how precise you intend to be with economics, You will notice patterns from an over all perspective.

Most people don't use these Downloadable docs any more, but if you only knew how priceless they are to older players. They don't post them for every month, for many game years in advance for no reason :P

Also refer to the Leaving guide for further tips on Josias's topic

***
use a spending space booster to your mains, and/or enterprise, buy as many as possible of electric power (cheaper to do the nuclear power) and FMU's at 100 quality..and sell them into your corporations..
