Company Profitability Guide: How to Invest Smart and Multiply Your Wealth
📌 Disclaimer & Note:
This report was prepared and developed based on testing and analyzing a sample of production companies within the game (such as Oil, Iron, Ammo, and Fish Steak), and does not cover every single company in the game. The goal is to provide a practical financial model to help you evaluate any company on your own using real numbers and calculating the "Net Return per Production Energy Point" after applying regional bonuses!
📊 Comprehensive Financial Comparison (Including Regional Bonuses)
When factoring in Regional Bonuses, Market Selling Prices, and raw material costs for the tested companies, here is the ranking of net profits per 1 Point of Production Energy:
1st Place 🏆: Oil
Bonus: +50.5% | Market Price: 0.10
Net Return: 0.1505 currency per 1 Production Energy Point
The Secret: Combines a great selling price with a high regional bonus, alongside a lower regional tax rate compared to others.
2nd Place 🥈: Ammo / Lead
Bonus: +50% | Market Price: 0.10
Net Return: 0.1500 currency per 1 Production Energy Point
The Secret: A solid and reliable strategic choice whose profitability increases further during wars and active battles.
3rd Place 🥉: Iron
Bonus: +60% | Market Price: 0.09
Net Return: 0.1440 currency per 1 Production Energy Point
The Secret: Boasts the highest regional bonus, but comes in third because its market price per unit is slightly lower (0.09).
4th Place 🎖️: Fish Steak
Bonus: +25% | Market Price: 8.50
Energy Consumption: 40 Production Energy for raw Fish + 40 Production Energy for Processing (with bonus) = 80 Total Production Energy yielding 1.25 Fish Steaks.
Net Return: 0.1328 currency per 1 Production Energy Point (10.625 \div 80).
The Secret: The +25% bonus significantly boosted its profits compared to before, but it remains in fourth place due to the complexity of supply chains compared to direct raw materials.
🧠 Three Golden Rules for Successful Investing:
Don't Be Fooled by Final Product Prices: An item selling for 8.50 might be less profitable overall than one selling for 0.10 if the former drains massive amounts of energy and raw inputs!
The Employee Tax Trap: Working yourself (Work Yourself) is the safest strategy for raw material companies, as worker tax deductions (10%) consume your thin profit margins.
Leverage Regional Bonuses: Always build your companies in regions offering bonuses of at least 50% to 60% to maximize your output with no extra effort.
📝 Conclusion:
Based on current testing, if you want the fastest and highest yield for your wealth today: focus on Oil and Ammo via self-work, and invest your Production Energy where it gives you the highest net yield!
