This route eliminates the confusion caused by misinformed guides. It works for both small and large players: here you will learn how to stop wasting resources and maximize your real profits.
To make your empire work, you must know the true value of your production:
Historical Average Price: 0.080 coins for every 1 PP.
Why? Manufacturing basic materials like Metal or Limestone costs 1 PP. The market price usually fluctuates between 0.078 and 0.083, with 0.080 being the most stable average.
Daily Formula: (PP per hour) x 24 hours x 0.080.
⚠️ GOLDEN RULE (Employees): DO NOT HIRE EMPLOYEES. It is not profitable at any level. The market margin does not allow for profit if you pay wages; it is cheaper to buy the product than to pay an employee to make it.
Daily Profit Difference (Bonus vs. No Bonus):
Level 1: 1.92 (No Bonus) vs ~3.15 (64% Bonus)
Level 2: 3.84 (No Bonus) vs ~6.30 (64% Bonus)
Level 4: 7.68 (No Bonus) vs ~12.60 (64% Bonus)
Level 5: 9.60 (No Bonus) vs ~15.74 (64% Bonus)
Conclusion: The bonus nearly doubles your progress. Look for regions with +50/60%.
PHASE A: The 2 Free Ones (Companies 1 and 2)
The game grants you 2 free companies at the start.
Step 1: Bring these 2 companies to Level 2 before trying to upgrade any to Level 4.
Step 2: Upgrade both to Level 4.
Logic: It is cheaper and generates fast cash flow (96 PP/day).
PHASE B: Expansion and Skill Points (Companies 3 to 12)
Each player level gives you 4 Skill Points (SP). Opening new slots costs one additional point for each:
Company 3: 1 SP | Company 4: 2 SP | Company 5: 3 SP | Company 6: 4 SP... (and so on up to 12).
Golden Rule: Any company you open with SP must be upgraded DIRECTLY TO LEVEL 4.
Logic: The opening cost scales. Don't waste an expensive slot on low levels; it must be producing at maximum efficiency immediately.
PHASE C: The Level 5 Wall (Companies 11 and 12)
Upon reaching 10 companies, DO NOT open the 11th yet.
First, upgrade your 10 existing companies to Level 5.
Logic: The concrete cost for the 11th is excessive. It is more profitable to improve your 10 companies (earning ~3 more coins for each) before paying for a new construction.
Don't look at one company in isolation: A single Level 4 company takes ~45 days to pay for itself.
The Reality: If you use the profit from your 5 companies working together, you recover the investment of the last one in just 9 or 10 days. Your "old" companies finance the "new" ones.
Starting from the 8th company, aim for this balance with your 4 points per level:
Energy (Working for others): +60 (Average pay: 3-4 coins for every 10 energy points).
Entrepreneurship (Own): +40.
Personal PP (PPS): +25.
Fact: A new Level 4 Company generates ~12.60 coins, while the increase in skills only adds about 6-7 coins. The company is the priority.
Prioritize "width" (many Level 4 companies) over height. Do not withdraw profits for personal expenses until you complete your 12-company empire. Discipline is the key to becoming a tycoon!
