Please add any piece of information about game strategy and setup to this post until the wiki is complete. I am sure that I am not the only one who has questions about game play.

I am just trying to help you out so that you are not overwhelmed. Do you have to start from the ground up? i.e.  farm, factory, warehouse, store.

Admin. I copied this from one of your post. Hope you don’t mind.

Well the basic strategy to make money in the game is this one:

1. Build a factory and manufacture finished products.
- You can buy raw material from mines/sawmills/oil wells
- You can buy semi-finished products from other factories

2. Build a store and sell your finished products to the population.

I was wondering how you know what you need to make a product. Like chairs for example: Do you need more than just wood in your factory? If so what do you need? Thanks for any help.

Admin. , I know you are working on it, but I have a factory that isn’t producing…specifically bread. Do I need to find suppliers of flour or…?

For bread you need flour.

For flour you need wheat.

Wheat is grown in farms during May, June and July.

More info on how to build a farm here :

(Check the table at the bottom of the page -> it shows the harvesting months for all farm products)

I second All Star’s suggestion…it would be great to have the products both ways. Leather obviously makes leather bags and leather wallets, but it makes shoes too…it would be great if leather’s wiki entry would list what it’s a component as well.  Thanks!
