Quickstart

This tutorial shell enable you to choose and build your first building fast and efficiently. For any additional information search in the wiki or ask in the chat. Long experiences showed, that the best way to start is to start with a store. You have more to do, a better view on the gamemechanic and faster progress (not only in profit). This Quickstart is developed for the start with a store as your first building. If you even want to start with a factory, ( never farm or animal husbandry!) choose your product, build a 1800m² factory near the city and good luck...

1. Buildingtyp Take your time for this step! The right storetyp and the right place determinates your sucsess in the first weeks more than everything else!

• click "statistics" => "Profit/Goodwill"

• study the first 10-20 managerprofis wich are younger than one month

This way you can easyly see, wich storetyp provides you actualy with the highest profit. Empirical this are beverage store, drugstore and kiosk. Also look for the town (ZH = Zasterhausen, RB = Reibach, shown in front of the buildings in the profil)where the sucsessfull managers have build there stores and build your store there too.

• change to your favorite location with the place-name sign
• click "city" => "wholesalemarket"
• select your favorised storetyp in the right top

At your beginning you depend on the wholesale market. It is very important that there is a abundant supply in sufficient quality (80+) and reputation (80+). If there is a absence of offers prefer another storetyp you saw while studiing the newcomerranking.

If you choosed your storetyp you can make the next step.

2. Placement of you Store

• click "city" => "Map P/S" => filter "all buildings" on the right side
• hold CTRL and click "Map P/S" a second time

and this time filter your storetype and "range on/off" on the left side

This way you opend two tabs. One shows all buildings and the second all stores off your favorite typ with there sellingrange (the square around the black points).

Dont be afraid, the cities look full, but like you saw in the profis there are huge profits possible for newcomer!

For now this is the most important step! Look closely where you build your store. In the darkred areas is a higher selling than in the white area, but the competition with supermarkets and superstores is much higher too. It is important to build your store fare away enough from the cityborder to have (mostly) all your sellingrange (six blocks in every direction) on cityarea. Choose the place with the best population-competition-ratio.

If you found a good place you can make the next step.

Here all shevles are shown, wich are in competition with you. Left you can see how much they overlap with your selling area (in %). At the right side you can find the "factor". By comparing the factores within each sellingblock the system determinds how many people buy in your store (spoken easy: higher factor = higher amount of sold items). You can raise the factor by hiring the staff or lowering the price. In the first time try to set your factor in the middle of your cometitioners by clicking on the blue man left in your shevle to come back to your store and change the price.

• Watch for 2-3 ticks (each every 15 minutes) the numbers on the left side in each shevle
• they stand for (from top to bottom)

* realy sold items
* items, that could be sold with enough employees
* percentage from both numbers

Do both shevles have 100% everything is fine. If on shevle has a lot less higher the price a little or give some more employees from the other shevle. Watch and optimize some more ticks.

Wonderful! You made it! You own a good placed store and gain profit (from 8:05 to 23:50) as long you fill it with Items.

All next steps (get suppliers, optimize the shevles, more stores, first productions...) are in your hand now ;)
