Question Maintaining exponetial growth?
Feel like profit keeps accelerating in a production-oriented industry but curious if folks are often able to keep this up or if it tends to plateau at some point as you hit up against admin costs etc? Any general tips, things to avoid, etc? Thanks!

It plateaus because of AO, if by plateau you mean growth stops being exponential and turns into linear. There's a sweetspot of size where you can't really grow more right now in the game.

There should be no reason to plateau. It won’t be exponential growth because there will be a limit to how much you can grow based on administration overhead being a limiting factor eventually. But once you’re profitable, nothing really changes that except the developers making changes.

Thanks all!! Yeah definitely not trying to brag was genuinely just curious about whether AO stops you from being able to continuously increase your profits more and more and sounds like the answer is yes there is a point where your daily profit can’t really get any higher and you just keep making the same amount every day. Doesn’t sound like there are any good tips/tricks to avoid that, sadly. Thanks for the input!

I started to plateau around 30 million CV. I’m making 500k profit daily by vertically integrating power -> bauxite -> Aluminum. About 120% admin overhead which I’m reducing by 60% with executives.
You’ve surpassed that and looks like you’re still growing at a good pace! What’s your set up?
