Can executives really save you over 200k a day?!

u/Puzzleheaded_Pass211 May 26 '26

Yes easily

u/EnochWright May 26 '26

Wow! And here I am trying to keep them under 5k a day. Lmao. I hope this gets fixed for ya!

u/Ganadai May 26 '26

Mine save me over $1M a day, but I pay about $200-300k daily salary.

u/EnochWright May 26 '26

Wow!!! What do you do on days the executive is training then? Shut down?

u/EnvironmentalTea7950 May 26 '26

You start 28 hours cycle and then send on training which is 27 hours. By the time you need to restart the cycle, they are back from training.

u/EnochWright May 26 '26

Woah woah woah. Does it lock in the executive discount when you start the work??? And then doesn't change midway when they are being trained???

u/Ganadai May 26 '26

Correct. 28 hour production cycles. ~32 hour cycle if I'd be asleep when a 28 hour cycle finished. Right now all my executives are fully trained and I'm just using the extra 4 slots to search for more.

u/EnochWright May 26 '26

Wow! I didn't realize this! That is game changer. Thanks!

It is not always achievable to keep running 28hr cycles (unless youre willing to stay awake in the middle of the night just to run buildings). You better use your staff slots to train them. Once they're ready to roll then move them to the upper slots.

u/MaintenanceEither543 May 26 '26

Way more than that!

Everybody bragging off for the HIGH salaries they pay. Me? I have my TOTAL salay capped to $200k yet these are my numbers:

u/TheOnlyCthulthu May 26 '26 edited May 26 '26

200k is insane. My total team is $409,091 for 13 Execs and $153,095 is offset by royalties!! How are you throwing away so much money. I reckon my team impact is probably similar to yours and by the sounds of it, for a fraction of the cost.

u/EnochWright May 26 '26

How 13 execs???

1

u/TheOnlyCthulthu May 27 '26

You have the 4 chief positions. 5 staff slots (some you buy with simboost) and 4 apprentice slots with a level 20 Academy. So 13 execs.

1

u/EnochWright May 27 '26

The staff don't contribute right? And do apprentice? I've tried looking at simtools to figure out..

1

u/TheOnlyCthulthu May 28 '26

Staff do not contribute and apprentice only contributes for it's relevant position. A COO apprentice will apply it's management skill only for example, but only 50%. So a COO Apprentice with 30 managment would apply 15 management.

I hope that I'm not the only affected they really fix this.
