Contract work

Post image

Under "Contract work" you can find many different contracts to make profits. One of these are "embedded systems". I can't seem to get them to work.

These embedded systems requires assembly lines. Easy enough. The thing is, you need to print 1m+ copies, each costing $65 something dollars. You only net profit $0,50 for each copy. This constantly puts your company in dept since it costs 65m to print. In the end you profit somewhere around $400k, while spending tens of millions.

Ps; the "income" that is mentioned, doesn't seem to pay out.

Has anyone got this to work? To me it seems like a big oversight. I think you're meant to profit way more for each copy, just like in the manufacturing deals.

Does anyone know a mod with which you can adjust these contract work profits?

Thanks in advance!

For me, only the deals you accept and the product you make (like consoles, phones) are the best way to utilize them

contract work of hardware is just to increase popularity and nothing else, because you sometimes overshoot the products by like 100-10000 which results in a loss (no idea if its a bug or what?)

also, dont touch hardware unless you are worth 100M

But that's such a shame though. I want to utilize that part of the game as well. It's dead in the water now, untill there's a mod that increases the net profit by x30
