1. Where do you buy technology levels without building a new factory? I cant find it anywhere.
2. Where do you buy tech licenses?
3. Where do you list a tech for sale or license?
4. How do you optimize a research lab?
5. How long does it take to research a tech? anyone have any formulas? for # of workers at what education level, qualification, etc.
6. If I find a tech I want to buy while my researchers are in the middle of researching it, is there any way to have their work applied to the next level? or will they start again once i buy it?
7. How do I upgrade my equipment without throwing all the old equipment away? How do I just get rid of a FEW units of equipment and replace SOME with better ones?
8. Any other researching and tech tips?
 
If anyone has ANY techs to sell or license to me, I am starting to make 20 different products so I would be interested maybe in techs for many of them, please contact me,
 
thx.
 
Also a little poll, = Should a link be added in the top menu for buying techs?

honorchamp,
 
have you actually tried to put a licence up for sale or buy one for your factories?
 
buyers may wish to buy for 1k, but there certainly are NOT many licences that go for that, esp the higher level ones.
 
with the new tech reform introduced a few days ago, there is a presumed minimum cost/licence depending on the tech and level.  'tax' is collected on that assumed min level if the asking price is lower than that.  player would lose money if they sell licences at a lower cost.
 
since i joined the game and read through the forums, i cannot recall even ONCE where Fractal is wrong.  Looking at your numerous posts, honorchamp, i can certainly not say the same of you.
 
please test out your accusations before posting in the forum in such a negative, unhelpful way.
 
many players have posted very helpful information for new players, at their own expense.  a lot of the same sorts of questions have been answered multiple times by very patient and helpful players.  
 
of course the game can be improved.  i believe admin and the developers already know that.  suggestions for game improvement has its own thread.  people generally respond better to suggestions than strong criticism.  i hope you are amongst those.
 
lastly, an matter of etiquette - please do not hijack other players' posts/topics with your repetitions of a "seriously broken game".  i would think quite a few of us do not share your sentiment.

Hundreds of millions? Nope, wrong.
It takes hundreds of millions to RESEARCH a tech but only one thousand to buy a license for it.
 
You obviously havent done the math here.

Sorry, I thought the numbers on my license sale report page that add up to over 3 BILLION meant I had made that much from license sales. I honestly don't know how I could have made that mistake.
 
I have 3 techs with total sales above 500 million each. That is an awful lot of sales if I only got 1000 each time, wouldn't you agree.
 
Correct, I haven't done the math. All I did was look at the report that lists my license sales in an informative and easy to understand format.
 
@ccm_tsang - Thank you very much for the words of support. It is nice to know there is some appreciation for trying to share what I know.

Question:
 
How do you accept an offer?
 
I have about 10 completed researches. One even has 22 lucrative offers. But nothing is selling. How can one place an offer and NOT buy?
 
Confused.
 
Here is another one...
Sports Equipment Production
Total EXpenditures: $102 085.71

crifasi enterprises $11 000.00
Fiveseven SE $9 999.00
Umbrella Corp $9 500.00
 
I have received ZERO Income from my Research Lab.
 
Where is the value? Am I missing something? Why do I get so many offers and no income from sales?
 
Should I just sell the research lab or abandon it? It is just a money suck.

@queenwiki:
You do not accept those offers put there by sellers. In other words, those people are not buying, they are selling. You can also put your tech for sale and hopefully someone someday will order one.
 
The price buyer pays will be the average of all seller offers, except sellers who are disqualified from sales for putting unrealistic offers. the money will be divided between all sellers, not necessarily equal dividends, except the disqualified ones who get nothing.

Does anyone knows if the research time goes down if you hire more scientist than required ?
 
For example researching a lvl 4 tech requires 10 scientist but if you have the money,eqt, and topmanager for it, you can hire more scientist but does it actually matters?
 
2. question:
If you do hire more scientist than required, to max out your top 1, for faster qualifications grow, does it count? I mean do my qualification grows quicker if a max out on scientist even though its not required?

1. Additional scientists may speed up third stage of research (factory test), but not first or second stage.
2. Yes. Maximising top-3, however, is more important than top-1.
 
Been inactive for two years, but that's how it used to work those days. To wink

Does this then mean that its as a rule of thumb is better to buy the business booster for state 1 or 2 and then max out scientist for stage 3?

Gram, I don't know any rule of thumb. I just share what I think I know, but it's you who decides what strategy to adopt. If you want a 100% bullet-proof answer wait for more experienced players' replies.
