Big Business - game discussion

[kelB]

depends on whether your prepared to spend real cash, go for Dairies to make cottage cheese and forget all the other production chains until you have 10 dairies, 5 packing plants, and 3-4 ranches.

Do the achievements, especially the ZERO population and 666 population early.

Use the terminal, I have three each with 5 Double Deckers, about $40 with discounts, and that brings in 90k every five hours.

I'm trying not to expand to much at the moment and concentrate on upgrading what I have and selling lots of items..

What's ZERO population and 666 ?

They are acheivments .. You need to take your population down to zero ( best to this now when your population is low) and the 666 is another acheivment where your population is 666 so it is good to have a few houses that give 1 population. If you read through the posts there are several lists of the known acheivments which is a big help for everyone playing.

So, i'm currently on the 10 marble and 15 gold beams, does this list look right as to what's coming up:
10 avocados and 10 cheesecakes
upgrade tower
35 pizza & 2500 energy
15 engineers and 30 drills
10 silver medals
10 gold and 10 silver keys

Thanks for the list. I need 2 gold beams then on to the elusive avocados (2 in about 2 weeks using a double decker and 2 buses) but I will get started on the cheesecakes.

Gee, I wish I had known this before I'm on 1560 population lol ... Will begin the task of reading every post on here tonight.

I will probably never achieve this one...I spend too much. Do you have the food plant? That has good returns.

No, I don't have the food plant yet. Have to increase population first, but I have to do that anyway for the eiffel tower cheesecakes. Currently, I am producing engineers. So, i have still some running costs, but I could spend some time on the game today and will probably make 200k profit today. So, in a few weeks, I will probably hit the 7mil. Then I have a lot of cash to make all those investments I am currently postponing - looking forward to that ;-)

Careful scooter, sometimes you only get credit when items are placed into the warehouse. If you produce in advance you may find out you need to do it all again. what I did is prepared 10 jams in advance. So now I'm ready to produce fairly quickly.

Kel, you are not too far. See what, you can do to add a terminal. That the only way I know to drive down population. It requires city credits to buy unless you see it on your board. . The game put the terminal in the forest . The way I acquired the terminal was that I just had to buy land up to it and then to a bunch of tasks. Scan the forest beyond your city. Good luck

I have just started the 15 engineers and 30 drills, fortunately it accepts both from existing inventory so 15 engineers to build at a cost of 900k nice, luckily I have 5 colleges all at level 4 so only will take 30 hours to build. Worried about silver medals as I guess that means competitions!!!! Is there any other way to get them.

Add: "JK Clifford" and desperate for Fountains - always will gift back inc Billboards if run out of free gifts

Great forum guys! Just need to find out a few more secret achievements:

Home Sweet Home
Marble Excesses
The Fever Got Me
No Excesses

I've got the terminal, I just upgraded it but unable to do anything until I train a driver at a college I don't have lol

I found the 666 one in the list of achievements but bit the zero one.. Is this one of the 'secret' achievements?

Currently producing items in all factories and selling to make profit to build myself the college.

Yes, it's called Leave Me Alone I think!

I did not go a day with out one after max visits. But I have noticed that when I do get the beams it's usually towards the end. So here is the thing. Now I swear that I did the max visits, you know when suddenly all friends have the green check mark. Well, today I thought I did the max visits and only had one beam. I receive more gifts and visit the friend, I found that I had more to go. So wait until you get a gift and check again. Now for me, I make it a point to visit each friend that sends me a gift, helps me identify the name and their city, if that makes any sense. That's how my brain works because I have Aspergers. So even after I max my visits I still get visits, I just don't know if they are extra (from receiving a gift) or did I not see the unchecked friend.

Thanks! I'll try that.

Just now one of my friends sent me a Level 6 tree as a gift. (Not the Poplar)

I can't send trees other than Poplar as gifts, can anyone else?

1560 is a lot better than trying to get 133,678 to zero. Ive been one this task for two weeks now and just hit 89,000.

I have around 250k to get to zero, but need the flexibility to swap in factories, once Eiffel Tower is complete then am going to shoot for it using prod bonuses since they reduce terminal times as well.
