Thanks mzmflo - makes for interesting reading. I rarely do truck orders except for jewellery/ metal bars and did both TT2 and 3 without worrying. Just lots of stock on hand and went for it. Largely I over prepared except for apple pies and carrot juice. have a heap of bread and popcorn left:D
Good luck when you do TT3:)
Thanks! I just did tt3 45 mins ago lol... As truck 11 comes by and the orders starts to be a bit demanding, i wondered if i am crazy to do it without help. Kinda relieved when achievement popped xD
congratulations! It is a great feeling at the end. All this over a game!:o
thank you! Congrats to you too!, apologies for my manners lolQuote:

I have done that one and captain 3. Still citizen Kane 3 to go and a few other fishing/mining/animal ones to go but those others are the hardest.Quote:

My real life job is analysing performance figures so i do tend to try and switch it off when I come home but seeing what you guys have done makes me think that it actually could be the way forward to get the best out of your game and meet whatever your requirements are at the time
ARGH i typed a lot and it disappeared damn backspace grrrrrrrrrrrQuote:

I am really all about maximising my game play lol. I did not include exact number of the bonuses in the spreadsheet but i will include an example here.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psd3e7c5d7.jpg
items max sell price RSS items breakdown max sell price RSS coins earned event coins earned normal xp earned bonus xp 10% bonus coins 10% 1 apple pie, 1 cream cake, 1 blackberry jam, 1 berry cake $1,126 3 apples, 2 egg, 1 syrup, 7 wheats, 1 white sugar, 1 cream, 3 blackberries, 2 cherries, 1 raspberries, 1 milk, $806 $1,654 $827 325 31 $80
Now, if this is an order without event, completing it will only gain 827g + 80g and 356xp (incld bonus).
And if you wondered how i derived with the magic number 80g for 10% bonus, I can tell you that i did not get that on my own, its what the game gave me when I completed that order, same goes to the XP bonus.
So, I calculated per item, 4 of those items, if you receive a 10% for EACH because the tooltip said "All goods", technically we should get a extra $113g (rounded to nearest decimal) based on max RSS selling price. if the bonus is based off total coins earned, i am still getting less. If the 10% is based off default price, then it definitely should be lesser than 80g.
So, ignoring the xp factor aside, most of the truck orders are losses for the player especially if you are the kind of player that buys off people to fill instead of making your own products. So, with every order i fill, I do this kind of comparison. I usually just do it mentally and flick off whatever is not profitable with time spent vs xp gained, and cost vs profit gained. To me, it seems like SC is creating a subtle gold sink. It looked like you are actually profiting, but you are really not.
Am i being too nitpicky? LOL i enjoy doing this though.
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Right now I'm old school, just ticking items off on a handwritten list for TT3. I noticed today though that all my items I made yesterday and overnight are not piling in front of my machines. They seem to be lost. <sniffle> and I made a bunch of new items too. before last night's maintenance my items always piled in front of the machines with the last items I made showing on top and the first to be picked up. Now I don't see them and they're not picked up when I grab the first few items.
i know I've seen others with this issue but can't find thread and there's no response under the bugs/issues category. Has anyone run into this? Any advice on how to fix or do I wait for supercell? Is there a way to report this other than the bugs/issues category? First time I've had an issue.
So much for tracking my items! ;):p
