HELP for Captain & Turbo Trucker achievements HERE (part 8)

[Red]

I just spent the entire day making money on HD and made enough to buy the last 4 smelters (!!!!). According to HD, it was my highest grossing day ever, at 124,000. Most of that was my own stock, some reselling stuff I found in DD, but no gifts--I did it on my own! I think next time I need money I'm just going to ask for it. That was a heckofa lotta work, like 15 hours straight.... I am a little obsessed....

So now I'm ready to start prepping for TT3. I'll be back in a day or two (or three) once my supplies are stocked up again. I didn't sell off dairy, sugar etc--items that are worth a lot more than you can sell them for. I've also been sorting the truck orders and have a really nice board right now, very easy. So I'm going to keep that and sell off overages in my store if I make too much of something.

Does anyone have 50 spots in their barn that I can use for saws and axes while I prep for and run TT3?

Hi Keri Nice job. I have a whole 3 spaces right now...sorry

Do you know if your barn is full you can still make things and it will just keep stacking outside the machine

yes, I've done it a lot lately (well, before I sold everything off today--right now I have 150 spots open!)

I am sure I will manage if I keep the saws etc. I just like to be extra prepared. It keeps me from doing things sometimes. I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

[FlorianSchouten]

Sure I can store them. But I don't know when I'll be on tomorrow? Is that ok?

definitely okay. I have a lot of space right now. Late tomorrow or the next day would be fine when I fill up. Then I can stack after that--I think I will still need to stack no matter what. Thanks so much!

I am sure you will do great on your TT runs and we will be here for moral support

It is getting late here so I will say goodnight and see you all tomorrow

Hi Red.......we haven't met yet either........but with the help of this forum was able to acheive Captain III in no time at all.........

like Keri I am getting ready to make that TTIII run.....been stocking up on stuff and have just about 6 of a lot of things like all the cakes(except red berry).......didn't stock up on things that are always on sale in papaper

A couple questions.....
1-should Keri and I coordinate our timing to make sure we aren't "running" at same time.....I was thinking about tomorrow nite or Monday noonish EST
2 - in post #3 it says we will need a lot of popcorn and bread but this can usually be found on sale, should we have a minimum number to start or is that one of things like dairy and sugar that we should just crank out when barn is full
3-I have a neighbor who is also willing to help or is trying to buy from more than one person just too crazy??? In that case, should I put neighbor in touch with my helper once they are assigned to me?


Any words of advice for Keri and I???

and Hi Hi Hi Elise......I heard a rumor you are our TT queen!!!!

[FlorianSchouten]

well you know, I was so "prepared" just in general that I casually did TT2 by mistake. That is, I realized I was on truck number 18 of 20 and I only had 2 to go, and I was like omg, I have no support and don't have what I need for the last 2 trucks, but I found it in the DD, just two things, iirc... It was kind of funny. Who was it who gently chastised me? Just like, "keri, next time, ask for help..."

And I really would have if I saw it coming!!!

so just one run, TT3.

I am flaky and super focused/driven all in the same person. You may have noticed that when I was getting my captain III. Hopefully I don't forget something critical after reading the TT3 post 3 3x. I guess you guys will save me if I flake out somehow, right?

off to bed now. Good night, you two. "See you" tomorrow.

Hi I would be happy to take you through your run on Monday afternoon. Sore as much as you can even on the floor. You do need to only buy from me. Time is of the essence. I will have what ever you don't or get it from one of the back ups. I will also have a back up incase i should lose internet connection or pass out from the excitement so don't stress to much. But try to stock up as much as you can still. Don't worry BnE thats the only guarantee in the DD but do worry about bread and such things that you can today you won't find in the blink of an eye when you need it!

[FlorianSchouten]

I have found that red berry pie, popcorn and bread are not necessarily IMMEDIATELY available in the DD when you most need them. They are of course bountiful when you aren't looking for them. I had a ship I needed popcorn once for, another time bread, and I did it, it was there, but it took ten minutes each time to get the 10 or so I needed (paying full price). You don't want to be scouring the paper. I'm only counting on there being B&E, strawberries, bacon and eggs. I'd say of the four, bacon is the least reliable--the other 3 are super easy.

(Speaking as someone who was intimate with the DD for 15 hours today, lol)

You go first, whenever is good for you--it sounds like you will be ready first. My stock is at almost zero after my day long selling spree today, so if you go in the next 36 hours, there won't be overlap.

I will be ready sooner than you would think because I use Tom, but not before 36h. Good luck, Roya!
