Year 7 Day 350 14:05	Facility income problem
Cody Starslinger	ok here is my problem one of my facilities (an office) recived a 80k loss but i dont see why it would loose anymoney and by that much , because it is powered and the entry status is set to all. the city its located is not that bad either. the offices in that city made 40k, but i just recived a dm form someone who owns annother office in thesame city and he was making a profit but now made a loss. i guess all i want to know is what factors are causing this and how do i fix them. ____________

Syn	There are many different factors which can affect the amount of income you receive, and you should remember that income takes the entire planet's stats into account. The Employment Rate of the planet should be between 1-2. The tax rate should be low; 5% is default. The Crime Rate should be as close to 0 as possible; 1 is very bad. These factors can change from month to month if new facilities were constructed over the course of the month. Or there may simply be too many of that facility type to sustain them all. ____________

Farlan Kagan	Another item you might want to check is the Trading skill of the person set as the operator of the facility. I'm not sure if that would give you a loss, but it's worth checking up on anyways. ____________

Khan	If you can get me the ID of the facility I can look it up for you and see why it made such a large loss. ____________ Kids these days!

Khan	Looks like you've got a problem with the ER (Employment Rate). It's 8.5 when it's supposed to be between 1 and 2. To be more precise, the planet has 2,268 jobs on it but only 264 flats. Essentially you've got too few people to fill the jobs and more flats need building. If you yourself can't do this then you should contact the group controlling the planet and see what plans they have for building more flat producing facilities. If they have none then it'd be better to set the facility to open to crewlist so it doesn't run at a loss on the next income run. ____________ Kids these days!

Hal Breden	Facilities always make far more or a loss than they do of a profit. It sucks, but that's how it works. Just a quick note from experience of having facilities on planets that "went bad". ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.
