What purpose of QL?

    What does QL do? Do stores sell more at higher prices for higher QL?


    The QL is needed to increase the desirability of your products.


    If your QL is far below the global avg. QL, you will get problems in selling your goods in your shops, because the virtual people go buying at the competitors.


    This effect will increase by the research level of the relevant product.
    For example:
    The QL of Tools (which is research level 0) is nearly irrelevant for selling, but the QL of luxury motor-car (which is above research level 30) is important to get your cars sold, if there are other players with good QL.

    Also, do you need, say, QL 5 cut wood to make QL 5 wooden boards? (Or if you research wooden boards, can you make QL 5 wooden boards from QL 0 cut wood?)


    Wooden boards is a semi-finished goods. To produce one wooden board you need one cut wood. The max. QL of a semi-finished good or an end product is the QL of this product.
    In your example wooden board must be QL 5 to be able to become QL5 during processing in your factories.
    But an product will be only as good as its raw materials.
    Therefore with cut wood QL0 your wooden boards will also be only QL0.
