hi,
first i want to introduce myself.
my name is wilfried and i collect smurfs - so i got my nickname
PapaSchlumpf - short "paps"
i´m one of the first players and started december 2003.
on tis page: http://fans.industrie-tycoon.de/papsfaq.php
i build a Help-page in german language including following parts:
General [Allgemein]
Buildings [Gebäude]
Products [Produkte]
Research [Forschung]
in the last time i got more and more questions how to play this simulation maybe i create one in english too.
if yo have a translater you may use the german heplsites, if not here is a small help.
a free of charge translater you will find under: http://systran.heisoft.de/ remark it for the future
When you start with this game You can build only some of the products !!!!!
there are 50 levels of research and with each step you got new products / buildings
after the registration please do this things first:
think about what you will do: deliever Raw materials or: create an industrie within producing of raw-materials, factorys to build wares and sellers-markets to sell it (you can make much money)
stage1:
if you work in Raw materials klick on the navigation-bar >> Sude - and under Supply and demand - Raw materials
here you see the balance of production and demand
today (30.12.2004) i can tell you there´s no raw material used what you can deliever.
so i tell you: forget to deliver raw materials - create an industrie
stage2:
there are 6 kind of industries
1. Vegetables (Food) / Shop Grocrey
2. Toys / Toyshop
3. Textil / Textile store
4. Furniture / Furniture store
5. Building matirial industrie / property market
6. Paper industries / Bookstore
now look again under >> sude - end products and see again the balance within production and demand then choose your industrie
go to the item build - in the next window you see a map with raw materials - is there enaugh of raw material for you industry ?
if yes - accept it - if not generate a new map. do it so often till you like it !
normaly any month your raw departs are producing - NOT THE FARMS !
producing monthly:
cattle ranch, henfarm
farms producing once a year:
wheatfarm: seed month 4 - harvest month 10 (46 units)
fruitfarm: seed month 6 - harvest month 9 (42 units)
hopsfarm: seed month 4 - harvest month 12 (37 units)
vineyard: seed month 5 - harvest month 10 (17 units)
as example i do it with vegetables - it´s the badest choice to make money but i like it 
now it´s a bad choice to because the prices for meat, milk and eggs are down and this is only an example
how to play i-tycoon
