Supplies quality

what are the effects of raising or lowering quality of supplies for country and corps, is 100 quality same as 190, i know that lower quality = lower costs but whats the benefit of higher quality supplies for country and corps? does it have effect on corps output quality altough the corps are upgraded.

thanks

The quality of the supplies is tied to the quality of the product. The higher the supply quality the higher the quality of the final product. There is a limit though and I think it is around 200q. Much higher than that and you don't gain in final quality, and the cost of production reduces profit. A more fastidious player could inform you of the exact number.

I prefer to order really low qua and have my corps supply each other so I get inexpensive high qua materials to balance them out.
It results in a massive total turnover of 151B per month that I dun collect because I want my values to rise.

I think the equations may have changed in recent years, but if I remember some of that change may have been reversed a few months ago. So, basically ordering at around 180 or 190 will result in a higher production which makes up for the extra cost. Higher than that and you are wasting money.

@starfoth what can u benefit from high corp values, i know that u do IPO and sell shares to public but is that worth it? as u get lower shares and so less profit share in the future

i dont have CEO btw so is aiming to IPO corps good thing in this case?

and i dont understand how u get high quality supplies by making ur corps sell to each other

dont they produce low quality products and so they supply low quality products to each other? is that due to ur corp being upgraded to the max and so they produce high quality and sell to each other higher quality products than that u ordered? am i right

so for multiple questions , but really need help !

Sorry for the late response, just got your message.
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THIS IS WHAT I'VE OBSERVED:

That's an odd assumption on corp values.
If they retain money, have a good, healthy stock, and lots of upgrades and a history of profit, they get high corp values.
>IPO'ing is kind'a dangerous as there are numerous dodged taxes. It happens in real life, and is kinda painful. However, if you sell 5% (check the portfolio targets as to make it 95%) then you recieve more money. How? It pays property taxes. State corps will not pay full profit, and just buy more stuff with it.
>IPO'ing can be dangerous, but if you retain a minimum 20% and it becomes enterprise, it can do a substantial amount more upgrades.
>By selling on the local market, this happens; qua 170 supplies>qua 200 upgraded corp>qua 273 supplies.

Then, you make them sell to eachother and thus qua 273 at cheap price>qua 200 upgraded corp>qua 308. Point is that you get the qua 273 at qua 120 prices, thus cheap materials.

THE FOLLOWING DETAILS ARE BASED ON A COMMON-MARKET RELIANT COUNTRY AND ENTERPRISE:
-Qua 170 of a fully upgraded state corps (upgrades to 200) turns into qua 273 artifacts.
-Qua 170 of a fully upgraded private corp(225 upgrades) turns into qua 307 upgrades.
-Qua 170 of a superupgraded(See addendum 001-A) corp(upgrades to 250) turns into the coveted qua 333 artifacts.

ADDENDUM 001-A:
If youa re an enterprise looking for risky investments, you can superupgrade.
1. Fully upgrade a private corp.
2. IPO until 20% ownership, be wary not to have it too valuable or noticeable to avoid other enterprises buying long-term shared.
3. Let it upgrade 25 more points on each, or boost for quickness.
4. Buy back all shares.
5. Upgrades will be at 250 if you did everything right and output coveted materials with cheap inputs. Namely; many of the most militaristic nations will ONLY buy weapons and ammo from said corps.

24% is the max, I try to get the country its in 23%, my second enterprize 23%, and the controlling enterprize 24%, reduces the chance of someone screwing it up...
