Want to waste your afternoon? I got you

Pro-tip: as soon as you can start investing, do it. You can make way more revenue than with manufacturing.

tip #2: don't get stuck buying too many processors, Keep Memory to processor ratio above 2:1

I can hardly afford an auto-clipper and you're out here talking about investing, memory, and processors?

Lowered price to $0.15 and have two autoclippers. My unsold inventory stays in the 60s and my available funds just keeps rising. Can I sit here forever like this?

Man, once you get those auto-clippers running and lower price for higher demand, this is EZ mode.

The first hour or so is pretty nonstop.
I played for like an hour yesterday and left it running overnight, had a shitton of money just everything ended up out of proportion until i got to full autonomy at 100 trust / 70 memory

I' assuming once I run a marketing campaign I'll get a quick spike in sales and need a lot of inventory to cover it right?

ETA: Well, no spike in demand.

Yes.

I'm trying to keep demand at 100-110%, every level of marketing makes demand increase relative to price.

Basically more auto clippers allows you to lower the price (output more clips) and get more revenue/sec.

Marketing increases demand and allows you to raise the price, also increasing revenue.

Once you can buy mega clippers stop buying auto clippers

As soon as that happens, I'm just leaving the browser open for a few hours.

ETA: Should have listened to OP re: Memory v Processors, though.
