Income - noobish question

[Polarforscher]

Hi everybody,

I just started my first game of Vicki, and I have discovered one problem: the export is not counted as income for me. However, when I stop selling my goods automatically but do it manually, I do get the money. Can anyone explain this to me please?

Actually, you receive only the money from the TAXes + the money of the state bonds.

The tax is calculated on your exports (so if you keep 33%, you should have +- 1/3 of your exports as income)

IMHO, nothing is better than a manual trade, i get rid of these x in the boxes in the trade section. Selling large amounts of goods at high price is better than flooding the market every day with tons of good.

Of course, your income will suffer when you are stockpiling.


Hope this can help!

Actually, I don't think this increases your income much, if at all - rather, I think it lowers it. When you flood the market with a huge sell-off, it drastically lowers the price. Better to instead sell off your daily production to maintain higher prices.

If you increase taxes at the same time you're selling off your stockpile you may get more money out of the deal to keep for yourself anyway. 100% of a little can be more than 50% of a lot. OTOH, there's tariffs to consider, you cheat your POPs on their income and they can afford less from the WM, leaving you with less income from that.
IMO the method is exploitative and should be avoided.
