Market

The market is a place where products are requested continuously. It can be used as a stable source of income.

Basic
All the products found in the Basic tab are relatively simple and easy to produce. These are great to start out with as factory grows and capabilities are expanded.

This tab is unlocked at the start of the game.

Medium
Medium products are more complex than Basic products and usually require more expensive workstations to produce efficiently. Medium products also have higher attribute demands than Basic products.

The Medium product tab is unlocked by completing the bronze milestone set.

Advanced
Advanced products are the most complex products on the market and they require multiple operations to produce. Delivering these products can be a real challenge and may require a large investment in terms of machinery and materials.

The Advanced product tab is unlocked by completing the silver milestone set.

Challenges
Challenges are contracts and offers from specific clients. These are usually very well paid, but they may also be quite challenging since they also have to be delivered within a limited timeframe.

Product specification
The tags on the top right will give a simplified summary on what each product may require, how complex it might be to produce, and what materials they are commonly made of.

The graph presents a history of this product's price and how many units that can be delivered during each market cycle.

Players can also view the product's required attributes below the graph. These attributes must be surpassed in order to satisfy this section of the market.

Market cycles
The general market will fluctuate and change over time. This may affect both the price and demand for each product. Products can also disappear from the market if the demand has been extremely low for 3 consecutive market updates.

Delivery
To deliver products to the market, bring up the Market UI and select a product that has been produced, or simply click on "show market offer" on the project's tracker on the right part of the screen. In the market UI select which one of the eligible products to deliver, which loading bay they should be picked up at, and how many to deliver. Note that it is not possible to deliver more than the market is willing to buy at the moment.

Client contracts are picked up automatically as soon as their deadlines are reached. If all parts have been produced then the player may request an early pickup by the client. Simply press the deliver button in the contract tracker and the client will shortly arrive and pickup the products.
