6.2 Calculation of service prices

Every midnight in the Sweden version, the new day's **office service prices** are computed. Prices vary from city to city.

First, a baseline price for the city is determined, based on the ratio of (factories + shops) to total buildings in the city. Then the average number of hours billed per service is calculated, and the price of each service is based on its deviation from that average.

In computing the baseline city price, factories and shops are worth 70-90 points, while offices are worth 90-110 points.

When comparing factory/shop points and office points, a percentage is calculated, and every percent results in a 10 iKr change to service prices. If there are more factory/shop points, service prices rise, and if there are more office points, they fall.

After this calculation, every service price can be changed between +/- 25% depending on how many hours of each service has been charged.

The more heavily a service is billed one day, the lower its price will be the next. Conversely, the less that service is billed, the higher its price will go. Top prices go to those services which were not billed at all the previous day.

The example below illustrates how the service pricing system functions.

Last 24-hour period the following was charged: 60 hours of Web design, 70 hours of advertising, 90 hours of Blood sampling, and 60 hours of Dressing.
In total, there is 4 different offices in the game, meaning there is 4 different service types.
How many points are the factories and shops worth in Helsingborg?
One factory or shop is worth 70-90 points, and in this case, we calculate using 80 points per factory or shop.
170 factories x 80 points + 60 shops x 80 points = 13600 points + 4800 points = 18400 points
How many points are the offices worth in Helsingborg?
Each office is worth 90-110. In this case, we calculate using 90 points per office.
90 offices x 90 points = 8100 points
What is the service price calculation percentage?
18400 factory and shop points / (18400 factory and shop points + 8100 office points) = 69%
What then will the base price of services be?
69 x 10 iKr = 690 iKr/hour
How much will the prices change depending on how many hours of each service has been charged?
0.25 x 690 = 173 iKr
How many hours will be charged?
60 hours + 70 hours + 90 hours + 60 hours = 280 hours
What will the average amount of hours charged be?
280 hours / 4 offices = 70 hours
What will the price of Web design be?
(70 - 60) / 70 = 0.142 x 173 = 25 + 690 = 715 iKr
What will the price of Advertising be?
(70 - 70) / 70 = 0 x 173 = 0 + 690 = 690 iKr
What will the price of Blood sampling be?
(70 - 90) / 70 = -0.285 x 173 = -49 + 690 = 641 iKr
What will the price of Dressing be?
(70 - 60) / 70 = 0.142 x 173 = 25 + 690 = 715 iKr

Investing or expanding

The difference is that when you buy zones you lose Net worth because you lose money. But when you invest you don't lose net worth.
So, if you only want increased Net worth then the best is to invest, but on the other hand, upgrading the warehouse and buying zones can be useful later.
It's up to you!

Fusion Guide

## What is a fusion?

A fusion is a group of companies. Their goal is to get a higher average CV than the other fusions in the game.

There are a maximum of 40 fusions.

## Terms:

### Fusion leader (FL)

* The boss. Makes all the decisions, with help from the other fusion members of course.

All the members decide who is going to be FL by voting.

The FL can:

* Join auctions, the players vote about joining for real.
* Make bids when the auction has started.
* Change the shout box.
* Change the fusion name.

### Fusion dog (FD)

* The company that gets traded away if we buy another company. All the members decide who is going to be FD by voting. It's recommended to vote on the company with lowest net worth for FD.

(However since the fusion dog can not be entered into an auction by the system some fusions will use this FD status to protect a vulnerable company)

### Auctions

* Fusions buy companies from other fusions on auctions. Companies are randomly placed on auction except the FL and FD. Auctions that your fusion are involved in are marked with blue text.

### Total net worth

* The net worth of all the companies in the fusion added together.

### Fusion worth

* The total net worth, divided with the total number of companies in the fusion.

### Fusion rank (F-rank)

* The F-rank is based on the Fusion worth and can be seen under My company --> Fusions in the left menu.

### Savings

* The fusion gets money from the members. But the members don't lose money by being in a fusion.

The fusion gets 1 iKr for:

* every unit produced
* every unit sold in shops
* every 20 iKr invested.

### Shout box

* The text box on the front page, where the FL writes.

## What should I do?

1. Read the shout box for updates and follow the directions given.
2. Check your Fusion Leader vote.
3. Check your Fusion Dog vote.
4. Check the auctions page. If any auction is marked with blue text it means that your fusion is in it. Clicking on the auction allows you to vote on whether or not you want your fusion to join.
5. Read, write, be active in the forum.
6. Repeat from nr. 1 every time you log in and see if something has changed.

*View the complete list of all US Updates or Sweden Updates*

* Auto mechanic jobs will now be created much more frequently.
* Goods pricing. Price changes will now be based on standard

deviation, rather than the old tiers of 0-33%, 33-67%, 67%-99%,
101%-133%, 134%+. The result of this change is that prices will be
more volatile, especially later in the round, and players will need to
react by shifting to different factories.

* Each service job will now have a maximum price that the buyer is

willing to pay. This means that if your office is not receiving jobs,
you may be able to lower the service price for that office to get
assignments at a lower price point. The maximum hourly price for each
job will be a random value between 200 and 1500. This means setting
your office to the maximum of 1500 is no longer a good strategy, even
if there are no other offices of the same type.

* Facebook fix: We have made a change to how TO integrates with

Facebook, and we expect this change will eliminate or vastly reduce
the occasional slowness issues we experienced last round.

* Facebook gifts: Gifts sent last round (or during the break this

round) will not be valid once the new round starts. This is to prevent
hoarding of gifts to get a fast start to the round.

Efficiency

In Tycoon Online, efficiency refers to the minimum productivity level of a building. For example, a building with 50% efficiency and a base production level of 40 will generate between 20 and 40 production points each 10 minutes. The exact value is determined by generating a random number within the given range.

Each type of building has a standard base efficiency. As buildings get older, their efficiency drops due to building deterioration. Some buildings offer a 20% boost in base efficiency as an upgrade option.
Higher share price

Share price is pretty meaningless to your own company after you have sold your shares, I wouldn't worry too much about it too much.

After the first week, c-rank position changes play a huge role in your share price. Companies which are improving their ranking will end up with a much better share price than a company who starts near the top and loses rank positions throughout the round.

There are a few things you can do if you want a higher share price, these involve trying to control your c-rank changes - especially helpful for share price when you are near the top of the c-rank.

For instance you could play the beginning of the round very slow to start off in a lower position, then after the first week gradually climb the c-ranking. This makes it easier to increase your c-rank position while avoiding losing rank position.

You could try to avoid improving your c-rank position by more than 25% in 1 day as anything above 25% is a waste if you are concerned with share price. For instance, going from rank 8 to rank 4 is a 50% increase but your share price increase for that move is limited to 25%. So for a higher share price you could try to move up to only rank 6 the first day (25% increase), then rank 5 the next day (16% increase), and finally rank 4 (20% increase).

When your c-ranking must drop, especially when you are near the top of the ranking, you might try to drop as far as you can in 1 day instead of spreading it out over multiple days. If your ranking falls by more than 25%, that part of the share price calculation is limited to 25% and you will have a smaller drop in share price than if you fall down the rankings slowly over a number of days.

One way to avoid improving your c-rank by too much at once is to spend money on things that do not increase your cv and also cause your cv to decrease when spending the money, like the salary account, fuel account, or buying goods that you will eventually need. These will reduce cv by 1 for each 20 that you spend, and push the cv increase into the future.

**Astrid** is a small tank engine who often works around the yards near the station, and sometimes even serves as station pilot at the same station.

## Personality

Astrid may be one of the smaller shunters in the yard, but she can be quite feisty and doesn’t tolerate it when bigger engines insult her or any of the other small engines about their size and think they can get away Scott free. Despite her attitude, she can be a hard worker, always doing the best she can to be a really useful engine.

## Basis

Astrid is based on an SR USA Class 0-6-0T. Originally classified as the USATC S100 Class and designed for shunting duties in Europe during the Second World War, after the war ended, fifteen of these engines were sold to the Southern Railway where they were used as dockyard shunters at Southampton. There, they worked alongside the LB&SCR E2s (Thomas' class). Both classes were replaced by BR Class 07 diesels (Salty's class) in 1962, though members of the class remained in service on departmental duties until 1966.

Four members of this class are preserved, one at the Bluebell Railway. Two S100s have also been bought from the former Yugoslavia and modified to USA condition.

Rosie, Courtney, Stacy, Gertie, Silvermist, Rita, and Nicole are other members of this class.

She was originally going to be based on a Fowler 3F "Jinty" tank engine, like Jinty and Justin

BasisOriginal basis
## Livery

She is painted rose pink with green stripes, and a green square on the side of her tanks with the number "80" painted in the middle. She also has a green colored headlamp mounted on top of her smokebox.

## Trivia

* She was originally a miscellaneous tank engine modeled by Sodor P. After Sodor P's international ban, Astid's model got reskinned from TTN1GWR's Rosie model that was made into a BR Rosie model (modified by DA user Peter-the-Gamer1992).

Cheyenne

**Cheyenne** is an American tender engine who mainly does mixed traffic runs along the main line. Virginia is her sister.

## Personality

Cheyenne has always been known to be cheeky and mischievous, which the other engines find very odd for a tender engine. The furthest she has gone when being cheeky and/or mischievous is teasing an engine either about their predicament or their lack of experience doing a specific task (which sometimes comes around and bites her in the rear coupling in the end).

When she lived on the mainland before coming to Transportainia, she thought Virginia was silly for going off without a crew and being careless, while at the same time boasting that such a thing could never happen to her. She even laughed when she heard about what happened to James after he called Edward "Old Iron" many years ago, boasting that she is a "proper engine", once again bragging that she'd never end up in the same situation as either James or Virginia.

However, she did end up in the same situation as the two engines after some kids (on a school trip) played with her controls when she was having a rest in the yard. Luckily, Virginia was able to save Cheyenne from a nasty accident.

While she does take better care while out on the rails, she's still quite the cheeky sort of tender engine.

## Basis

Cheyenne is based on a Southern Pacific A3 4-4-2 locomotive. Virginia shares the same basis.

Basis

## Trivia

* Cheyenne was created from Virginia's Choo-Choo model made by Sean Corbett.

Burger

**Burger**is a strong, but not very bright Beagle Boy.

## BIO

As his name suggests, Burger has a large appetite, although it is for more than just hamburgers. He also isn't very bright. Incidentally, is known for a special appreciation for prunes and his curious culinary tastes (i.e. ketchup on ice cream or peanut butter pizza with gravy). The not-too-bright Burger is named for his habit of talking about food, regardless of whether or not any of the others are actually talking about it themselves. He is also prone to random hunger tantrums. Due to his appetite, he has even taken a bite out of his license plate.

## Personality

He may have some muscles, but he lacks less brains than Bouncer. But, what he lacks in brains, he makes up for with his appetite.

Bluster

**Bluster Kong** is the owner of the Bluster's Barrelworks Co. located on the northern side of Anderson City Central. He used to be the stationmaster here until everyone couldn't take his behavior anymore.

## Personality

Conceited, pompous, vain, and narcissistic, Bluster is motivated by his lust for Candy and his pride. He regularly tries to demean and belittle Donkey Kong. Bluster acts regal, but when the odds are stacked against him, he snaps like a twig and will resort to begging and even aid his aggressors, such as the evil King K. Rool. However, he does show a kind side, yet his efforts at heroism usually end up causing more harm than good.

Under special circumstances, Bluster has proven to be caring, helpful and a competent hero, and he has even shown empathy for characters aside from Candy. When he isn't sparing against Donkey Kong for Candy's affections, Bluster has been known to set aside past feuds with Donkey Kong, enabling the two to work together harmoniously and be friendly with one another. Donkey Kong also sees Bluster's greater potential.

Abu

**Abu** is a mischievous, kleptomaniacal monkey and Aladdin's loyal partner-in-crime.

## Personality

Unlike Aladdin, who steals to survive, Abu is a talented kleptomaniac, with unshakable urges to steal whatever catches his interests, be it riches, food, or anything else. This can land him into quite a bit of trouble and appears to even frustrate Aladdin from time to time. Abu can also be quite greedy and selfish in this regard, as he constantly takes more than he needs. Nevertheless, the monkey has redeemable qualities and, at his core, has a soft heart.
