開設工廠三大原則
1. 挑對產品: 有廣大市場為基礎的產品，才不會滯銷。
2. 選對地點: 勞工是否充足？勞工薪資市場是否合理？匯率是否正常？是否有生產加成？
3. 充足資金: 如果滯銷時，員工薪資付的出去嗎？是否有準備應急金？
以上三個開廠原則，
在開設工廠前，如果你都有考慮到，那麼已經成功一半了，有了個好的開始。
究竟該開什麼工廠才好？
這是個大家最常見的問題，讓我們從遊戲中各種「產品的需求」來討論，比較合適。
因為需求量越大，表示它的「市場越大、接受度越高」，也越容易販賣出去。
而開設工廠，最重要的就是這個「價值鏈」的轉換過程。
( 購買 ) 原料 --> ( 雇員 ) 加工 --> ( 販賣 ) 成品
以下依個人看法，簡單列出各產品的需求次序：
武器 ( 鐵塊 ) : Q1 >>> Q5 >>> 其它
食物 ( 小麥 ) : Q5 >>> Q3 ( 激勵需求 ) >>> 其它
禮物 ( 鑽石 ) : Q5 >>> Q3 ( 激勵需求 ) >>> 其它
機票 ( 石油 ) : Q1 >>> Q5 >>> 其它
房屋 ( 木材 ) : Q5 >>> 其它
地產 ( 石材 ) : Q5 >>> 其它
防禦 ( 石材 ) : Q2 = Q3 ( 請參考
醫院 ( 石材 ) : 無市場 ( 請參考
前四項產品及其原料，販售對象針對大眾市場，較易出清，
而後四項產品及其原料，販售對象則多為有錢人、軍團和國家，較難出清產品。
因此，對於有意願開廠的新手老闆們，
建議先以前四項工廠 (武器、食物、禮物、機票、及其相關原料 ) 為開設目標，
並參考產品的市場需求大小，來評估升級工廠，才不會因貨物滯銷，而造成經營困難的情況。
後四者的工廠老闆，多為軍團或是大企業主，
才能有足夠的前期資金能投入 ( 此類工廠多只有高等級，才有營運利潤 ) ，
以及維持工廠運轉 ( 通常此類產品生產週期較長 ) ，和負擔滯銷時的靜止成本。
工廠開在什麼地點才好呢？
工廠地點的考慮有許多要點，有些問題容易克服，有些則較難解決，
因此在下面，我們只就主要常見的幾點來討論，供新手老闆們在建廠時參考。
生產力因素：
決定員工及工廠的產量的關鍵性因素，也決定該工廠是否具有國際競爭力。 ( 可參考維基 相關資料 )
1. 加工工廠：該工廠所在國家，是否有對應高產量原料地區。 ( 例：在台的槍工廠，則看台灣是否有高鐵資源 )
2. 原料工廠：該工廠所在地區，是否為高產量地區。 ( 例：在台的鐵工廠，是否建在澎湖這塊高鐵地區 )
因此對於工廠而言 ( 特別是加工工廠，更要注意 ) ，
它們的所在國家，對於境內資源地的控制程度是否穩定，就成為考量的一個因素。
例如，如果韓國佔領澎湖 ( 高鐵資源地 ) ，則位於台灣台北的槍工廠，生產力將會因此下降。
因此如果擔心，建議加工類的工廠，可以「直接蓋在該高資源地」上，則無論佔領國為誰，生產力不易受到影響。
這也是為什麼各類加工廠，常常會集中在某些遊戲內地區的因素 ( 如遊戲內澎湖，各種武器工廠林立就是這個原因 ) 。
政經穩定因素：
決定工廠的生產成本，以及成本是否穩定的因素。
經營工廠需要一批穩定的勞工，並且每日要發出薪資，這些是生產 / 加工的「成本」。
如果該國「勞工人口過少、勞工薪資高漲、外匯波動嚴重、或無法穩定換匯」，都會影響你的工廠經營。
現在簡單說明一下，這些因素可採何方法解決，供各位朋友們參考。
1. 勞工人口過少：
若在當地難以招工 ( 特別是公民少的國家 ) ，則建議自行召募勞工前往。
2. 勞工薪資高漲：
部份工廠飽和度高的國家，則勞工薪資水準偏高，請先評估低等級工廠是否有利潤。
3. 外匯波動嚴重、無法穩定換匯：
當外匯不穩時，則不容易透過外匯市場換匯取得黃金 ，甚至有可能換不到足夠的貨幣，來發放員工薪資。
如果有此現象，可以用黑工的形式 ( 領1元當地貨幣工作，但實際上，每日以黃金替代薪資 ) 給員工支薪。
該準備多少資金才好呢？
新手老闆們，最容易發生的問題是，準備的緊急預備資金不足。
當產品在市場滯銷、或是成本波動時，就會感到壓力很大，或是週轉困難。
這邊簡單提醒一下新手老闆們，
需要準備多少資金，才比較能從容面對問題呢？
1. 至少約 1~2 天的員工薪資 ( 避免如果換匯困難 )
2. 至少預留 1 天的原料採購資金 ( 特別是加工類工廠 )
3. 考慮產品滯銷的情況下，能夠負擔靜止成本多久 ( 若難賣，能負擔那些生產成本幾天 )
當這些點都有考慮到，那麼經營起來能更從容。
但如果，真的在經營的過程中有資金運轉上的困難，建議可以找人短期借貸，渡過難關。
做生意其實沒什麼，商人就是這個樣子，
但請別忘了，「當初為什麼要做生意？」的初衷，這才是最重要的事。
最後，祝各位老闆們經營順利。

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
