Q. Is storage capacity in Idle-Corp?
 
 
A: Your company exists without a start command. Common commands are <code>$$help</code>, <code>$$tutorial</code>, <code>$$faclist</code>, <code>$$f</code>, <code>$$a</code>, <code>$$val</code>, and <code>$$c</code>. Newly added <code>$$wiki</code> command is awesome!
 
 
 
=== Q: I still have questions, what should I do? ===
 
 
 
A: Go to <b style="color:blue">#help</b> in discord HQ and ping <b style="color:green">@helper</b> with your question.
 
 
 
=== Q: I’m new, can I get advice on what facility I should focus on now? ===
 
 
 
A: Your goal is to generate assets to sell for cash.
 
 
 
There are multiple ways to get started:
 
Opt 1: As shown in the tutorial you can use [[Tree farm]]s and move into [[Furniture factory|Furniture factories]] to produce [[Wood]] and furniture to sell the assets for cash. Remember to keep a total of 250 furniture, however.
 
 
 
Opt 2: Building [[oil well]]s and then Plastic factories to manufacture [[Plastic]] and sell it for cash.
 
 
 
Opt 3: Building [[Coal mine]]s and later replacing them silicon and [[Gold mine]]s to eventually start producing [[Laptop]]s.
 
 
 
Opt 4: Build all the facilities shown on the facility list with the order
 
 
 
Opt 5: Follow your feelings and find your gameplay style
 
 
 
For options 2 and 3, you also need 1-5 [[Furniture factory|Furniture factories]]

=== Q. Can I give money to my friends? ===
+
Q. Can I give money to my friends?
 
 
A. The bot does have a $$give command to give any asset, but both of the players must have a Logistics center in the same region, and the person using the command must have one of the premium subscriptions.
 
 
 
Without a premium subscription, the player market can be used if both players have a logistics center. This is done by selling (an) asset(s) to the player that's giving the money.
 
 
 
Advanced Woodworking Technology is also commonly used as a "trading token" due to a lack of interest in the market. This makes it easier to trade without accidentally selling to/buying from the wrong person.
 
 
 
=== Q. What is net worth? ===
 
 
 
A. Your net worth is a total of everything your Corp owns. Land, factories, assets, developed tech, and money affects your net worth. Here is some info about the formula.
 
Land value at 40% buying price (The discounts from reincorporation tokens are considered too, so if you have land that would normally sell for $600 that has a -80% discount, it is calculated as $120)
 
 
 
Factory value at 40% buying price (in terms of the total capital required to build, using capital required+ NPC market price for assets).
 
 
 
Asset value at NPC market price.
 
 
 
Developed Tech at a value of all materials needed to develop it.
 
 
 
Money at your current cash level.
 
 
 
=== Q. What does a logistics center do? ===
 
 
 
A. It allows access to the player market and multiples your hourly buy limit in the NPC market.(more info [[logistics center]])
 
 
 
=== Q. Is Jet fuel the same as rocket fuel? ===
 
 
 
A. No, two different assets. Rocket fuel is not usable currently, we believe it will work in future updates.
 
 
 
=== Q. What is a gratitude point, and what are they used for? ===
 
 
 
A. Gratitude points are earned by voting for the Idle-Corp bot, using <code>$$vote</code>. The gratitude points can be spent to change your company name and motto or to instantly finish a research project.
 
  
=== Q. How do I sell land or move to another server? ===

A. The bot does not have a command to gift money, but the player market can be used if both players have a logistics center.

Q: I’m new, do you have any advice on what facility should I focus on now?
Vote for yourself using <code>$$voteballot <b style="color:#677ebe">@YourName</b></code>.
 
  
If you get an error while voting, you probably need voters boon. Use <code>$$vote</code> and vote for the bot to get it. Then try and vote again.  
+
A: So for your first facility, you will use wood farm as shown in the tutorial, then use iron mine, when you have gathered enough money, you can try to manufacture plastic by oil wells and plastic factories, when you have at least 50M, you can try to do laptops.
  
Now you need to wait for the election to end. Use <code>$$ballot</code> to see when it ends. Once the ballot closes and you get elected, you can change the policies.

=== Q. How to play contents of Galactic Expedition? ===
+
Q. How do I cancel a player market offer?
  
A. Currently, there is no guide that can guide you for this. But first thing you need to do is constructing rocket launch pad, in order to construct space station. They need many end products, like scraps, space station parts and rocket fuel. You need to produce space station parts and rocket fuel for further expedition, also for construction. You can buy them in the player market too, but there is only few players would sell them since they are hard to produce. Good luck!
+
A. Use the command $$offers. It will show your current offers and which slot number they are in 1, 2, or 3. Then use $$canceloffer (1, 2,or 3)
