Companies Tutorial
Last Updated on Thursday, 17 December 2009 19:26
Thanks to Biohazard [96865] for this great tutorial!
You gain access to companies at level 3
Introduction to Companies:
Keep in mind that each company is different. Companies of Torn City work just like real life companies. So the goal is obviously to make money.
Also, remember that changes you make will not be seen until the new day, as well as popularity changes and income gains.
For Information on specific Companies, Their Specials, Advertising and Upgrade costs, and more, visit the Company Info page.
You can also find the TC Company Summary spreadsheet with extra Company Stats, Graphs and Analysis in Tools & Calculators.
For information on Employee Effectiveness, view the FAQ of the same name.
Buying a Company
Opening a company is a risky move. If you aren't really active... it's a bad idea.
When you open a business, you are the director. You have no working position. The director is ideal for those with extremely high work stats. You have full access to all of the pages, and if your company uses stock items to work, you're going to have to manage the storage of your business. You can do this through the 'Shipments' page. Deliveries can take some time, so make sure you don't run out. Some companies (eg pubs, restaurants, night club) don't use shipments. You also have the power to hire/fire employees and change their position/salary for that day. The higher you pay, the happier your employees will be. But you have to be able to pay them for at least 7 days with what you have in the company bank. You can set the pricing of your services as well, higher prices meaning more money for you, but less popularity.
Hiring Employees & Setting Positions
Who you hire is key. The better their stats, the better they will work. Anything over the cap is only worth 50% of it's normal value.. and anything above double the requirement no longer effects the company.
See Below Example.
| Code: Stat Cap: 1,000 & Primary Stat: Endurance/Secondary:Manual Player One - 500 Endurance & 1000 Manual (Manual will be cut in half, cuz it is secondary) They will work for 100% Player Two - 1000 Endurance & 1000 Manual (Manual again will be cut in half, cuz it is secondary) They will work for 125%, 1000 endurance being the cap and manual being 50% over the total... after being split in half. |
HAVING DOUBLE THE REQUIRED STATS DOES NOT MEAN YOU DON'T CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMPANY. YOU WILL BE CONTRIBUTING 150%!
Any further stats you gain, will not increase or decrease this amount.
One complicated thing is how the stats for the stat cap are determined. So:
-- >Primary Stat + 1/2 Secondary Stat = Job Stats Total <--
If you're still not clear on how much your stats are worth in your company, CHRISMCV has made this handy Excel sheet to calculate it for you: http://putstuff.putfile.com/54161/4921235
Advertising
This raises your popularity. Your default (starting) popularity is as follows... "100*(1 / Number_Of_Clubs) %", for example. 36 Strip Clubs, 100/36 = 2.7%...
Please note that you may not see your popularity rise straight away, for instance if all of your competitors do the same advertising campaigns as you, it will not increase anyones popularity...
Training
You can train your employees for 10k per training session, through which they will gain some primary work stats.
You can't train anyone who has been in your company for less than three days.
Training your employees raises your efficiency.
Company Specials
Each job has two company specials as well, which you gain access to as you increase in rank.
Check the Company Info page for known specials.
FAQ
What does then Train Link do for employees?
Train Link allows the director to boost employees stats a little bit.
I did an advertising campaign; hired employees, but still have zero customers. Is there a way of earning money?
You will have to wait until the daily report is issued to see your gains. Also, make sure you have shipments of the things you need to be able to run your business.
Are company profits based on 'real' customers?
All results are computer generated.
How do I increase my popularity?
Lower prices and more money spent on campaigns will increase your popularity, and vice versa.
Why is my Efficiency dropping everyday? How do i stop it and make it go back up?
You probably need t upgrade your staff room. The more employees the larger a staff room you need, or efficiency will drop. Note: If environment is at 100%, there will be another factor causing this.

With the formula this might help people understand it abit better cause before you could take it as deviding your total job stats before checking to see if they are over double the stat cap.
H = Primary Stat (0.5*Secondary Stat), IF H > (2 * Stat Cap) then, H = (Stat Cap * 150) / 100 ELSE, IF H > Stat Cap then, H = ((H - stat cap) / 2) stat cap.
Also if you want I have Excel Spread sheets.
My Job Stat Calculator - http://putstuff.putfile.com/54161/4921235 - Or if that one doesn't open in your excel yours is probably out of date, try this exported version - http://putstuff.putfile.com/54168/2462686 - Click the "next page" link three times then download it. - Just input your Primary Stat, Secondary Stat and your Stat Cap and it will tell you how much your stats make up in the total stats column and to the left of that how much of these stats effect the company you're in. - P.S. This requires Microsoft Excel.
I'll do up a html one sometime soon if too many people don't have Excel.
Other then that if you have any questions at all don't hesitate to mail me.

@ Su, that all depends on how much cash you're willing to spend and if you're active enough to run one of the lesser ones, I found the higher the price, you don't have to do as much e.g. ordering in new shipments.
But I spent $300,000,000 to get my cruise line agency.

everybody keeps saying that there efficency is dropping well me and my freind have discovered that if my company is pulling in 10 k profit a day and i pay 5 staff members 2k each that will equal 10k pay out a day which means slowly ur efficiency will go down but if i woz to pay my staff say 500 - 1000 a day then my efficiency will stay at roughly in the 90's and everything would b fine........... there are alot of people with companies who are paying more out on wages than the company is earning and thats why there failing

I am afraid that is totally wrong. The company i am in, has 0 effiency and the wages are give out is about 60% of the profit. Other Companies I know of are in a similar situation and give out different amounts of money. It is as said in the tutorial; based on the staff room size versus number of employees. Money has nothing to do with it what so ever.

I can also confirm that what Master Nemesis said above is wrong. We tried lowering the wages and efficiency has not increased.

I can also vouch the the info from Nemisis is wrong. My company had 5 employees whose wages were 50% of the profit. We had the largest staff room possible and still the efficiency stayed at 0% for over a month. I tried adjusting wages, changing peoples positions, hiring a couple of better people with high stats and nothing worked.

Due to alot of people E-Mailing/Mailing me I decided to slightly redo my excel spreadsheet and host it at fileplanet.
The most up-to-date file is hosted here:
http://www.fileplanet.com/180446/180000/fileinfo/
If you have tried opening the above file and and Excel cannot perhaps try this download instead, it is a resave of my Job Stat Calculator for those with an older version of excel.
Universal Job Stat Calculator?:
http://www.fileplanet.com/180447/180000/fileinfo/
Unless I re-educate myself again on trying to figure out how to do a html calculator I'll just take the easy way out of it and make an executable Job Stat Calculator.
Hopefully I will commence work over the next day or so and have it done shortly.
I was going to just make a standalone calculator but it's a pain have to flick back and forth and work out each employee's efficiency.
So I was going to add a webbrowser into it to, more then likely I won't be adding a url bar cause I can't be bothered adding any protection against html exploits in websites so basically the default loading page will be www.torncity.com and as long as torncity stays a safe website without and html exploits (Why the hell would Ched wanna exploit in the first place?) then everything will be fine for that.
I was also asked to add some more spaces so you can do all your employees at the one page, if I can remember my programming then I might even get the job stat calculator/browser to pull all your employee's stats from the manage page and plop their details in for you.
If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to contact me.

I have a floral shop. Yes, inactive employees hurt your company. As long as they log into torn city 1 time a day, it helps. Also, I always have 100% efficiency unless my advertising campaign has ended...and then it drops like a lead balloon. Hope this helps.

Oh, in addition....If you are having a hard time getting sales/customers....check your prices. If you are marking your prices up say 600%, your going to have issues with only getting a few customers a day. If you only mark your prices up 2.5 times the price you pay for stock, you'll see a significant increase in customers. I pay $4.00 per rose, and I charge $9.00. My company just recently went to 2/5, and it's only around 42 days old. Also, make sure you train your employees. I keep a list of my employees in the order of them joining the company. I start with the first employee and work my way down to the newest, then start over. You have to have more salespeople/dancers/florists/etc (depends on what your company is, the main employee type) than any other type. I have 2 cleaners, and the rest are florists (I have 14 employees including myself). If anyone needs any help, feel free to message me...my username is the same on TC. :-)

Can i be director of my company and employee in another one?
TCB: We haven't tested this ourselves, but seeing as each position (director & Employee) counts as a 'job', you wont be able to have two.

What does the director get, as far as working stats go?
Also, can you own a company and leave it empty to go to another job without it being deleted?

My sports company is now for 331 day old (rating 3/5) and average 100% Efficiency when my staff log on daily.. i sack them if they have been off for more than a week. I get 3 trainings a days and i use that on the lower level players.
The only thing is i cannot get my popularity above 3% unless i run a cheap campaine.. then it goes to 4%.. there are only about 40 other sports companies, so i am not sure what to try next to get this popularity level up higher.. any suggestions..

I been quiet for a long long time. and i will now help you out. As you can see i was one of the first companies to turn 5/5 and the secret is easy.
- Dont spent cash on ad's waste of cash.
- Hire active players. the more they log on per day the better. What good is having a worker who doesnt come to work? This will keep your Eff % high.
- Train your weakest link. You want as many players as you can over the stat cap.
- Get the largest staff room you can afford.
- Put most of your workers in teh positions that make cash. Who cares about bouncers? not like your gonna get sued!!!
- Popularity so far in my eyes is a junk stat. it is 100 divided by all the same companies in that field. who cares? it has no effect on your daily profits.
- Spend money on your company. i put in my strip club close to 110 million dollars. it is now 354 days old and been 5/5 for over 100 days. i make about 350k a day. paying my workers 150k and training is 50k. making me 150k a day. doing the math that would mean i need about 2 years to break even just from that. BUT. the 5/5 bonus is high heels, which i make a pair every 100 days and that earns me 15 mill each time selling em. so look at what your bonuses are and use those job points!!!!
