GearCity questions

[peter]

After I played some weeks, I have some questions about the game:

- Is there an easy way to find out which car type are produced in which factory?
I have often the case that one car type is not fully sold. Therefore I want to find the factory(s) with unsold cars, e.g. to reduce the producing line(s) for this car type.
Actually I have to click on all of my factories to find this.
I have now 12 factories for 38 car type. This will increase in the next years.

- Is there an easy way to check which prices my cars had last month?
There is a list which show how much cars are sold this month. And you can show the numbers of last month.
On another list the actual prices are listed.
But if in this month less cars are sold, I like to see the former price, because this may be the reason.

- How can I rename cars?
I found only how to rename the components (motor...).
As I produce really a lot of car types I like to do some renames for helping me to easily identify them.

Greetings,

If by "car type" you mean car models, then you can use the report system. The report that is probably the most helpful for this is the Operations > Factory report: https://wiki.gearcity.info/doku.php?id=g...es#factory

The reports system are web pages, so anything underlined is a hyper link. If you see a factory with inventory (#4 in the picture), click on the name of the city (#2 in the picture) and it will pull up the info for that city, including what you are over producing.

Generally when you get this large, you should be using the district system or auto production to save yourself a lot of work.

Prices as in sales prices? The "City Sales" report (and selecting a city from this report) will list revenues, but not specific sales price. (You can always do the math to get the sales price by dividing revenue by sales). https://wiki.gearcity.info/doku.php?id=g...city_sales

There is a list which show how much cars are sold this month. And you can show the numbers of last month.

The monthly report? City sales report, vehicle sales report, district sales report, etc all have this information.

On another list the actual prices are listed.

I don't believe any of the reports list the sales price per branch. The "Total Delivery Cost" report does have an average sales price for all locations: https://wiki.gearcity.info/doku.php?id=g...ivery_cost


As for finding previous months' data, at the bottom of most reports is a link that says "< Previous Month" click that link to open the previous month's report. If you want to go back to a future report, use the report browser tools like a web browser (because it is a web browser). In other words, the "Back button" will take you to the previous page you were on.

This is not a feature in base GearCity. It can be done in the free GearCity: 2nd Gear DLC, but that is currently not released outside of the Feature Bounty System.

Many thanks for the informations!
I don’t know the hyper link feature so far. This is really useful.

PS: I don’t use the game with English language. It seems I made translations errors, sorry.
