=Sources of Debt= ==Fougamer== {| | width="50%" | When the Reveal Map option is enabled, instead of scanning the map to reveal resources, the entire map is displayed. Three very important figures are shown on this screen: debt amount, [[Stock#Share Price Calculation|stock price]], and [[Debt#Bond Rating|bond rating]]. As time ticks by, the starting debt for founding early goes down. This will eventually turn into ''starting money'' if it takes a long enough amount of time for the last 2 players to found. Once there is only one player left who hasn't founded their [[HQ]], the values stop changing and that player no longer gains from waiting to found. Inversely, as the debt amount goes down, the [[stock]] price a player starts with goes up. On standard difficulty (Manager), debt impacts [[Stock#Share price calculation|stock]] price 5 fold. Lastly, [[Debt#Bond Rating|bond rating]] is shown. This affects the interest payed on debt, think of debt as a loan. The more debt one has, the higher the interest rate; making it harder to pay off debt later on. In the example on the below(at the very start of a 4 player game), a freshly founded [[HQ]] is valued at $1,000K. So, subtracting debt from this initial value: $200K debt x 5 (the debt multiplier) = $1,000K, cancelling out the asset value gained just from founding an [[HQ]]. If you were to found at the very beginning of the game, each of your shares would be worth almost $0 (you are also given starting resources making the evaluation slightly higher than zero); however, the minimum price your shares can go is $1.00 each.[[File:Offworld starting debt.png|left|thumb|486x486px]]<br /> |} ==Auto-Purchasing Life Support, Fuel, and Power== {| | width="50%" | [[Life Support]], [[Fuel]], and [[Power]] are [[resources]] that are automatically purchased to sustain your [[HQ]]. These consist of: {{Resource icon|Water}} [[Water]], {{Resource icon|Food}} [[Food]], {{Resource icon|Oxygen}} [[Oxygen]], {{Resource icon|Fuel}} [[Fuel]] for the [[freighters]], and {{Resource icon|Power}} [[Power]] for your [[building]]s. The costs associated with purchasing these [[resources]] automatically adds to a player's debt total. As an [[HQ]] is leveled up, more [[resources]] are required to sustain it. A chart of these costs can be found here: [[Life Support]]. *There is also a gameplay setting which enables auto-supply on every [[building]]. The money for buying anything beyond the requirements above comes from your stockpile of cash; it is not purchased as debt. | width="5%" | | [[File:Offworld_life_support.png|400px]] |} =="Winning" Auctions== {| | width="50%" | One has to be careful to consider the added debt of winning an auction. If you pay too much for an auction item, then you may end up losing more value in stock price and debt payments than the item was worth. <br/> On the other hand, letting an opponent get an item too cheaply can give them an edge in the game. * Auctions occur at 12:00 every Sol * Consider the risk vs. reward in terms of [[stock]] price. If a player spends $40k in debt on a new claim, their [[Stock#Total Value|Total Value]] goes down $200k from the added debt. This results in a $2 drop in their [[Stock#Share Price Calcuation|share price]]. Meaning, it will cost at least $12,000 less cash from someone else to [[Stock#Buyout|Buyout]] that player. | width="5%" | | [[File:Offworld_Auction.png|400px]] |}
