My company keeps getting these over and over, it's all I seem to get. I got two today.

The problem is it wants an unrealistically big R&D. 338, which would come to 33.8 million worth since my industry's R&D cost 1 mil, over half of my net worth when I started getting them. If I actually built R&Ds that big I would go bankrupt on the maintenance and salaries. My largest R&D in that company right now is only 30.

Maybe the R&D quest should call for a bit smaller building? Calling for such a large building that it'd drive me bankrupt is a bit silly.

+1 Quest system overhaul is on the TODO list and hopefully it will get some love soon. I'd like to see it quit asking me for crap that I can't/don't produce or to expand to ridiculously large R&D buildings.

Also, paying 3x base is a little ridiculous for some products. It should be a multiplier depending on how far from electricity/water the good is. I loved it when I got the quest to supply like a billion water on the beta server and it'd pay me $0.30 a unit but I'd rather have it be based on the factories I currently have.

While I'm inclined to agree with the not questing for items that the company doesn't produce - I have, on occasion, made a slight profit importing/buying items to satisfy those requirements.

It could, if engineered, create/destroy stability in a market by issuing a whole bunch of quests for the same thing, at high return. Think the water/power/mcguffin market is too flooded? Here's 100 quests asking for a whole bunch of em!

Heh, I have 5 "Expand R&D" quests in my list now. Getting rather silly. Now it wants a 510m2 R&D. Somehow I don't think investing 40% of my company's net worth into a single R&D building would be good for my profitability.

Cian - it's ok to ignore quests, god knows I've let some of those $5.8m ones slide because I could not produce those frigging wedding dresses and nobody actually sells them on the B2B... (now it wants suits. what does it want with suits!?)

once you build up a bit, 510m2 is not all that scary.

I don't see the issue to ignore some quests...
By the way, 510m2 is quite expensiv depending on which market you are aiming.
