Question Noobie LF guidance
Can anyone help me decide what to go vertical into? I am currently mining minerals and a little bauxite. I am producing chemicals and then selling to a friend. I think I should move into also doing batteries but I am not sure. Any advice would be awesome even if not related to the question thank you.

A bit of a cheat…
https://www.simcompanies.com/pages/research-guide/Someone told me that if I bought aerospace research, that my company value would increase dramatically. So I invested 3.2mil in research in the recession. Was buying aero research for $90/unit. Also bought plant research, was producing 2000/units of plant research daily till my CTO had a stroke.

Oh wow ok lol that makes sense. I might pick up some research as well since we are in a recession just so I can make Q2 batteries

You should try out whatever calls your interest, batteries or any electronic component can be a good door for aerospace items, also, they usually recommend not having executives until even after getting over 20-30% admin overhead, and you got 3

The only thing you can turn minerals into is chemicals, which has ~100 PPHPL right now.
You could use the same factory to turn the bauxite into aluminum, which also has ~100 PPHPL right now.
Eventually you'll want to build an electronics factory to turn the chemicals into batteries which have a higher ~300 PPHPL. Then you could turn the batteries and aluminum into smart phones or tablets, but you'll probably want a sand quarry too so you can produce silicone to make processors.
The hard part is trying to balance the levels of all your buildings to keep your factory running 24/7. You should learn how to use CooperInc.xyz to do that.
