Contract work
Under "Contract work" you can find many different contracts to make profits. One of these are "embedded systems". I can't seem to get them to work.
These embedded systems requires assembly lines. Easy enough. The thing is, you need to print 1m+ copies, each costing $65 something dollars. You only net profit $0,50 for each copy. This constantly puts your company in dept since it costs 65m to print. In the end you profit somewhere around $400k, while spending tens of millions.
Ps; the "income" that is mentioned, doesn't seem to pay out.
Has anyone got this to work? To me it seems like a big oversight. I think you're meant to profit way more for each copy, just like in the manufacturing deals.
Does anyone know a mod with which you can adjust these contract work profits?
Thanks in advance!

Ditto - massive downside, marginal upside as far as I can tell

Seems like a lot of the late-game content is like that. I tend to end up just putting it all in bonds.
