I want to like this game but it's far too buggy to be allowed.

Workers frequently freeze up and stand shock still doing nothing.

The "Auto Throttle" option, designed to skip the boring parts, actually breaks the sync completely and makes it ignore the speed control and run at breakneck speed.

Then raw materials stopped coming in. I tried everything I could think of, firing and hiring new purchasing agents and purchasing managers and changing the options in the product information screen, and trying to no avail to diagnose the saved game format in a hex editor, but they absolutely wouldn't order anything, so production stopped. I resorted to using the "emergency purchase" feature on the product information screen, which unfortunately costs more, but, wondering why it didn't seem to be costing me anything at all, I analysed the bank statement and found I'd never been charged anything for any raw materials.

Then I ordered $600,000 of raw gold and didn't get charged a cent. It totally ruined any reason left for playing the game. I could simply order products for free then sell them. Great concept, too few different character images, and full of bugs.

Everytime I make the manager do paperwork, he doesn't stop doing it.

Ahh, but is the help in "help" really help, or just the illusion of help, Grasshopper*.

Like many games, we didn't have the budget to completely fix, balance or polish it, but it still has some charm. I'm hoping that in the next year I'll have a chance to make a modern version of it using a 3D engine. In the mean time, just find an exploit and have fun!

Look into the machine-menu. Sometimes the operators don't have trouble loading the machine but unloading the parts afterwards. You could put a conveyor belt and a storage cube behind it.
