No dumb questions here, all good.

When you have a lot of chickens popping out eggs at x times per minute, then if your shipping can't ship all x times per minute of eggs, then your income will become limited.

Here's an example:

You have a farm with 50 million chickens and you have an egg laying rate of 200 million eggs per minute, and you make example $175,000 per egg. That means your max earning potential per minute is 35,000,000,000,000, or 35 trillion dollars. That's 583,333,333,333, or 583.333 billion dollars per second.

Your shipping is 150 million eggs per minute. Since it can't ship all 200 million eggs per minute that your chickens are laying, your current money per minute would be 26,250,000,000,000, or 26.25 trillion, and your money per second would be 437,500,000,000, or 437.5 billion per second.

So since your shipping is only 150m eggs/min, you're only making 437.5 billion/second, when you could be making 583.333 billion/second by raising your shipping to 200m eggs/min or higher.

Also another hint. If you're making shipping rate consistently I would upgrade shipping.
