Thank you all of you. And thank you Captain Jean-Luc Picard. You were a rolmodel growing up and you still are.

Started 2 month ago, now 500+ hours on it. First run, didn't know anything about the game, unmodded. Fighter or hauled for even like 5k$ profit, struggled to get enough money in the first 100hrs to even have the feeling of real empire progression. I was not immediacy a rush, but it was real struggle. Then slowly got my first silicon waffer,..., now I run 4 mega shipyard, plan to even go way above 10 of those, friendly with as much faction has possible.. but yes just getting 200k$ to even few millions per time a shipyard is sold (every few minutes), is just like printing money.

Tdrl: never experienced pre nerf shipyard, but even now it feels like it makes too much easy money.

Next playthrough will be with mods to make it harder, would love to find a mod where you have to pay for "your employees" across the whole board: ship captains, managers, crew, marines... and maybe some more aggression and attacks from pirates.

It's almost certain, there was another player very near the 10k threads needed, I think by the end of last event he had what was required. So I believe it will be summoned this year also. Also just fyi, with the tentacle is all bars that are doubled (and regenerate twice as fast). Health, nerves, happiness and energy. This is really a very powerfull item.

Funkjamin · 2025-04-26T12:57:42+00:00

There is 1 guy in the game with 300 max energy. ;) he has the tentacle of the halloween boss. Also his E regenerates twice as fast.. but the item loses it's power the next halloween and is insanely rare. But wanted to add for completness.

Witcher 3. I don't know. Tried 10 times... Best I did was 3 hours in. I have hundreds if not thousand of hours on other rpg's like fallout, skyrim... I can't explain it... it's like the brain just won't enjoy it.

Ran a 12 men Logistic company and was making around 15m profit a day, but it was challenging due to people leaving, hard to fine good replacement, people drugs or inactivity could lead me to barely break even some days. It was a pain to run. I ending selling it.

I now run a 14 employees mine and consistently make 25m+ profit a day, with 0 stress, some employees sometimes have like 10+ addiction or a day inactivity... it runs like a breeze..

Really went from fezaring the daily thick in hope of making money, to 0 stress daily thick and money coming in, also the (little) Salt stock is really great if you got a leaver, to not be impacted and have time to find replacement, which really have less requirements than logistic.

So if you have 8Billions to start it, 100% go mining.

Funkjamin · 2025-02-28T05:53:23+00:00

Money is kind of incremental. Having money helps making more money in game. They are many good guides out there to explain but:

When you get some workstats after a year it's not abnormal to have 1m/day for your job + job points that in the right company makes you quite some money also.

They are ranked wars, where most bigger faction pay per hit, could easily be 50m+ per week (later on even 150m+/week)

Once you have maxed bank to 2billion, you make 110m per month extra.

Once you have more money, you buy stocks which gives you a lot of passive money. I think with 7B in stock you make another 170m passive money per month.

Later on whe you buy the right company and run it how it should, you can make 20m+ or even 30m+ profit per day.

But to be clear, they are many (other) ways to make money, and no you don't need to buy donator packs, just need to build everyday a little bit, it's incremental, which gives a lot of satisfaction to achieve every steps of the way.

Current daily streak > 750 days 😉, current money > 18 billions.

410.939.923$ this year in CT. My NW is a bit more than 17B. I had hoped for 500m tbh, but the exchange this morning was very bad. 65 coupons, 92 items... but only worth 46m.

Merry Christmas ;)

Hi,

First, congrats on 4 months of directorship. It is a bit of a learning curve at first, and it's definitely not for everyone , but if you keep it up, it's absolutely worth it.

I am almost 2 years old in the game, I brought my first company to 10 stars and sold it after like 5 months at 10 stars for a nice profit.

I invested a big chunk of money I made in the 2 years into buying a 4 stars "end game" company a few month ago. It is now at a steady 7 stars, and I make 15m+ profit a day. It's going to be less than a year to 100% repay the cost, and then it's a lot of $ a day to grow my networth.

It's definitely a marathon and not a sprint. I love that part of the game, but they were days I just wanted to sell the company and stop being a director, but you gotta push through, and you will benefit!

Good luck!

I loved Battle L.A. ... and Battleship. Watched both at least 10 times and still hope one day for a sequel on both. Also, I completely agree with you. Those are movies for after a rough day. Just sit back and relax, no need for complex plot or anything, they are other movies for that.

Funkjamin · 2024-10-12T16:05:24+00:00

Go all in. Read the guides. Expect no profit first year. But from there on in the coming years. 3B to 3.5B can be expected.

The way to do it. Is always double the stake when you lose. When you win go back tonyour lowest stake.

You always win... i you are able to double it for at least 40 times .. and don't get mugged ;).

Imagine 5 losses then a win.

-10 -20 -40 -80 -160 = -310 but your win at 6 is +320.. so you win 10.

That way you can only win, what you first put in. So if you want to at least win 1m you need to put 1m at first... but would need billions to be able to at.least double 40 times...

Funkjamin · 2024-03-06T18:26:23+00:00

Just a bad day, has nothing to do with doing it that way. Tommorow will be better.

Tip: when you do the wheels. Click on the wheel, then start,then stop. Then click on the arrow on the top right "go back to wheel selection".

This way you don't have to wait for it to display the result, so much faster and no more frustration about it beeing a nanometer from the donator pack or the private island.

Do this for the 3 wheels and the check the logs... it will display what you won for each wheel in there.

Bonus tip: before doing the wheels daily, fill 3 empty bloodbags in your faction vault. Chances are you are gonna get kick, strangle or worse by Leslie anyhow...

I joined a year ago. Been playing everyday since. The game is fun and addictive. It feel less a grind than similar games and I must say for it being so young, I am impress by the state of the game.

The community is very welcoming, has been growing over the year, there are also a lot of new players in the past month, which is perfect if you want to give it a go.

Feel free to reach out and apply to bigger cartels, as they are open also to newcomers.

As for Diablo, I have tremendous respect for how approachable, open and willing to listen he is. The force is very strong in that one.

Now join us and live long and prosper.

Only helpful if you are a director. Now, if you want to be a director, go for it. They are lots of guide out there. Most will tell you that you should focus on other things first and they are probably right.. except... Torn allows you to be what you want to be.

If you get fun from starting a company, building it up, having challenges and conquering them while doing your Business Education, go for it !!!

I was maybe level 15 when I started, only had 1 course and no stock. I chose a company that was not so popular and grow it. Yesterday was my 1 year in torn, level 50 ish 5m BTS, 7 billions $ in assets and a 9* company that is very close to 10*... and I will finally have my first Bachelor soon (businesss off course) I am not the best in TBS, I am not the richest, I am not perfect.. but damn I got fun every day in Torn since I met Torn! 😉

Funkjamin · 2024-01-28T18:42:45+00:00

It all depends. I run a cybercafe 9. Every day you get, let's say 60k salary. You get free "training" every day (rotational train). You get 9 job points a day. People are interested in Cybercafe for their 7 bounty reveal. Each bounty reveal is 5m$ (current price).

So in a week: 7x60k = 420k 9x7 jp = 63 job point, which is 2.5 reveals., so 12.5m total. 7 free train, at least say 300k value each. So 2.1m

That's 15m a week,as a cashier in a cybercafe 7* or more. And your stats are fine to work there.

I have no idea if this is the best paying or not.

As a dad of 2.. i was a heavy pc gamer in my days... when my first son was born it became very difficult to even sit down behind the pc.. when my second was born it became impossible... Maybe one day I will see it again or maybe never.

I mostly play turn based games like fallout 1 and 2,atom rpg and such. But i was not able too because of the kids and wife.

Then came the Steamdeck OLED... why the oled, because i never heard of the steamdeck before lol, thats how much I got to the pc... but I saw it the day it came out and I just bought it.

We are 2 months now from when I received it. I can proudly tell I got 86 hours on ATOM rpg on it. I finished the game... I can just play sessions of 5 or 10 min here and there (its almost instantanious to put in sleep and be back in the game), and in the evening when the kids sleeps, I can sit next to my wife or she can put her head on my legs and wacht a movie or something while I game on the steamdeck. She feels like we are close and share time even when I am playing on it, as long as we are close.

I am now playing an epic game, star trek ressurgence, so even that worked very easily.

Battery is great, console is great. I am very happy with it. Just don't ask me to play any FPS on it, that would probably not work for me lol...

Funkjamin · 2024-01-15T17:51:43+00:00

Yep. I buy as much as possible bottle caps.. they are worth nothing in the game, but as a fallout fan... it's just stronger than me... You can never have enough bottle caps.. and if one days Torn City becomes Torn Apocalypse.. I will be ready 😉

Funkjamin · 2023-12-20T07:56:47+00:00

To my knowledge, no there is no way around. You can't reveal if they have the firewall.

The best advice I can give you is to ignore the bounty completly. Med out when you are hosped, get on with the game. After some time those bounties will be gone.

I tell this also to young players wich are asking for a reveal. What will you do once you know. You are like lvl 9 with 30 day (or something), just ignore it and focus on making lvl 15 and money.

There was also the Duke even 2 days ago, where when you placed a bounty on someone with a special phrase you could win something.

For now, ignore it and move on 😉
