Oil Rig vs Logistics: Why 10* Oil Rig Beats Everything

Source: jannatul [1328477], thread t=16208388. Karma 183.

The Core Argument

10 Oil Rigs give +50% bank investment limit. Normal max is $2B invested. At a 10 Oil Rig you can invest $3B. This extra $1B invested generates more passive income than the wage difference vs Logistics.

The Maths

Assumptions: both players have full banking merits, 20% interest, 90-day term.

Logistics player (Player A): - Wage: $3M/day - Bank: $2B x 20% / 90 days = $4.44M/day - Total: $7.44M/day

Oil Rig player (Player B): - Wage: $2M/day - Bank: $3B x 20% / 90 days = $6.66M/day - Total: $8.66M/day (already $1.22M/day more)

The JP Shortcut (13.9% Bank Boost)

10* Oil Rig gives 10 job points/day. 3 JP = 1 hour off your bank investment time.

10 JP/day = 3.33 hours off per day = 0.1388 days saved per day.

Solving the equation: 90-day bank term compresses to 79 days.

Revised Oil Rig bank income: $3B x 20% / 79 days = $7.59M/day

Revised totals: | Company | Wage | Bank | Total | |---|---|---|---| | Logistics (Player A) | $3M | $4.44M | $7.44M | | 10 Oil Rig (Player B) | $2M | $7.59M | $9.59M* |

Oil Rig wins by $2.15M/day. Even at zero wage, Oil Rig ($7.59M bank alone) beats Logistics ($7.44M total).

What About TV Network?

TV has the Press Pass special (0.25% stat gain passive) and racing benefits. These are more valuable than cash if you're already wealthy and care about stats more than income. The guide is specifically for players whose goal is maximum cash/networth growth.

What About Logistics Report Special?

The Logistics Management special sells for ~$25M, giving ~$1M/day equivalent. Even accounting for this, Logistics + special = ~$8.44M/day, which still loses to Oil Rig at $9.59M/day by $1.15M/day.

Exception: if working for free at Oil Rig ($7.59M) vs Logistics at $7.44M + $1M special = $8.44M, Logistics actually wins. The free-wage claim only holds if Logistics special is ignored.

Summary

Choose 10* Oil Rig if: your main goal is maximising cash income and you have the stats to get in Choose TV Network if: you want the permanent 0.25% stat perk more than cash Choose Logistics if: you can get into a 10* one AND the special sale income exceeds your Oil Rig wage gap

Practically, 10* Oil Rigs are very competitive to get into. The calculation above assumes you can actually land a spot.

Key Number to Remember

$2.15M/day advantage for 10 Oil Rig over 10 Logistics (at $2M vs $3M wages, with all banking perks stacked).
