Player Companies and Industry

A player company is the social and financial organization. It has an owner, employees, positions, wages, treasury, stock, advertising, capacity, and performance.

Industry facilities are the production layer. Resource ventures create raw materials, processors refine them, and workshops turn components into finished goods.

5. 05
   Retail and trade

   Companies and players sell finished value through business stock, commissions, or the Exchange.

• Owners fund the treasury, facilities, wages, advertising, and warehouse growth.
• Employees perform shifts that create stock and long-term company performance.
• Supply contracts establish quantity, unit price, and repeat cadence between companies.
• Company shares allow investment and player-to-player resale without transferring direct control.

Distance between the supplier and buyer determines freight time and cost. Portal-instability events can raise incident risk on interworld routes.

Cargo insurance adds a freight premium and sharply limits losses if an incident occurs. The buyer inspects the delivered quantity on arrival, while the supplier is paid from the original protected contract.
