=== Q: I’m new, how do I start? ===

A: Your company exists without a start command. Common commands are <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$help</span>, <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$tutorial</span>, <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$faclist</span>, <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$f</span>, <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$a</span>, <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$val</span>, and <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$c</span>. Newly added <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$wiki</span> command is awesome!

=== Q: I still have questions, what should I do? ===

A: Go to <b style="color:blue">#help</b> in discord HQ and ping <b style="color:green">@helper</b> with your question.

=== Q: I’m new, can I get advice on what facility I should focus on now? ===

A: Your goal is to generate assets to sell for cash.

There are multiple ways to get started:
Opt 1: As shown in the tutorial you can use [[Tree farm]](s) and move into [[Furniture factory]](ies) to produce [[Wood]] and furniture to sell the assets for cash.

Opt 2: Building [[oil well]]s and then Plastic factories to manufacture [[Plastic]] and sell it for cash.

Opt 3: Building [[Coal mine]]s and later replacing them silicon and [[Gold mine]]s to eventually start producing [[Laptop]]s.

=== Q. Is there a storage capacity in Idle-Corp? ===

A. No, you can store as many assets as you can build or buy.

=== Q. Can I give money to my friends? ===

A. The bot does not have a command to give money, but the player market can be used if both players have a logistics center. This is done by selling (an) asset(s) to the player that's giving the money.

Advanced woodworking is usually used as a "trading token" due to a lack of interest on market. This makes it easier to trade without accidently selling to/buying from the wrong person.

=== Q. What is net worth? ===

A. Your net worth is a total of everything your Corp owns. Land, factories, assets, developed tech, and money affect your net worth. Here is some info about the formula.
Land value at 40% buy price.
Factory value at 40% buy price.
Asset value at NPC market price.
Developed Tech at a value of all materials needed to develop it.
Money at current cash level.

A. Use the command <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$offers</span>. It will show your current offers and which slot number they are in 1, 2 or 3.<br>Then use <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$canceloffer <1, 2 or 3></span>

=== Q. What is regional legislator, and how do I become one in my server? ===

A. A regional legislator is an elected official, who has the ability to change policies in the region for a week. This has a few steps.

First check <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$r</span>, if a region office built (it costs 100m). Use <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$ds region office 100m</span> to fully fund it.

Now you can join the ballot. To join ballot use <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$joinballot</span>. It costs 10m to join.
Vote for yourself using <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$voteballot <b style="color:#677ebe">@YourName</b></span>.

If you get an error while voting, you probably need voters boon. Use <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$vote</span> and vote for the bot to get it. Then try and vote again. 

Now you need to wait for the election to end. Use <span style="background-color:#30313511;padding:3px;border-radius: 5px;">$$ballot</span> to see when it ends. Once the ballot closes and you get elected, you can change the policies.

Tip: A tie in votes will cause no one to win.
