Notes to myself ( and others) after a break
(Notes November 2024)
1 Keep Printer Input at left bottom level to prevent Carpal Tunnel (paper transport can be put behind a solid wall)
2 U will not be needing extra power for a while (Vents cost no power- fans do)
3 Pair Typeset and Assembly tables for short distance
4 Typeset-Assembly pairs at bottom floors
5 Elevators work better if you have several, stairs connect (experiment!)
6 Flower pots are cheap and very pretty (even fit onto the printer modules)
7 Try and keep 3-6 stories from the previous week and start reporting half a day before this weeks print
8 Schedule overlap and do not waste work hours by printing too early (unless for stopping an articles completion)
9 Get Ads early (Artist requirement can be "waited off " (same money))
10 Skip Artists and Photographer (summary cost of an entire floor + 4 extra staff for 2-3 stories/week is beyond reason)
11 Society is omnipresent, crime & politics close 2nd, Sports rarely combine with other genres
12 Mob, Major and Society can (!) be useful, but I have seen very little benefit & plenty of negative impact using them.
13 Use sales price to avoid negative events in the calendar
14 Lawyers cost more than they save
15 Security is not required with low risk articles.
16 In larger districts plan for 2 weeks and add multiples of the desired types
to be continued
