Companies & stocks

Companies are how “jobs” work on NEXUS: players hire players. Commands: /company (/firma).

Wages

  • Wages are paid every minute (wage ÷ 60) while the employee is online, from the company cash.
  • Employees also get +0.2 Economy XP per minute.
  • When an employee sells at the market, the company gets +5% of the sale value as a bonus.
  • If the company cash is empty, wages stop and everyone is warned.

Stock exchange

  • Go public: /company ipo <shares> <price> (10–100,000 shares, price ≥ 1 NC).
  • Trade in /stocks: left buy 1, shift-left buy 10, right sell 1, shift-right sell all.
  • Every share bought raises the price by 0.5% and the money goes to the company cash; every share sold lowers it by 0.5% (min. 0.5 NC) and is bought back from the company cash. If the cash is empty, the company cannot buy back shares.
  • Every hour the price moves 10% towards its fundamental value = (company cash + daily revenue × 10 + employees × 200) ÷ shares, plus about 1% noise. Daily revenue decays by 4% per hour.
  • Dividends: /company dividend <total> splits the amount over all shares held by players; afterwards the price rises by 3%.
  • Economy XP: 2 per share bought, 1 per share sold.

For investors: companies with lots of cash, active employees and steady sales have a high fundamental value – the price drifts up towards it.
