That's it. I filled in all the useful information about factory in one screen. I even added three pictures from "analysis view". Just because I can and just because I had a lot of free space.
I only scrapped purchasing tile from classic 3x3 grid but I am pretty sure that it can be added easily. Just remove duplicate information and maybe re-align inputs vertically.

Mad skillz session complete. And I am not even late for a night out.
Fun fact, it took less than 1.5 hours.

Hi Megapolis, thanks for your inputs. I will forward them to the dev team.

[megapolis]

additional bug. Looks like factories cannot handle more than 11 clients. 12th client waits for the first goods delivery forever

I've forwarded your save game files to the programmers and they will look into the problem.

I am not sure that it is a programmer's issue. I'd better say that it is about methodology.
And by the way I think that there should be some kind of latency in bond rating and price change. Something like the one implemented on stock market.

Update: The dev team has improved the assessment method of corporate credit ratings. It will be available in the next version 6.0.12.

Here's a bug. Looks like companies are swapped again.
On this screenshot a large company Tricubic Space merged with small Sage Bloom. As a result game forced me to sell 20% of Tricubic Space instead of paying me money for my Sage Bloom stock.

Correction: I did not have any Sage Bloom stock. CEO of Sage Bloom received a proper compensation for his stock.

Did Sae Bloom or Tricubic Space own any of your company's stock?

It could be a nested stockholding situation (A owns B's stock and B owns A's stock) that needs to be resolved by forcing one company to sell the stock of another company.

No, I insist that it is a bug. Further in my run I tried to merge with one of the rivals and as a result, 6 companies that owned small amount of stock in that company sold their share of my stock worth totally $20B. I have a save and will send it to you in a couple of minutes.

Ok, additional issue.
Let's, say, in my game I have $1.5B equity including $1.1B in Bonds.
My yearly profit is around $150M. Loan payments are already deducted from this sum, but that's ok. Let's say that bond owners are on the same page as stock owners. (I don't know if it is intentional but anyway it looks reasonable)
Since Bond interest is not excluded from my profits, I'll mention them separately. My bond payments are around $100M.
After that I am about to pay 100% dividend. And the game allows me to pay all $150M. And that is definitely wrong because my profit after Bond interest is only $50M.

Just want to let you know that this issue will be fixed in the next update v6.0.12.

Addition. This situation also affects my stock price. In fact it is inflating it. In my case by around 300%. So probably it should be better to subtract bond payments from my profit.

This issue will be fixed in the next update v6.0.12 too.
