Corporation Inc. Cheats & Legitimate Strategy Tips

No cheat codes exist for Corporation Inc. (Flash/browser game by KoneGames / Not Doppler). It's a single-player management sim where "cheating" means editing the local `.sol` (SharedObject) save file—not worth the effort. Here's how to win efficiently:

Core Strategy: Automation First

1. Hire Managers Early: Each department (HR, R&D, Marketing, Finance, Ops) needs a Manager to auto-assign tasks. Unmanaged departments stall.
2. Upgrade Offices → Cubicles → Private Offices: Higher tier = faster work, happier employees, more capacity.
3. Research Tree Priority:
   1. **HR:** Recruitment Speed → Retention → Headhunting.
   2. **R&D:** Product Quality → Innovation → Patents.
   3. **Marketing:** Brand Awareness → Viral Campaigns → Global Reach.
   4. **Finance:** Tax Optimization → Investment Portfolio → Offshore Accounts (late game).
   5. **Ops:** Logistics → Automation → AI Management (endgame).

Cash Flow Management

• Don't over-hire. Salaries burn cash fast. Hire only when workload > capacity.
• Contract Work: Use freelancers (hourly) for spikes; convert to full-time when sustained.
• Product Launches: Time launches with Marketing peaks. High Quality + High Awareness = Revenue spike.
• Invest Surplus: Finance department → Stock Market / Bonds → Passive income.

Employee Optimization

• Traits Matter: "Workaholic" (+speed), "Genius" (+R&D), "Charismatic" (+Marketing), "Frugal" (-salary). Fire "Lazy" / "Disgruntled" fast.
• Training: Send to Seminars (costs $, boosts stats permanently).
• Work-Life Balance: Break rooms, gyms, cafeterias reduce burnout → lower turnover.

If You *Must* Edit Save (Offline Only)

1. Locate `.sol` file:
   • Windows: `%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\\chat.kongregate.com\corporationInc\`
   • Chrome: `C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects\...`
2. Open with **Sol Editor** (Python script) or **Minerva** (AIR app).
3. Edit `money`, `reputation`, `researchPoints` → Save → Refresh browser.

Enjoy building your corporate empire the intended way—it's a well-balanced sim.
