Managers & skim rates

Managers keep your businesses running around the clock, but they skim a share of your profit. Here is exactly how much each tier takes.

Managers & Skimming

Managers keep businesses running automatically around the clock. Without a manager, a business runs one production cycle and stops. With a manager, it runs continuously.

The catch: managers skim a percentage of your profits. The lower the tier, the more they take.
