Assets

''Success in your business depends on the acquisition of Assets. These are buildings that directly contribute to your wealth, such as Banks, Farms, Nuclear Power Plants, and for the truly powerful, Space Stations. To acquire an Asset, you must visit the Auction House and place a bid on an upcoming property. If your bid goes unchallenged, the Asset becomes yours and the fee is paid. Once an Asset is yours, it will begin to produce a set amount of Resources every day. You may only place one bid per day, however.''

In-game description.

Assets are the centrepiece of any business empire and are the decisive factor in winning the game. Acquiring Assets allows for the diverse production of Resources. The primary method through which Assets are acquired is by bidding on them at the Auction House. It is also possible to randomly win an Asset during an Unforeseen Circumstance.

Assets have a Cost, a Production, a Rarity Rating, and a set number of in-game days during which the Asset will not appear in the Auction House. Note that the lower the Rarity Rating, the less likely the Asset is to spawn, making it rarer.

Trivia

 * In the same manner as Resources, Assets were intended to each have a unique picture icon. However, this was never implemented due to time constraints.
