This is a living document and will be updated as more questions are frequently asked. Please don't forget that everything in the game's FAQ still applies to Entrepreneurs.
0) Why can't I access Entrepreneurs yet?
If you can't see the icon below, bust your caches from the device you are using.
1) Wait, I haven't been paying attention, what is this all about?
Please read the post by Patrik in Sim Company Times 187
2) How do I access R2?
Click/tap the realms icon at the top of the screen. This will also show your current realm.
3) Why are there no bonds/executives/etc?
Every building/resource/feature will be introduced over time across a number of phases
4) When will these “missing” features come in?
On Thursday, the Entrepreneurs Sim Companies Times' first edition will include a list of the phases and what to expect in each.
5) Why do Construction Units / Transport / etc cost so much?
In the current phase, the game's NPC (Non Player Character) is the only "company" able to provide these resources, and is set to a higher price so that it is easy to compete against it.
For more, see the #6 in the game's FAQ.
6) If I get a chat ban here, will I still be able to chat in the other realm?
No. Chat bans are shared across realms.
7) Why does the hardware store exist?
Not every choice will be a good one for you to make, plan accordingly.
8) I have negative cash, what can I do? Is it possible to go bankrupt?
I'd highly recommend paying attention to your cashflow over the first few levels as you are unable to scrap buildings until level 5. Running out of transports will also give you issues when trying to sell products to make up cash.
9) How do I turn off notifications?
Visit your settings.
10) Why are there so few achievements available?
Achievements, like other features, will be added with each phase. Work towards them now will give you credit when available later.
11) How do I transfer Sim Boosts from Magnates to Entrepreneurs?
For a limited time, you can transfer Sim Boosts via the link on the realm-switch page.
12) Why can't I send a PM to another company?
You can, but they have to exist in the same realm as you are currently playing.
13) How do I know what [Magnates company] is in Entrepreneurs (or vice versa)?
Realms have been specifically designed so that companies can have completely unique identities in Entrepreneurs than they do in Magnates.
Some people actually prefer their identity is not linked to their Magnates company. So they can start anew, without everyone else knowing who they are. Then there are people, that want to chose the same name and logo, or a variation of it. Depends on your preferences. Only auditors can see who you are in the other realm. And only moderators/admins have their name reserved on another realm, to prevent impersonification. Whether mods decide to use the same identity on both servers is up to them.
14) Why haven't I received [insert PA Quest here] yet?
PA Quests are sent based on various hidden triggers. Keep playing and increasing your company value and you'll get.
15) If I buy the "Starting Pack", how does the included speed boost work with the existing one?
The starting pack's additional speed boost will apply once your starting speed boosts finish, which is 24 hours after you start (12 hours of 3x, followed by 12 hours of 2x, then the starting pack's speed boost).
16) Do I have to pick between Magnates and Entrepreneurs? Do I have to play in Entrepreneurs at all? Will Magnates change as a result of this?
Absolutely not. Many companies will be playing both and it is designed so that you can. Just remember to check on Magnates while you focus on Entrepreneurs or else your executives will go untrained, contracts won't get sent out, and buildings will be idle.
However, with some companies completely switching to Entrepreneurs, I'd expect some small dynamic shifts in Magnates.
17) Why can't I sell [resource] on the exchange for [price]?
The game limits prices based on factors, during the first few days there isn't much to base this on, and the limits will change rapidly, so another listing might have been posted while that price was allowed. Don't worry, it'll adjust and settle down in a few days.
For more info, please learn about reference prices.
18) What about chatrooms?
Some chatrooms (Supporters, Game, Help, Social) are shared and you'll be able to chat with companies in both realms.
The Sales chat is specific to each realm.
