A few random base-related questions

[Dirty Old Man]

1. So, say I want to upgrade my side base's hearthstone. With your main base it's easy, just ship a huge amount of stuff, but if you ship from the side base it'll count towards the main hearthstone's growth, because all shipping containers have shared inventory. What can you do then to rush the network unlock?
2. A few policies stood out to me, mainly "Traveler's Inn" which "Adds the quality of the bed to the accommodation fee" and the "Luxury Suite" which "Rips off lodging fees from the wealthy." Do they both apply to tourists too(because the first policy's name kind of implies it), or it's only for the residents?
3. Related to the previous one, what counts towards the "quality" of the bed, or even an item in general? Is that the prefix stuff like "bewitched", or the price of the item or the rarity of the material(as in, adamantium bed would beat the gold one by miles), or something else?

1. id suggest hire minions with pioneer "work", hearth level past 6 is significantly harder to grow, but pioneer gives a fixed random growth every day.
2. No idea my base is a mess
3, same

I don't have definitive answers, as I don't really think there's enough information out there yet, but I'll offer my thoughts if you don't mind.

1. Wouldn't setting the second land to "home" cause the shipping box to count toward that land's growth?

2. Based on the way those are written (or at least translated...), I was assuming that they both apply ONLY to guests. The "Resident Tax" and "Wealth Tax" would be the equivalents for your residents, if I'm not mistaken.

3. I think that aside from the relative level of the crafting/carpentry "recipe", the affixes are what determines "quality", since that's the only effect I can see that using different materials gives you, at least for furniture. In particular you want the "sell price" affixes, I think. Maybe I'm wrong and there's more to it though.

yea, the lodging and luxury suit policies only work for guests.

as for the bed quality i had an increase in income when i switched to beds with a higher comfort level (birch has lvl 3 comfort lvl 2 price) compared to only having the price up from palulu (lvl 4 price up)

The game uses the last shipping container you deposited items into as the location items are shipped from and will say at the bottom of the shipping screen "shipped from X." I'm pretty sure this boosts the hearthstone at that location.

Yep, that's correct. The last time I checked, I must have messed up and placed something beforehand in the container at my main base. Well, now it's gonna be infinitely easier to level the stone.
