Business Simulation Game

As part of the celebration of Virtonomica’s 19th Birthday, we are launching a major product update!

Three new updated semi-finished products:

Rubber (2nd generation)

Synthetic fabric (2nd generation)

Carbon, a product replacing Carbon fiber  

5 new retail products:

Bicycle (2nd generation)

Motorcycle (2nd generation)

Watch (2nd generation)

Hairdryer (2nd generation)

Household Chemicals (2nd Generation)

All new generation products replace outdated analogs. Each product will be manufactured at a separate plant (previously, all semi-finished products in this update were produced at a single Chemical Plant; now, each product will have its own type).

Please note that the previously created Household Chemicals Plant (2nd Generation) has been renamed to Paint and Varnish Plant. The name Household Chemicals Plant (2nd Generation) is used for the new plant in the current update.  

A gradual phase-out procedure will be launched for 1st generation retail products, including the closure of retail markets (launching on December 25th), the removal of production specializations, and a ban on the construction of plant types (estimated for February 26th), followed by the liquidation of remaining inventory (a rather distant prospect).

Materials and semi-finished products from 1st generation will remain unchanged, as they are widely used in other production specializations.

Additionally, a new specialization for Hairdressing Equipment using 2nd generation Hair Dryers will be launched on January 26th.

Measures will also be taken to liquidate retired first-wave products (Cars, etc.), as well as 1st generation electronics. The package of measures will include the liquidation of these factories and the purchase of goods at average cost. Details will be announced separately.

Following a regular audit of the cost of Boosters, we are making some adjustments to their service prices. Specifically:

Solar cell batteries: 16,000 per turn (20% reduction per unit size)
Telescopic loaders: 30,000 per turn (50% reduction)
System of warehouse marking (for Factories): 15,000 per turn (25% reduction)
System of warehouse marking (for Stores): 8,000 per turn (20% reduction)

The reduction for Solar Panels will allow this innovation to be applied to less energy-intensive production facilities, while the cost reduction for warehouse innovations will expand the number of units where their use is feasible.

The updates will take effect on November 26th.

We also draw your attention to the introduction last month regional projects Boosters in Villas, denominated in game points. These alternative Boosters were launched at player request, with the same basic bonuses.

In June 2025, we plan to reform the IT industry, which will affect both sales of services to the population and traffic generation on towers. The industry indicators have not been updated for a very long time, although the parameters of generation and sales were planned to change constantly for normal operation, and now the time for change has come.

Firstly, mobile communications are switching to a new format – 3G!
To provide services, significantly more traffic will be required, now under the conditions of a 2.5G network, the data transfer rate is approximately equal to 136 kbps, while the speed of about 3.5 Mbps is planned for the new standard.

Secondly, it is planned to reduce the bonus to the throughput of towers depending on the quality of the equipment. Now the bonus is 15% for each point of equipment quality, in 5 weeks the bonus will be reduced to 10%, which will distribute traffic sales more evenly and significantly reduce the amount of generated traffic.

Owners of towers with better equipment will still have a noticeable advantage in the market, but it will be slightly reduced. Note that the function of the amount and capacity of traffic has a power dependence, so the absolute values ​​of production will change very much. But in the current conditions, most of the generated traffic remains unused due to a very significant bonus, so for some towers these changes will go completely unnoticed.

The planned changes will take place within 5 weeks:
– June 5: speed 1 Mbit/s, bonus on towers – 14%
– June 12: speed 1.5 Mbit/s, bonus on towers – 13%
– June 19: speed 2 Mbit/s, bonus on towers – 12%
– June 26: speed 2.5 Mbit/s, bonus on towers – 11%
– July 3: speed 3.5 Mbit/s, bonus on towers – 10%

In the future, based on the results of the analysis of the changes made, it is planned (possibly) to switch to the 4G communication format with speeds up to 25 Mbit/s and further reduce the bonus to 5%. These changes are planned for the end of the year.

On January 27, we are launching the functionality that players requested in their suggestions for improving our game functionality – automatic renewal of boosters.

The mechanism of the functionality is simple and clear – in the booster management or installation window, you need to mark the desired auto-renewal position. This function can also be managed from the Group Boosters Management.

Please note that for boosters whose cost is nominated in virtual money terms, auto-renewal is automatically set upon installation. For boosters whose cost is specified in the GP, auto-renewal is canceled by default.

At the same time, we are announcing a change in the cost of boosters in the near future:

• from February 3, the cost of installation and maintenance at Livestock Farms (increase by 20 times), Laboratories (increase by 50 times), Stores (increase by 10 times), Warehouses (increase by 20 times), Factories (increase by 20 times) will change.
• from February 10, deductions for political boosters (10 times) and regional bonuses (10 times) in Villas will increase.

The cost changes will only affect Boosters nominated in game currency. The cost of Boosters for game points remains unchanged.

For all already installed Boosters, the cost of maintenance will also change at the time of price update, please pay attention to this!
