On Wednesday, March 9, Virtonomics going to have a massive game update which includes: new country, new agricultural business and other interesting features!
 

Poland
 
We adding a big European country - Poland
 
Total population of Poland is 38 484 mil.
 
Country has 3 administrative regions: Mazovia and Little Poland, Pomerania and Wielkopolska and Silesia.
 
Number of cities is 11
 
Warsaw 1 735,400 residents
Krakow 761 800
Lodz 706000
Wroclaw 634 500
Poznan 545 700
Gdansk 461 500
Szczecin 407 200
Area of Bydgoszcz 357 600
Lublin 341 700
Katowice 301 800
Czestochowa 230 100
 
One of the most important national crops going to growth there - potatoes.
Poland has some mineral resources as well: Coal, copper and iron ore
 
Very soon Agricultural Union of the new country planning to launch a massive program of regional development which supposed to have a positive effect for Polish economy. Wait for the announcement!
 

Potatoes
 
Poland will appear in all realms, Mary and Lien going to have a new agricultural product Potatoes!
 
Potatoes mainly used in livestock farms as animal feed. 11 new specializations for Livestock farms will be added so you can use potatoes for any kind of animal farm.
 
In addition to that there are some other areas where you can use potatoes:
 
- In Mary a new product is Instant food
- Mary and Lien going to have a new specialization in restaurants - Fried Chicken
 

Beekeeping
 
We couldn't ignore active lobbying of a new livestock business area. Our players made it clear - they have been really passionate about adding beekeeping and we decided to do that. Today we announce Beekeeping industry for all realms!
 
Basically Apiaries are very similar to other livestock subdivisions in terms of interface and functionality.
 
Apiaries "Equipment" is Bees
 
"Animal feed" / consumables for Apiaries is Wax foundation
 
Beekeeping products depend on apiaries specialization (4 different specializations: Collecting honey, pollination of crops, medicinal beekeeping and reproduction of bee families):
Bees
Honey (retail product)
Beeswax
Royal jelly (retail product)
 
Also there are two additional products which you can obtain by manufacturing
Wax foundation (Made in new factory)
Cosmetic masks (Product for stores)
 
Some old factories going to get new specializations which use beekeeping products:
Honey Cake
Honey flakes
Honey candies
Medovukha (beer)
Honey jam
Polishing (cleaning products)
Anti-Aging Cream (Cosmetics)
Bee medicinal ingredients (natural honey products)

 
Independent supplier located in Ufa / Russia (Buenos Aires for Mary) of Wax foundation will support the industry at the beginning.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Agricultural farms and plantation of all kinds will get a bonus to product quality. The bonus depends on number of apiaries (fully functioning) in the city. Not only apiaries owned by player going to be taken into account but also all apiaries owned by corporation members are accounted. This works only for apiaries which have "pollination of crops" specialization. The maximum bonus for crops (product) quality is +50% +20%. Number of healthy bee colonies per 1 hectare of land is getting into account. Apiaries of corporation members have only +50% +20% effect in comparison with your own apiaries. 1 bee colony is enough to get full bonus for X hectares of land. (X depends on quality of bees)
 
UPD - fixed

 

New products
 
Expansion of retail product line:
Car Alarm (With 1 additional specialization - Car Alarm with GPS)
Pans
Video game consoles
Boots (2 specializations: Men and Women boots)
 
Also Vera realm will get Umbrellas
 
Expect new features in service sector as well, 2 new specializations per each
 
Auto repair:
Medical equipment maintenance station
Car alarms service

 
Restaurants:
Tea House
Eco-restaurant

 
Medicine:
Cosmetology center
Immunology center

 
For references:
Total new types of factories (all realms): 5
New products: 10
New specializations for services: 6
New specializations for old factories: 8

Some fixes and clarification

1 - Max bonus reduced from 50% to 20%
2 - By one bee colony we understand one unit of bees (max size has 250 bee colonies). 3 things have influence on this: Health of bees, total efficiency and quality of bees. Quality 1 gives full bonus to 1 ha, Q2 = 2 ha, etc until Q5. After bees quality of 5 bonus decreasing. For instance Q10 gives full bonus to 5.8 ha
3 - Independent suppliers of Wax foundation and bees going to stay at least until June.

More details I received about the bonus:
 
Bonus is one and linear for all farms
for example
you have 3 farms 1000
total 3000 - needed 600 bees
if you have 300 bees, the bonus on all farms would be 10% (we have reduced to a maximum of 20%)

Very much like 20 bees for each a 100ha., not including the quality of bees, nor the apiaries' efficiency.
 
So, time to mass-stack wax foundations, just in case. Ridiculously

Forcing you to open your bee hives and factories in that country to produce the wax foundations instead of exporting the materials to somewhere else. I roll!

^ lol but what's the point in making this "play for free" function when it still depends on a produce only accessible via payment?
 
My wood sells for $2000 a piece, current market value is 5x that...
 
Assuming the bee's wax is $1 that means the foundation will be approx 2025 with rent and employment. The ip has a 300x limit this means $300 (or is it quality times 300?, no matter it's going to take 3 months to get to that state...)
 
Imagine if everyone did this to the market:
http://virtonomics.com/lien/main/unit/view/3464518 ...
Sure it's the highest q on the market but no-one is buying it Very we!

I have a couple of questions about bees on Lien realm.
 
I have a size 1 (10 bees) apiary in Venezuela and another size 1 apiary in Sri Lanka with pollination specialization. I would have expected a 10/100 * 20% = 2% increase to qualification on my size 1 plantations in these regions, but there was no change from the previous turn. Is there a lag between pollination and the bonus to agriculture?
 
The honey produced from my Venezuela apiary was Q1.05. I understand this due to the agriculture aviation bonus. But the honey produced from my Sri Lanka apiary was Q1.08. Is there another bonus in Sri Lanka that stacks with agriculture aviation?
 
Edit: Sorry, but I mean the Veterinary Service rather than the Agriculture Aviation bonus.

I think if the independent supplier for the wax foundation would be removed after a while, a lot of players will be disappointed (mostly newbies without any paid resources).
 
Nevertheless, it's quite a cheap quality bonus!
 
For 10.000ha with full quality bonus you would require 2.000 beehives with pollination specialization.
This requires 600pcs wax foundation.
 
To produce 600pcs wax foundation you would require 600 beehives with honey extraction specialization, to get the beeswax needed for the wax foundation factory. Plus an additional few to produce enough beeswax to be able to produce beeswax.
 
So guess you need like 3000 beehives to get full bonus on 10.000ha of farms, and for less than 10 points you get the needed sawmill to keep a few hundred points of farmland on top quality! Not badTo you

I think if the independent supplier for the wax foundation would be removed after a while, a lot of players will be disappointed (mostly newbies without any paid resources).

I would suggest allowing the independent supplier to "live", maybe rising price a bit? The thing is, without a souce of wood, you would be limited to the independent supply of wax foundations, thus being "stuck" (heh, honey To you ) with the usual low quality we see for all livestock farms relaying on q1.00 grain. The most you would get is bees of q2.66 with the vet service. At least that's what I think about this, no idea what prices might the honey reach due to the wood costs, maybe this is already planned.

I think it's not the newbies that will miss the wax, it's the old cheapskate companies. New companies can collect up to 30 points easily in the quests and buy a lubermill for 3 points.

Guys, with all the bee talk, did you notice that among new added products - game consoles seems like ridiculously super profitable. Even with high req.s for mining resources, one can safely buy all the virts on stock market and easily make a profit from it.
 
I wonder, what is the main factor in determining the virt price - the increasing cash bags of top players or the earnings ratio from most profitable mining resource - and that is bauxite for now. If the latter, I think silica can easily dethrone bauxite as the main resource. And we can expect the virt price rise even higher in the near future.
