 Dear players! We are launching a program to update products and goods in the game! Products update The goal of the program is to withdraw a number of obsolete retail products from circulation and replace them with new generation products. Most of the products presented in the game were created 15 years ago, when Virtonomics was just launched. During this time, the technological levels of development of production have gone very, very far, which gives huge and unattainable advantages to old companies. Today's changes are aimed at democratizing commodity markets, as well as increasing competition and overall game dynamics. The update will be made not only for retail goods. All semi-finished goods, including the fundamental products of the Metallurgical, Chemical, Machine-Building and other industries, will also be updated. It is also planned to introduce the production of new semi-finished products. Minerals and other primary types of resources will not be updated. Details Procedure for changing retail markets There will be a gradual decrease in the volume of markets for products of the previous generation. The standard market "fading" rate is 100 turns, during which the market is halved. For goods withdrawn from circulation, restrictions are introduced on the creation of enterprises producing them and the generation of tenders. Technology update procedure For each type of raw material, it is planned to launch a new production and technological line. That is, for the production of a new generation of steel, a new type of metallurgical plant will be needed. The technology for this type of production will need to be studied from level 1. Technologies for current productions will remain unchanged, they can continue to be studied and used up to a maximum level of 50. The expansion of the technological line above level 50 is not planned. Additional Information We also plan to completely remove from retail shelves goods that were taken out of circulation many years ago. Since the creation of production is not available for them, this puts players in unequal conditions, and is simply misleading. Goods will be written off from the warehouses of all divisions at the time of withdrawal from retail turnover with compensation of a certain value to the warehouse owners. More precise information and the release date will be announced later in a separate announcement. Goods used as equipment for other unit types or as raw materials for service specializations will be replaced in the recipe and requirements with new ones after the first 100-day extinction period. More detailed information will also be posted in a separate announcement. Most of the new generation products will be similar products in terms of composition, market volume and other indicators. In this case, the new products will receive the same names, and the names of the old ones will be added with the identifier "obsolete", for example, Steel and Steel (obsolete). Similar changes will affect the types of manufacturing industries. |
