Today we are announcing a large package of innovations related to one of the most important sectorsof the economy and not yet presented in Virtonomics ­ the Fuel industry.
 
The launch of the fuel industry category in Virtonomics is scheduled for Monday, February 16th.
 
The fuel industry and gas stations
Fuel production will include 3 varieties of gasoline, diesel, and fuel oil. Production at the plant will be multifaceted (meaning, a simultaneous production of several products in a single production cycle), the range of specific products and value of derivatives depends on the specialization, which, in turn, requires a minimum quality of crude oil.
 
In total, we get the following products:
Gasoline Normal
Gasoline Regular
Gasoline Premium
Fuel oil
Diesel fuel
 
Gasoline and diesel fuel are being sold to the population of cities at Gas stations ­a new unit operating as a retail store. The main features:
  • The leased unit without the possibility of moving (change of dimension);
  • Has the equipment ­ Refueling equipment;
  • The efficiency of the unit depends on the new qualification – Gas stations and auto repair;
  • Functional ­ typical store with advertising, sales floor and any other stuff.

Additionally, there will be State orders for diesel fuel on a daily basis (auction results are also included in the "State order" nomination group at the Contest of the Presidents).
 
Related auto­products and auto­repair shops
To the delight of motorists, we are introducing 3 new products in the Automotive Products Division:
 
Car tire rims
Car roof box
Car body parts
 
Additionally, these products are used in a new "service" category.
 
Auto­repair shops ­- a new unit of the service category with consumables. The unit will require a new type of equipment ( Auto repair equipment), the effectiveness depends on the new player qualification.
 
Specializations:
Auto­repair shops
Body works
Tire service
Basic car repair service
Car tuning service
Major car repair service
Seasonal car repair service

Zoning, advertising, brands of the consumables work the same way it does in other service based specialization (restaurants, for example).
 
Energy: new types of power plants
Fuel oil, as an inevitable residue of oil refining, is usually burned in power plants. Thus, we decided to introduce a new type of power plant. Moreover, even two of them.
 
Fuel oil power plant. Just a new specialization of Power Plants. Fuel oil is a consumable, as indicated above. It has a small environmental benefit compared to coal powered plants.
 
Incinerator
Fundamentally, it is a new type of power plant without consumables that uses garbage collected from cities.  Accordingly, the stations of this type in a large part are helping the city to solve the problem of garbage disposal. But it has very high operating costs and reduced environmental friendliness.
This type of power has only one option of electricity sale ­ the city grid.
 
Each type of power plant has its own equipment.
Based on this, there are the following industrial products:
Fuel oil energy unit
Fuel appliances
Garbage incineration energy unit
Garbage collecting equipment
Flue gas cleaning system
 
At the same time, the demand for the minimum quality of consumable coal for the coal power plants will fall (the required resource level of quality will be lowered to 3. It is currently conventionally linked to resource quality 5 that is extracted in the coal mine of the same technology level).
 
Oil well sales
On Thursday, February 12th, there is a planned crude oil sale. State­owned enterprises Oil well will supply oil with discounts up to 50%.
 
Reference
The total number of new types of productions: 5 + 2 (production + energy)
New products: 16
