1. Two New Products - Mobile Devices and Zinc

Two new products are added to Simcountry today, these products are Mobile Devices and Zinc.

Mobile Devices:
Mobile devices can now be produced by Mobile Devices Corporations. The corporation is in the High tech group.
Mobile Devices will be used in many different types of corporations and will be added to the consumption products used by the population.

Initially while not produced in large quantities, Mobile Devices are used in small quantities only in the telephone corporations and internet corporations. Their use will be increased in the coming weeks as their availability increases.

Zinc:
Zinc is now added to the mining group of products. It is initially used in the production of Steel and in construction corporations. The use of Zinc will be extended in the coming weeks as it becomes more available.
More products will be added into the mining group in

There is no zinc on the markets being sold to corporations so all corporations that require it arent producing anything...

we have done this before many times.
It is always creating a blip in production.

currently there are already corporations producing it and we are of course adding product to the market in the first days to get it moving.

Thanks for that...

3 corps go down out of 34. Its a good job the rest of the corps are just about keeping the country afloat.

Maybe throw it in a news article about upcoming changes (on the homepage where you login) rather than just throw it in and scare the life out of everyone

I saw the shortages, was like what the?. Noticed we need zinc, built some zinc. Problem solved in a couple months...At least for me.

BTW, thanks for the new Corps Andy.

Finally saw what the hubbub was about on -1trillion assets, somewhat. Transferred the cash the poor country was crying for and things seem heading back to normal. Doesn't seem like a big deal, if you are around to handle it immediately. Not sure I would be pleased to deal with it if I was on an extended trip or something. The system immediately spikes taxes, if your country has mostly CEO corps that will be a problem as the Automated tax increases cause CEOs to jet for greener pastures.

zinc lousy order it if need be c3 country good

Thanks for the new features Andy.

Any idea when countries will purchase Mobile Devices for citizens, if that's planned? Any guess on quantities would be great to know as well, and when might they be able to be purchased through CM contracts?

Cheers

Hey Andy, maybe you can reinsert the Welfare-Explanation into the game docs next game update?

@Borg Queen
What abou the CM members limit?

BTW, I'm T.Wo.

Mobile devices will become a consumption product in the next update coming Tuesday.

Use will increase in the corporations that already have it.

A solution is found for new products that will not cause any trouble in corporations that start using it.

More products will be added coming Tuesday.

A new indexes document will be added this week.

It will document all the indexes in Simcountry.
