1. The maintenance of Wind Farms

As mentioned and announced several times in the past weeks and months, wind farms that are not fully maintained will deliver less electric power than fully maintained wind farms.

The functions is now active although at a low level. Max reduction is less than 20% and this only happens when the shortages of wind turbines are extreme.

With extreme shortages, the number of wind farms in the country will start to decline and 2 to 10 wind farms will be dismantled each game month, for lack of maintenance during a prolonged period.

The function will be tuned up with the following game updates.

2. Silver

Silver will become more important. The new type of EV batteries will use Silver, in small quantities, but the numbers of future EV cars will substantially increase the use of Silver.

3. New Natural Resources - Nickel & Titanium

New natural resources will be

Thanks for all the fixes.

In the corporations page,
For the Air force Maintenance, the supplies table is listing 0 as the input for several goods. I understand this is because the resources used monthly are between 0 and 1. Could we please improve these to show two decimal places?


On another note,
In the Game News page, item #10 ate into a bit of HTML code and destroyed the header for August 21, 2024.

This ongoing tuning of these corporations will hopefully reduce the structural, huge shortages of electric power in all the worlds. header toc=date] August 21, 2024<!-/Quote-!>

I also didn't get the flashing icon, next to the Game News button on the left menu, saying there's new game news. RSS feed is working fine tho.

You are quick.

we have seen it too.

The numbers are indeed fractions.
we will have it printed with more precision.

Several maintenance products have that same problem.

Andy, I think you've a floating point situation with the common market score.

Example: White Giant - Republica Cafetera

Common Market Score added to your Country Score: 489.0300000000002

Funny.
we normally limit the number of digits, depending on the variable.
this is weird.

andy please stop messing with the markets on wg your playing hell on my economy

We are getting EVs before Trains? If only I could tell Manny to see him flip.

So Does the the Laguna return? I saw you over on the Wiki, your planning to stay for a bit it seems.

I'm guessing since your dropping Manny's name, this is actually you? How longs it been?

I left in 2009, peeked in ~2014. I'm on my 2024 decadal drive by as we speak.

Welcome back, maybe we can cooperate on some things, since it's really quite here now.

-hymy-

Hallo! I'm making an effort to return to the game, and convince some to come along. The latter hasn't been easy, but I'll keep on pushing.

I'm unsure when I stopped playing. Looking about looks like 2013, but I don't remember playing past 2010. Sign me up for a decadal drive by too.

If you left in 2009, then we played together for some years. And your name does ring a bell, but I don't remember much. I do remember the IRC crowd though: Yankee, Claws, Genie... the Jozi Chats. Even to this day I'm unsure how to spell his name.

I'll be happy to help with anything.

I think I just heckled from the sidelines most of the time we overlapped.

My best days must have been 2001 to 2005.

Manny loved his trains.

I feared this was coming when I saw the shoes question.

we have train tracks.
I assume there are trains using them.

everybody goes by train.
no cost. Its free!

It reminds me of the Saudi prince who went to MIT and dad gave him 3 Rolls Royce cars.

after some time he wrote to his dad:

I don't need these cars.
everybody goes to school by train.

It was quiet for a week, then his father answered:

I have sent you 250 million dollars.
buy yourself a train and go to school like everyone.

We will also find out where the pictures have gone.

hahahahaha!
