W3C - Features Promised. Partially done. More coming

We have published wish lists and plans from time to time.

Many of the promised features are now part of Simcountry but some are not done yet. Some new items were also implemented, including the country reports.

The following is our Current short term plan:

1. Finishing the automatic trade function that will make it possible to set automatic trading between a country and its corporations.
This major feature will make it very simple to supply products to corporations on Tiny Atlas but players will be free to use the same feature on the other worlds.
It will substantially reduce the number of clicks that are needed to move products from the country to all the corporations that are using them.

We expect this to become part of Simcountry in May.

2. Tabs on the transportation pages. promised before and not implemented yet.

3. Sales limits will be dependent on the size of the population of countries. <

Wow Andy fantastic news. Good job everyone,
Rob

hell yeah

Good News!!

Thank You Andy.

Thanks for the update.

Another request:
Can we make all natural resources available on TA?
There is a large shortage of those goods on all worlds.

Thanks for the positive reaction to our words.
Now we need to translate these words into action.

Our current thought on raw materials from TA is that there is a giant opportunity in producing these products on TA and making huge profits by selling them everywhere.

they are not only available on TA in large quantities, the production costs are also lower and the price there is lower.

We have made the supply of TA countries easier and will introduce a function that will make supplying corporations there much easier. (high on our short term development plan).


The idea is to make TA easier to play and add more benefits to production on TA.

May I suggest adding "profitability of Electric Cars Motors" to the list? There is currently a massive shortage of this product on WG, affecting production of e-vehicles, but there is little incentive to start motor corps since they will lose money at maximum market price.

The corporate model for these corporations is very profitable even compared to most other products.

They do use Metadium.
are you sure they have all the raw materials they need.

If the corporation has everything it needs then please give me the name of the world, country and corporation name and I will look into it.

What I did was click on the product, "Electric Cars Motors", then click on "Buy corporation that produces Electric cars motors". Then I get a list of 36 corps on White Giant, of which 29 lost money last month.

This is one of mine, so I think the ones you see are doing something else.

I think you are showing the data for an Electric Cars corp, hymy, and Boutros is talking about the Electric Car Motors.

Electric Cars Motors corps have a problem because Metadium will typically be at 120 quality, which will ruin the output quality along with profitability.

The same applies to all corps that use the exclusive TA resources.

The way the final output quality is calculated based on upgrades and supplies needs to be changed.

Sorry misread it completely, yes electric car motors corps are for the dogs. Don't build those unless it's to supply a electric car corp.

To come back to my natural resources point,

I understand that TA is rich on resources, but some resources have no deposits at all in TA. The main case here being Potassium, which is a key good in the Food supply chain. The presence of Potassium in TA would go a long way in making countries there viable.

As one of the largest players there. The order of highest imports is OIL, Wood and then Potassium. There may be oil, but there isn't nearly enough.

The problem with oil is that it requires, and gas has to be imported from off planet. so unless one plans for that ahead of time, oil is out of the picture.

In my opinion, TA needs to either have all natural resources available on planet *or* countries need to start automatically purchasing goods. We currently have no demand and limited supply. That doesn't make the economy very fun, and to be honest, its painful.

If the exit-point of the TA economy was supposed to be exporting the unique minerals, thats fine, but the lack of functionality on that planet has lost its novelty in my opinion and now it just makes playing tedious as heck.

I know there are some updates coming along that should make managing things easier, but there's still no one to sell goods too and exporting that amount of volume isn't feasible.

Forcibly handicap the c3 countries if needed to keep it a wholly player-run economy, but

I looked at electric car motors and indeed, many make losses.

The reason is that there is an oversupply and the price declined.

If you have an example of an electric car motor corporation where the price did not decline because of oversupply, please let me know and I will look into it.

I will look into potassium Oil and Gas on TA.

In KB, the price for Electric Cars Motors is now at cap. Corps are still registering losses. As I mentioned before, this is because Metadium comes in at 120 quality and the way the quality function works.

Could you please have a look, Andy?

is there a way yto get professional soldiers besides direct trade? no one has any for sale on direct trade and im not sure how else to earn them

Considering how difficult it is to run a country on Tiny Atlas, it would make sense for Tiny Atlas exclusive resources, and their immediate products ie Electric Car Motors, to have extremely large profit margins.

While such corporations already make above average profits under optimal conditions, the nature of Tiny Atlas means that conditions are never optimal. Giving these products LARGE base profit margins, would help make producing them and shipping them to other worlds worthwhile.

Laguna,
I will look into the electric car motors corporations.
is there a specific country, corp name I should look at?

Marion,

This is in fact the way to get them.

Daniel,

I will look at the potential profitability of these corporations and the advantage of producing them.
It should be very profitable to produce them on all the worlds if you have the raw materials needed for the production.

Hi Andy,

I expect all corps to be registering a low profit or losses. You can take a look at any of the Electric Cars Motors in my enterprise Rain.

This corp was picked at random: https://sim01.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwCountry&SN_METHOD=ccorp&miCorpNumber=1944017

There is a 60 million surplus of electric motors.
All your corporations producing it are hardly able to sell and the price is declining.

The price of the product on LU is 3 times higher with a shortage of several billions. There are more worlds with shortages.

The corporation standard model is very profitable.
one of the highest.

There are worlds with an oversupply.

with these complaints, I will reduce production a bit and increase the price e bit, to keep the profitability.

It will be part of the upgrade this weekend.

Thanks!

Electric Cars Motors on WG currently (July 5260) has a shortage of 140 million+ units, market price is capped out at 7,550 SC$ and has been so for two game years. When I click on "Buy corporation that produces Electric Cars Motors" there is about 6 out of 42 corporations that recorded a profit last month.
