Internal Upgrading
Most changes in this upgrade, and some in the previous upgrades are internal changes that are aimed at improving the site itself.
In this upgrade, we have completed a process that improved the working of the Simcountry portal that also runs the cargo shuttles movements.
The performance of the portal deteriorated in the past weeks and completing the work caused a major improved of performance and resolved the problem.
more internal work is done to improve security and more servers were added and will be added in the coming weeks.
The portal has all the needed capacity and will be extended even further to allow for much larger numbers of active cargo shuttles.
Profitability
we have looked into the profitability of all types of corporations and improved the profitability of a number of defense related corporations.
High Level Workers
After a recent increase in the number of workers that become high level workers in the previous upgrade, we have made another similar change to improved numbers even further.
as we explained before, changes must remain small and we cannot run the risk of overdoing these changes as there is no way to reduce the numbers of high level workers if there are too many.
we will now watch how numbers are improving but may need to make another change in the next upgrade.
It is close to impossible to predict the results of such changes.
Electric Power
Electric power produced with oil and gas slightly increased in price and production is slightly reduced. (About 3%). The power stations profitability remains unchanged.
The change is small but will make electric power from wind farms more profitable.
C3 Countries on Tiny Atlas
we have improved the stability of C3 economies on Tiny Atlas.
The population numbers that were kept in the past under 3 millions, are now 5 to 7 millions and a little easier in accepting more population and building corporations when a president is taking over the country.
Defensive maintenance products
The corporations that are producing these products are slightly increasing production. we hope that the disastrous shortages of the past will not return.
Profitability remains high and improved a bit.
The Cost of Defensive weapons maintenance
The cost of the products is reduced by about 3%. The change will cause a small reduction in the cost of the defensive army.
Spending
The spending limit is increased by about 50% for countries that have large population.
The change is implemented only for full members who are the owners of large population countries.
The change is introduced one day before this upgrade.
Worker Transfers
The maximum numbers for worker transfers are increased from 200.000 to 300.000. Transfers within an empire are twice larger.
Also this change is introduced one day before this upgrade |
