W3C - Game update Dec. 9, 2021

Corporate Orders

Many times, corporations place orders and these orders are not executed due to shortages on the market.
The solution for players is to replace these orders by immediate orders, pay more but keep the corporations in production.

The replacement process requires many clicks, replacing orders one by one, in many corporations.

The Order tab on the corporations page, was until now, used to allow players to cancel corporate orders.
canceling corporate orders however, is not done a lot and the tab was hardly used.

we have now added order replacement by immediate orders to the Orders tab.

you can now use the Orders tab to replace outstanding corporate orders by immediate orders and you can do this with a single click for any number of such orders.

If the cash flow of the corporation is insufficient, an order will not be executed but will be replaced by an immediate order that will be executed in the following month.

Our testing showed that in nearly all cases, all outstanding orders were executed in a single action.

Sorting Corporations

The command to sort corporations disappeared by mistake from many pages showing lists of corporations.
the problem is resolved and the sorting is back on these pages.

Defense cost not adding up

We had a complaint on the forum, about the total defense cost that did not show the true sum of the defensive, offensive and strategic armies.
It only happened in accounts in their first 180 days.

The problem is now resolved.

Computing the numbers of unemployed in shortage situations

A very old error is fixed that influenced the numbers of unemployed, especially when these numbers became very low.
we have fixed this problem and hope that shortages of mainly high level and medium level workers will be reduced.

High Level Workers

More changes in some corporations will reduce the shortage of high level workers a bit more. we hope that this kind of changes are drawing to an end.


Some page updates did not come through in this upgrade.
They will be included in the next upgrade.


The upgrade already took place on Kebir Blue.

All other worlds will be upgraded in the coming hours.

Huzzah!

Thank you Andy.

Hi. The immediate orders on the orders tab is a nice one, but even better would it be to being able to automate it as part of the order strategy imo. Like "in case of stock of supply X hits less than 1 or lower of the monthly use of 1 month, convert to immediate order immediately".

Really nice update, the new Orders page is a significant improvement and im sure will benefit many players- me included, thank you! I like neutralsc suggestion of building that into the order strategy, personally i'm not sure I would use it as it could significantly increase supply costs but I would love to test it out, and it could provide players greater flexibility in managing their corporation supply.

Also, thank you for adding the sort by field back onto the all corporations page, I have really missed that. I know this has been asked somewhere else, but it would be so helpful to have a toggle on the shares pages to select or deselect all shares. At the moment if you want to either sell or purchase shares from public corporations in your investment portfolio you need to either do for ALL corporations or one by one which is time consuming and I think could be easily improved.

Thank you

There is a feature that automatically convert orders into immediate orders under certain conditions.

I will look at these conditions.
The cost of immediate orders is higher. the procedure should not be trigger happy.

I will look into the shares page too.

we have many many things we want to improve.
