Several new features will be added to Simcountry in the coming weeks and months
Raw Materials
Raw materials will become even more profitable. Countries that produce natural resources in many corporations, will become even more profitable.
The utilization of natural resources will be even much more profitable when players build their own mines on Tiny Atlas.
More raw materials will be discovered on Tiny Atlas and it will become the main source of such materials in general and especially for several rare metals that were added to Simcountry and can be mined on TA only.
These natural resources: Metadium, Baradium and Targon will become part of the production process of more products in Simcountry and owning these products or mining them, will become a strategic objective.
Robotics and factory maintenance products will require these products in their production process.
The process will be gradual, with very small quantitis to be used but quantities will increase in time.
These rare metals are available on all worlds but increased use will probably cause shortages.
Silver already became more valuable in the past months. There are severe shortages of Silver due to its use in Electric cars batteries and it will become even more important when Electric cars will become a larger part of the car market.
The share of electric cars as part of the car market will increase.
Mining and/or owning silver is also a long term strategic advantage.
Natural resources in TA
More and larger quantities of natural resources will become available on TA. The price of natural resources on TA is lower and fewer workers are needed in the corporations that produce them. This will be extended to all products.
Natural resources availability
Most natural resources are available in all worlds and there are countries with many unused natural resources.
Many C3 countries have plenty of such unused resources. These countries can be conquered and the resources can be exploited.
The C3 countries can also be purchased.
The purchase price of C3 countries declined recently by 50%. The price was also reduced before and amounts to 60 gold coins plus one gold coin for each unused natural resource that is available in the country.
It is easy to find such countries. There are many on all the worlds.
In general, the product markets and an increasing number of rare products are becoming strategically important.
All these products will be available on all worlds but the price might be high as we will allow larger price fluctuations with substantial earning potential for the sellers of such products.
On the other hand, Mining on Tiny Atlas will deliver the same products at a much lower cost with the potential of selling them on all other worlds.
We have made an effort to make it easier to produce on TA and deliver products much more quickly to your corporations on TA.
We will also further increase the trasport capacity of cargo shuttles and may do so again, to reduce the time needed to move products around.
It is also now easy to start muttiple transports with much reduced clicking.
The Supply Index becomes more prominent
Players are free to decide to ignore some of the products and tolerate shortages.
This is not a strong strategy because of the damage to the economy when the supply index sinks.
A low supply index is directly damaging the welfare of the country and reduces the productivity. It is also causing large numbers of the population to migrate.
Shortages will become unacceptable
Shortages of food products mean that people go hungry and the economy will decline very quickly.
Shortage in consumption products will damage the motivation of the workers to produce, the welfare will decline and corporation may bankrupt.
Shortages of inductrial products will damage the production levels.
