I don't see a separate forum yet for TA, so I'll just make this here.

I'm seeing a few weird things and a few limitations. It appears that production plants have a size of 999k. This seems to prevent them from being loaded into shuttles, even piecemeal, and they don't appear in the direct trading list. How are we going to get them to TA?

I see some people already have 1 corp or some small amount of buildings. How is it possible that they have these, given that structures can't be moved by shuttle either? Was there some kind of glitch with the market where a very small amount of these existed before anyone joined, and they just happened to be the first to put immediate purchase orders and got them? Doesn't seem super fair.

Help me out if I'm missing some functionality guys. I see a ton of shuttle traffic moving goods to TA, but have no idea why. I fit everything a country of 1.5mil needs for a month in 3 shuttles. Am I missing something here? To be clear, I'm aware some are moving weapons and preparing for larger populations, but even considering that the traffic seems quite large.

To answer the question about shuttles, a large portion of those going to TA are probably mine. I'm trying to seed the markets, so that when we are able to build corporations we'll have raw materials ready. For example, I've already moved over at least SC$1.5T worth of every mineable resource. Then there's all the manufactured goods and food I'm sending over too.

I'm moving a lot to bulk up my country.

We will add a deparate section for TA on the forum

Production plants cannot be moved by shuttle.
same as schools etc.

you must build them on TA.

the first corporation you must build is a production plant corporation.
You need to bring all the materials needed to build it and sell the materials from your country to the production plant corporation once it is built.
Then contract everything it produces to your own country.

you need a production plant to build a production plant corporation.
This is a bootstrap problem.
All countries in TA will shortly have two production plants.

the first corporation you build should be a production plant corporation!

Don't count on the market starting to run.
677 countries will then start ordering products that are not coming.

Instead, bring over everything.
products your population needs to survive.
products your starting industry will need to be able to set up corporations and start building.

you will need education facilities and hospitals.


if you build a corporation, immediately contract all its products to your own country.

I also made some big tranports.
Among others, I moved wind turbines over.
will not use them for a long time but they will help later.

We are participating to discover possible issues and will resolve everything we or you may find, quickly.

Thanks for the clarification Andy, good to know two PPs will be seeded.

Any ideas how a couple of players got some basic buildings and PPs to make corps already?

I do not think anyone is building corporations yet.

I could probably start today.

Some players have moved huge quantities of materials to TA and transports are running all the time with a large number of cargo shuttles.

In addition, there were some countries with some structures and even with some corporations.
These were in a bad shape and most have already closed.

there are not enough workers or professionals.
