Natural Resources

More natural resources corporations are becoming even more profitable. The increase in profitability comes mainly from a small increase in production and no additional cost.

There are large shortages on the market in all natural resources and there are many unused resources. The increased profitability might make it even more attractive for players to start more natural resources corporations.

Natural resources on Tiny Atlas

Natural resources on Tiny Atlas are even more profitable than similar corporations in the there 5 worlds. There are several reasons for this: Natural resources corporations on Tiny Atlas produce more than similar corporations on the other worlds, The production price is lower and they use much smaller numbers of workers in the production process.

Tiny Atlas Start Conditions

Tiny Atlas is undergoing a major change. Several changes are now in place and others are coming into effect.

The population of C3 countries on Tiny Atlas is now over 20 million and growing. The population might reach 25 million.

The education system, the health system and transportation on TA are now at a very reasonable level the 3 related indexes are now around 100 and will end up even higher.

All C3 countries on TA now have large reserves of materials. These include all food products but also many industrial products and materials that are needed in the production of many other products, including natural resources.

These high stocks can sustain the population of the country for a extended period and allow time for the new president to arrange for transports that will be needed in the long run. text] The high stocks of raw materials make it possible for the new president to immediately start setting up new corporations and produce essential materials for the country and also start producing natural resources for export to the other worlds.

C3 countries on TA now have all they need to quickly start production and become self sustained in a much shorter period.

Cargo Shuttles Capacity

Many products now use less space in cargo shuttles. As a result, the capacity of cargo shuttles is in some cases doubled.

Many products will now require smaller numbers of cargo shuttles for the transport and will arrive more quickly.
we intend to extend this feature to more products.

Stealth Bombers in Counter Attacks

There was a question about the participation of stealth bombers in counter attacks even if it was not requested. The answer is, that you do not need to request these interventions. A country that is under attack, and has stealth bomber units, will always want these units to defend it.

We do not see any reasonable situation for the president not to want these units to participate in the defense.

too little to late from what ive read players have been telling you for months that TA was stuffed up,and while im in the mood whats with corps waiting over 3 months to be built on my leader (yes i have production plants)

leader Chaos on LU

Cryostatic,

I understand that you are not interested in TA.

But TA is there for some time and it is there to stay.
there will be many features, many additions and many new players who will consider their options and the challenge and will decide if they want to become very successful playing TA or do the same in the other worlds.

TA has a huge potential for very high profits but playing the other worlds is an excellent alternative.

As it is now, it became much easier to start a country on TA.
players will have a very easy and fast route to profitability.
I am sure that in the long run, and with many more features to come, TA will have many players.
It is very small with 677 countries.

"We do not see any reasonable situation for the president not to want these units to participate in the defense."

While I am not saying I want any change in how stealth bombers operate (I don't care since I've learned to adjust), there are reasons for having SB respond (in some situations). and times more often than not when you don't want them to. The most devastating is having your Q450 stealth bombers stripped for little to no loss to an enemy using probing attacks to draw them out for a literal slaughter.

I love Stealth bombers for what they are good for but, I don't care if you have 1000 170 bomber units most of us would kill them in min.s for little more than a corresponding number of clicks.

You danged sure do not want assembled Stealth bomber units while you are at war with another player unless you intend to disband them immediately after using.

If I was going to advocate for any SB change it would be to allow the initial construction of full 170 SB units without PB's rather than having to set them up and wait for a supply unit to haul in the rest. If your opponent is online and paying attention, they're dead before you can use them.

Anything that automatically responds with the current war engine is going to be the easiest and cheapest to kill unit in the game.

I was interested enough to try it. I spent GC to test it. My experience wasn't enjoyable, and by the time the improvements arrived, I'd already decided to leave.same old message from you every time

My frustration isn't that TA exists. It's that every concern seems to get the same response: "TA is here to stay and will improve over time." That doesn't really address the specific feedback being raised.

I also asked about corporations taking over three months to build on my Leader country despite having production plants, but that question wasn't answered either.

corporations are built each and every month if possible.

I looked into it but the problem was already resolved.

If it happens again, we will try to look immediately and see what the problem is.

we did not have such a problem that was unexplained by conditions for a very long time.
---------------------------------
TA

I do not mean that TA will be there just to be there.

we intend to resolve any issues on TA and make it possible for more players to go there.

please read about automation on the forum today.

It may not be for you, but it might be for others.

I am not sure how long you are here, but Simcountry was developed with a lot of comments by players and many of the features are the result of what players said.

sometimes it takes a while before results are visible in the game but we do not ignore.

we invite constructive criticism.
we love nice comments but criticism helps a lot.

we now have more players than before, who are critical but help us with their comments.

We also have now some more development capacity and hope to move faster.

Andy,Thanks for taking the time to respond. I appreciate you looking into both issues.

If the corporation problem happens again, I'll report it immediately so it can be investigated while it's occurring. Hopefully the upcoming TA improvements and automation features make the experience smoother for players who decide to give it a try.

Awesome Andy.

I look forward to testing the new shuttle capacity.
