:hmmm: :dead:

I think you need to buy some guns from my newfounded weapon industry, how dare those miners complain?

Wait, you still dont have anything else to produce than those 3?? I just got my 6th thingie; cars. :D

Yeah, just the three at the mo, it's pretty much at random on how the questions will appear, although they might have come through and I've not picked up on them. :haha:

I finally got a fourth industry: lumber
Just my luck I get something with such a low commodity price. :shifty:

The more I play this game, the more I think that it was designed by people with no understanding of free-market economics. They don't even have a finance industry, and the value of currency is universal per denoted unit.

Most of the issues I get are things that no self-respecting "Capitalist Paradise" would even consider. Funding for the arts, for instance. No I would not provide it, nor would I lower it, nor raise it, because there is no reason why that should be a state function at all. Unfortunately, there is no option to let the free market regulate art, or healthcare, or religion, or business, or the military, or welfare, or any of the other sectors. The best I can do is dismiss the issue, and I have a feeling that consistent support or denial of issues of a certain type affects which industry choices you get (i.e. I got lumber because I refused to allow the public sector to interfere with private lands, repeatedly)

I hope that they fix these issues when they do the overhaul in July.

They did say they were going to be fixing much of this until the beta ends...somewhere...

Well, I applaud them for their beta testing methods. There is no better way to discover bugs than to test the product on a large group of people over a significant period of time, but I think that the issues they are wanting to fix have little to do with the economic model. As long as economy system is broken, this is going to be a broken game, given the premise.

This is what they're working on now from their FAQ

Make what you will of it

The game isn't supposed to be some crazy economic simulator too...

Mmm...there is something extremly fishy about that...
