- Discounts(75%)&Announcements. Near Sol. - 24 November 2021
The space strategy game being developed has its own page https://store.steampowered.com/app/1401110/Near_Sol A 75% discount will be available for Economica owners. Near Sol will be slightly more expensive than Economica. One of the main differences will be the appearance of factories. The economic cycle will be 1 day. There will also be changes in the social sphere. The POP-unemployed and POP-pensioners will disappear, a new pop - investors will appear (pop is a kind of citizens). A new state will appear - Mars and possibly some other state. Accordingly, there will be both domestic and foreign markets. States will not have their own AI yet. Now the social aspects of the game are being developed: migration, search for POPs of oneself (transition from one POP to another). Before that, the economic system was being developed. Therefore, write how you would like to interact with AI on these…
- Step to 4X - 12 February 2021
Well, now we have come close to creating a Space Strategy and are preparing to take the First Step. I hope we will do this together with you and with your active participation in the development of the game. !All changes described in the title are available in a separate branch (step_to_4x)! So what has been done? Changes in the types of citizens. The so-called Pops-plants were removed and instead of them Workers appeared as a kind of citizens and Factories as a mode of production. In the future, this kind of citizens as state workers will be united with ordinary workers. Thus, state-owned enterprises (Shipyards, Military plants (if they are of interest to players) and infrastructure) will compete for workers with private factories. Space engineers will turn into just engineers, and they will also be in demand by various enterprises. (work on this is now underway, as well as on planetar…

This determines the usable volume that can be filled with components. Then you can determine the thickness (in millimeters). The thickness and material of the body determines its strength and mass. The size of the hull determines the number of tiles of which the hull consists if an enemy shot pierces the hull, one tile is destroyed. If the hull consists of 10 tiles and 1 is destroyed, then with a probability of 10% the enemy shot will not be delayed by the armor of the ship. RCS effective reflection area determines how well the ship is visible on enemy radars, missiles can be fired at maximum range of the target's visibility. But at such a distance, the accuracy of the g…

Part of a citizen's income from 0 to 8 is taxed at 5%. On the right we see that it brings 12% of everything that gives income tax. If you click on the number 8, then you can replace it with another value. Income tax can be made flat. For this, progressive rate must be reduced to 1. Income tax is not levied on civil servants, as it is assumed that you assign them the optimal salary. When determining the tax, you can rely on the cost of needs (circled in green).

It determines the number of mechanisms that 100 people can use. When the culture of mechanization is 5,000, this means that 100 people can use 5 mechanisms. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F36819089%2F168a5c66608820aa393b50284b0409d421c5d64d.png 1 mechanism is equal in work to 2 people.
