New Experimental Script Variables For Customizing Game Logic

Migration Rate Modifier=5
//It modifies the rate at which people immigrate to a city. 100 is the standard value. A lower value means a slower migration rate.

Disable Local Economy=Yes
//When the local economy is disabled, there will be no local competitors selling products and no local businesses creating jobs.

Firm Employment Effect=1
// The effect of firms' job creations on the city's total employment.
// If this is larger than 1, then for each job created by a firm, the city's employed population size will be increased by 1 x <Firm Employment Effect> times.

Public Facilities Capacity Modifier=10
//It modifies the capacity of all public facilities. 100 is the standard value. It also modifies the setup cost and operating expenses of all public facilities.

Please note that these script variables are experimental in nature and are not officially supported. In the words, if it turns out that they do not work out well after the experiment, they may be removed from the game or be changed substantially.

Fresh install of this version yields this bug for every product ...

Why does the products folder files even need a FILEINFO.TXT ... it's literally empty and serves no function from what I can see. I know it is used for product customization but if it is disabled why does it still require one? Whether it is enabled/disabled doesn't matter in this case however, it still throws this error.

I can easily fix this of course by just copying fileinfo.txt into every products file but why does it even need this to begin with? :| (seems it doesn't get properly auto-generated)

The problem may be due to the Windows system not allowing Capitalism Lab to write files in your harddisk.

To solve it, please try the following solutions:

Turn off the Controlled Folder Access on Windows.
For detailed instructions, please see:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/hel ... s-security

Change the setting from On to Off.
