MOD Scenarios

Interface Improvements
New background image for the “Out of Cash” window.

New icons for product Prices, Quality rating, Brand ratings and Overall ratings.

On the screen for hiring a c-suite executive, the game now shows the expertise list below the salary information.

On the Corporations screen, you can now double-click a product on the product dominance list to open its Product Detail window.

The Product Filter below the mini map – you can now right-click on the Product Filter button to set the filter based on the current firm's selected product.

The pollution icon below the mini-map has been improved.

When you disabled the display of all apartment and commercial buildings (shortcut key: Ctrl-C), the gray shades are now painted on the location where the buildings are hidden. The same applies to the “show filtered firms only” feature (shortcut key: Ctrl-F).

Gameplay Balance Improvement
Fine-tuned the stock price behavior when you buy and sell the same stock frequently.

The calculation of freight costs of industrial goods has been improved. It now calculates the freight costs based on the distance to the nearest seaport supplying industrial goods.

New Experimental Script Variables For Customizing Game Logic

[CES DLC]
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.

Mod Kit
You can now find old building images used in previous versions of Capitalism Lab in <Your CapLab folder>\MOD_kit\Images\Buildings (old)

They are included in the mod kit as resources for modders. Feel free to repurpose them for other building types as you see fit.

Is it possible to use the images in question "as is", so that we only need to install an "exe" to switch from one version to another as we desire?

Also has any work been done on making it so the AI doesn't just stick facilities at random points of the map ? This sort of facility spawning doesn't make much sense.

I will request the programmer to fix it.

Do you have any suggestions about the optimal way for the AI to place the facilities?

I will ask the programmer to look into it.

If possible perhaps like a realistic placement, eg fire stations would be in the city, the city hall would probably be in the city centre, but the gold course would likely be on the edge/outside the main city area ?

Also I like the change to show the expertise information on the recruitment window, is it perhaps possible to do the same with the personality information ?
