Save Game: WMGP The Conglomerate

Post by williammgary1 »

I've reached a point in the game where I tend to run into some issues, it becomes very complex and I start thinking up a ton of ideas for improvement. So I wanted to share my current save game for a few reasons:

1. I want the developers to be able to see how someone could play the game to inform their design and mechanics
2. I always thought it would be fun for other users to take commend of a user's company
3. Get feedback on my operations.
4. David Any suggestions/feedback/ideas I have for the game I will likely reply to this post and attach a new version of my save probably will help me communicate with you and the dev better.

I always play Capitalism Lab the way the game was originally designed and advertised, you could build a Conglomerate. With the release of Capitlaism Lab I know they suggest you specialize but that's not engaging enough...at least for me.


Details
Capitalism Version: 5.4.22 Release
Mod in Use: RealWorld V11.26 (Find in Save Game Location)
Script: Not That Complex Script. Should be able to load without it...I think.

Save Game Location: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1koyFT ... xzOyM4BwQI

V2 (1-4-19) Notes
-Capitalism Version: 5.4.31 Release
-Bug: OS version is not matching version in Software Center
-Bug: New manufacturing for OS is resulting in a product quality of 0
-Bug: Factory description is not showing in supply selector for OS producing factory (possibility all software factories)
-Bug: Software price agreement policy is still ignoring the OS differences in the retail channel.

V1 (1-2-19) Notes
-We entered in the OS market because we saw the insane profits the OS gain was making. We started in the Fruit and Livestock business and have plans (somehow) to expand.
-We operate in all 15 markets for all of our line of businesses (AI never does that).
-The food supply chain we built locally in each market (farms, warehouses) this enables each market to operate independently (this has obvious PROs and Cons)
-We entered into a retail partnership with our subsidiary company Tata for Notebooks.
-For some reason I didn't realized I left randomly disable product this is going to lead to major issues for me down the line. (i.e. trying to get high quality electronic components)
-Need to build a super factory for Tata to provide dedicated supply for our retail channel in order to meet demand.
-We are in discussions with Tata considering selling their non-competing Software products for our OS (which took them FOREVER to port over).
-Our main concern at this moment is their ability to provide sufficient supply
-Our leadership has started thinking about acquiring Tata, any partnerships would make such an integration easier. (unknown how the randomly disable product classes plays into this)
-Save game desc of PA [City Name] = Price Adjustment where we go to our retail store in each city and adjust prices based on supply/demand
-Tip: Go to each market, filter by Retail Stores, My Firms, This city and use the toggle to go to each store. There's at least 4 stores stacking same product.
-Tip: I found that adjusting pricing based on retail supply/demand was more effective then doing it from Warehouse.
-Our OS/Technology supply chain is based out of our HQ city. We're hoping (i.e. Super factories) to be able to manufacturer everything in a central location and via warehouses (wholesale) distribute to the other markets.

If you have any issues loading the game let me know. Feedback, critiques, suggestions etc ALL Welcome!. I love this game :)

David,

I'm gonna classify this as a bug and the developers going to hate me :)

Bug

Backstory: I decided to proceed and stock 3 of my subsidary company's software products they make for our operating system Lindows OS. Their Animation Software, Backup Software, Photo Editor Software due to their high quality.

Issue: When I placed these products into my retail stores the "Price Agreement" policy went into affect forcing them to sell the products at $50 each. The wholesale costs were above $100
Why: The price agreement matched the company (Tata) and the product (Animation, Backup, Photo) with a number of retailers in the market but didn't take into account the OS that was in the retail environment.
Solution: Please modify the price agreement system for retail software products to take into account the OS the software in retail is set for.

This has resulted in a loss of a cross-promotion opportunity between the subsidiary and the parent company. :(

David,

In the Google Drive check for OSVERSION-INCORRECT-WILL_001

The OS version is 30 in the Software guide but 13 in production and the retail stores and every upgrade it goes down in production. Obviously, this is a major issue.

Still testing but did notice a weird issue in the HQ city where the Avg rating for the OS and software products are not selling if their overall rating is below the avg and its not affecting any other market just that one. In order to reach that overall avg I have to sell at a lost, I didn't have that issue prior to the patch.
