Manufacturing and retail expansion proposals

Post by stockrpg »

Hello.

1. What do you think about expanding the retail store from the existing three sections to six? I would like to offer a wider variety of products in a single store.

2. Similar to the retail store expansion, the goal is to introduce an expansion function for the factory, allowing a single facility to produce a diverse range of products and enhancing overall efficiency.

It is an interesting idea, perhaps in the form of a larger factory/retail store that was a lot more expensive but could also carry more products.

On the other hand if you do want a retail store that can sell more products, multiple floors already allows up to 12.

Another problem would be that the UI would probably have to be reworked to account for the much greater numbers of products.

Thanks for the reply

As I play the game, I think department stores and big box stores like Costco should actually carry a wider variety of products. To reflect this, I think these two types of retailers should also expand from 12 to 24 product categories.
