what is new in this version (V6.4.01)?
Any bug fixes?

Hi David,

Many most welcomed features in this release. I'm particularly happy with price synchronization, the Factory Capacity Modifier and the UI improvements.

I have 2 questions;

1) I had taken the habit of delegating retail management to my COO because price adjustments were quickly getting out of hands. How will it work now with price synchronization ? For example: If I set the price Synchronization on retail and delegate stores to my COO. Will he make a price decision for all stores selling that product or will his decision override the synchronization setting ?

2) Now that we can adjust factory capacity, Is it possible to also adjust the Warehouse capacity ?

It fixes a bug with displaying person names when user-translated text is applied.

The price synchronization will affect stores managed by the COO as well. But the COO will increase/decrease the price, overriding the price change, if he/she thinks that the new price is too high/too low.

Under what circumstances do you think you would want to increase the warehouse capacity? Currently the warehouse capacity is already quite large.

Thanks for the clarification on price synch.

I had some issues with the Real World mod when trying to merge production of 3 mega factories into one large Warehouse. The Warehouse can't seem to keep up with the pace of production and becomes a bottle neck. I can try to recreate the problem and share a save file.

How about adding a "distribution centre" that has twice the capacity of the large warehouse. In addition, the distribution centre could feature multiple floors (like shops). Should only ever need a few of those really per city and I'd mod it if I could.....David any way to do that ?

Since this issue is mod related. The logical approach would be to request the mod author to add a mega warehouse to the mod.

But if you think there is a general need for modifying warehouse capacity, I would recommend that you create a poll for your suggestion to gauge the community's interest in it. There would be a higher chance that the dev team will implement them if the interest level is high.

You could see some examples of the polls in the Suggestions forum at http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14

It seems as though the script line for enabling multifloor retail has been disabled/broken. I have tried scripts as simple as just that line and it still does not work.

For multifloor retail, please use:

Retail Store Floors=<One, Multiple>
Set it to ‘Multiple’ to allow for setting up multiple floors in a single retail store.

The following is for the retail store type (department store only or many store types)
Retail Store Type=Many
// Retail Store Type=<One, Many>
