Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab Forum

Starting with Capitalism Lab version 12.0, a new option—“High‑priced Products”—has been added under the Experimental tab in the new‑game settings menu.



Normally, a manufacturing unit does not spend more than one day producing a product. When this option is enabled, products with a base price of $20,000 or higher in the game dataset or in mods, such as electric cars, will require a manufacturing unit to spend more than one day producing a single unit.

When a high‑priced product requires multiple in‑game days to manufacture a single unit, the manufacturing unit will now show a progress bar within the 3×3 area to indicate production progress.

Check out the following webpage for the full details about how to include it your mod:

Very nice addition! I just wonder how is the length of production calculated? Does the price decide how many days does it take to produce certain goods?

I have added an example to the webpage https://www.capitalismlab.com/high-priced-products/ to explain it more clearly:

For example, if a product’s price is $30,000, the number of days a manufacturing unit needs to produce one unit will be $30,000 (product price) / $20,000 (constant) = 1.5.

Cool, thanks! Makes sense (from gameplay point of view at least). Just to be sure: services may not be included in the new dbf file?
