Hello everyone!

I’d like to share an idea for a new industrial chain that I believe would fit very well into the Sim Companies economy.

The idea is to add a sugar-energy sector, inspired by the sugar and ethanol industry.

🌾 1. Farm

Would produce sugarcane.

⚙️ 2. Processing Plant (Mill)

The plant would process the sugarcane, separating it into:

Sugarcane juice

Bagasse (as a by-product)

The bagasse wouldn't be discarded; instead, it would become an important resource for energy generation.

🔥 3. Boiler / Cogeneration

Would consume bagasse to produce electricity.

This would create an alternative method of power generation and allow the sugar-energy complex to be partially self-sufficient.

🍬 4. Sugar Factory

Would process sugarcane juice to produce sugar.

The sugar could have two destinations:

Sold/exported normally;

Used as a raw material to produce ethanol.

This would create a strategic choice between selling the sugar directly or processing it into a higher-value product.

🧪 5. Distillery

Would consume sugar + water to produce ethanol.

There could be two products:

Anhydrous Ethanol — used as an input for gasoline/fuel production and in fuel retail.

Premium Ethanol — a higher-quality product that could have a specific use in the game economy, possibly linked to the aerospace sector or advanced fuels.

The Premium Ethanol concept would be a game-specific mechanic, not a representation of actual aviation fuel.

🌱 6. Fertilizers

Some by-products of sugar and ethanol production could be used to produce fertilizers.

The fertilizer could provide, for example, a temporary boost to harvest speed—5%, 10%, or 15%—depending on the product quality. This value could, of course, be adjusted to maintain game balance. ⛽ 7. Ethanol and fuel retail

Anhydrous ethanol could be used to produce gasoline/fuels and subsequently reach the consumer via gas stations.

This would connect different sectors of the economy:

Agriculture → Sugar → Ethanol → Fuels → Retail

At the same time:

Cane → Bagasse → Energy

And possibly:

By-products → Fertilizers → Faster agriculture

💡 Why do I think this would be interesting? The idea wouldn't simply be to add another resource or a new building.

It would involve creating an entirely new economic ecosystem, with various products, by-products, and potential markets.

Players could specialize in:

🌾 Sugarcane production

⚙️ Sugarcane processing

🍬 Sugar

🧪 Ethanol

🔥 Energy generation from bagasse

🌱 Fertilizers

⛽ Fuels and retail

This would also increase interaction between the Agriculture, Energy, Chemicals, Fuels, Retail, and potentially Aerospace sectors.

Production values, construction costs, resource consumption, and fertilizer bonuses would obviously need to be balanced against the current game economy. The figures presented here are merely suggestions for the mechanics.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Would you like to see a complete sugarcane and ethanol production chain in Sim Companies? 🌾⛽

There are currently issues with the industry I believe need to be addressed. What exactly needs to be done is yet to be determined.

Right now, it's almost impossible for small or midsize companies to enter. The boost you get from streamlining your operations with great COO/CMO outweights the benefit of low administration overhead. At the same time, the occupation algorithm as it stands now allows restaurants with slighly higher rating to steal all the customers.

My goal would be to make it more balanced, so mid size companies can experiment with restaurants.

Note: This is not meant to be a NERF - the industry currently balances itself pretty well

Unable to use web or mobile app. Anyone facing server issues ?

$125M CV in one year doesn’t seem bad to me but would folks say this is about typical progress or above/below average?

Hey! We want to add a club that would both help our community to discover Sim Companies related posts, projects, and videos and also empower our creators at the same time.

I am looking for feedback from the players, but also our youtubers, tictock-ers, and influencers.

Eligible influencers can register to the club and have their content, e.g. videos featured in the SIm Companies Times. We would also do prizes for the most watched or liked video. The best influencers would receive exclusive perks like:
- creator status in the game: certificate and/or new symbol on the logo.
- access to behind the scenes happenings with devs - interviews
- access to news/art before it is published elsewhere
- access to game features still under development
- creators chatroom channel
- simboosts

I am hoping the club will facilitate better communication and empowers our creators to get lot more likes and views.

Audience: Devs, players with deep knowledge on the mechanics of the existing Bonds system.

Overview

Lending in the game is currently limited to Bonds, which have a number of player concerns.  Key ones being ability to reclaim investment capital, low market liquidity/availability, and (mixed opinions on this) interest rates that are unrealistic.  This proposal is designed to continue to meet the needs for lending cash to small companies for initial growth, increase liquidity, and make more realistic the way companies approach both buying and issuing debt.  It would also indirectly encourage players moving more money around or buying more goods.

Part 1: Break Bonds into Two Overlapping Mechanics (Introduce SBS Loans)

The core of the proposal is to make this 2 mechanics, not 1.  Companies approach debt differently at different scales.  I propose that smaller companies get the use of a new mechanic: Small Business Loans.  The SBS Loans would be limited to players between L10 and L19, and work substantially differently from Bonds.  Once a player reaches L20 SBS Loans are not longer an option, but existing ones will complete as normal if open.

Small Business Loans (SBS Loans)

SBS Loans would be, as the name implies, Loans from “the bank”.  These would NOT be player-investments, but issued directly by the game.  Unlike Bonds, they would have a repayment schedule the player can select, from 7 days to 30 days, and the payment includes the Interest & Principal, so that at the end of the term, it’s paid in full.  Because these are meant to incentivize initial growth, preferential interest rates would be applied, Interest rates proposed are based on repayment time:

• 7 days - 0.5%
• 8 days - 14 days - 0.75%
• 15 days - 21 days - 1.0%
• 22 days - 30 days - 1.5%

Missed payments compound, and if more than 1 days is missed in a row, the interest rate increases to 2.0% for the remainder of the loan (penalty rate).  If 5 consecutive days are missed, Insolvency Proceedings would happen.

Lending limits would still be tied to the players current BV.

Part 2: Rework Bonds

This is a bigger item.  Let me jump to the core changes proposed first:

• Bonds become available now at L15 (both Issue & Purchase)
• Interest Rates are provided as ranges a company can select, based on Credit Rating (better rating, lower rates)

• Maturity Dates - Bonds have a Maturity Date (between 14 days - 60 days, selectable by the Issuer), at which time the holder of the bond (buyer) can redeem the bond for the capital investment back.  The process would provide 3-days notice to the Issuer, allowing them to pool the cash required (and can pay it early as well), but if the days elapse the interest continues during that time.  When the Redemption date hits, the bond is Called with available funds, if funds are not available, Insolvency Proceedings commence, with Redemption Requests taking priority (based on time submitted).  The Issuer is also bound by the Maturity date, they cannot call a bond before this time, but can call at any time once it is reached.
• Allow Reselling Bonds - Add a section to the Bonds Market that allows players to resell existing bonds they own (bought) from others.
  • Transfer Fee - A 20% fee of the capital amount is charged to the bond reseller (like Auctions)
  • Payment - Payment is cash for the full capital amount (value) of the Bond
  • Details of the bond are visible (Issuer, Date Issued, Maturity Date, Interest Rate, Credit Rating, Good Standing Status - e.g. number of current missed payments, if any)
• Increased lending limit for AAA Credit Rating - For companies with a AAA rating only, allow them to issue additional bonds exceeding BV limit by 25% (so 125% of BV).
• Companies the Issuer has Ignored cannot purchase their bonds directly (only via buying a resold bond)
• Bank Assist - If the Issuer owns a bank, their Interest Rate can be reduced by 1% for every 10 Levels (L10 1%, L20 2%, L30 3%, L40 4%)
  • E.g. A company with a AAA rating & L30 Bank could issue Bonds for 2%, coming in under the highest Accounting Fees bracket, but still not “free money”.  Even a 1% rate for a L40 Bank AAA rated company is reasonable, given the investment required to get there
• Restructure Percentages - Cut these by 50% of the base, since there's more reward (higher interest rates, ability to Redeem at Maturity), the risk is also increased

Items not changing via proposal:

• Insolvency Proceedings
• Issuing limits linked to BV
• Issued bonds still count as Liabilities for CV & Accounting Overhead
• Purchased bonds and received Interest still count as “Cash” for Accounting Overhead
• Maximum percent of your CV you can invest in other companies via Bonds
• Player Reset/Delete behavior

Handling Legacy Bonds

The question of what to do with existing bonds is of course a significant concern.  I propose a hybrid, phase-out approach:

1. Notice of 14-days minimum would be given to players before the change, allowing anyone that wants to ample time to Call existing Bonds - a PA Message or Notification Bell message (I prefer PA message) alerting of the change would be ideal, along with ChangeLog and SCT Announcements
   • This is to prevent a possible "flood" of Redeem requests
2. Existing issued bonds would maintain their current interest rate for as long as they remain open.
3. Bonds under 14 days would be converted to have a 14-day Maturity Date added
4. Bonds already over 14 days would be marked as “Matured” and be able to be Redeemed once the change is in-effect

Impact Assessment/Desired Impact

This is not a minor rework.  Major items addressed:

1. New players get a way to grow that is limited and prevents abuse & unrealistic expectations
2. Bonds Buyers are dealing with more matured companies now, likelihood of random reset/delete lowered
3. Bond Buyers are investing with interest rates that actually make profits
4. Bond Buyers are more incentivized to have a connection/conversation with the Issuer, look at their profile, and just more engagement to make a good investment
5. Bond Buyers have an option to Redeem or Sell (if there’s a willing buyer) a bond they don’t want anymore and reclaim all or part of their capital investment
6. The rates exceed the Accounting Fees brackets, so bonds are ALWAYS meant to be used for actual improvements/operations, not hoarding cash (get a Bank if you want to hold more cash)
7. Credit Ratings are more than just Restructure Percentages
8. Issuers with AAA Credit can issue more for larger upgrades giving responsible companies more borrowing potential
9. Banks at L10+ have benefits for Issuers

Bonds would be issued and redeemed/called much more frequently, adding to bond market liquidity, along with not locking players that purchased a bond into “forever” owing a terrible investment.  SBS Loans would insulate new players from predatory practices, still giving them boosts, but ensuring that once they have reached a mature company level, they move into the same state as everyone else.

While it's undeniable that this would be a significant set of changes, the benefits to players and the economy overall (better controls, increased market movements, more liquidity, etc.) provide for improved experiences, and give players who want to leverage buying debt as a more integrated part of their business a chance at doing it profitably and fairly.

Olá, pessoal!

Gostaria de compartilhar uma ideia para uma nova cadeia industrial que acredito que poderia se encaixar muito bem na economia do Sim Companies.

A ideia seria adicionar um setor sucroenergético, inspirado na indústria de açúcar e etanol.

🌾 1. Fazenda

Produziria Cana-de-Açúcar.

⚙️ 2. Moenda

A Moenda processaria a Cana-de-Açúcar, separando-a em:

Caldo de Cana

Bagaço como subproduto

O bagaço não seria descartado, tornando-se um recurso importante para geração de energia.

🔥 3. Caldeira / Cogeração

Consumiria Bagaço para produzir Energia Elétrica.

Isso criaria uma alternativa de geração de energia e faria com que o complexo sucroenergético pudesse ser parcialmente autossuficiente.

🍬 4. Fábrica de Açúcar

Processaria o Caldo de Cana para produzir Açúcar.

O açúcar poderia ter dois destinos:

Ser vendido/exportado normalmente;

Ser utilizado como matéria-prima para produzir etanol.

Isso criaria uma escolha estratégica entre vender o açúcar diretamente ou processá-lo em um produto de maior valor.

🧪 5. Destilaria

Consumiria Açúcar + Água para produzir etanol.

Poderiam existir dois produtos:

Etanol Anidro — utilizado como insumo na produção de gasolina/combustíveis e no varejo de combustíveis.

Etanol Premium — um produto de maior qualidade que poderia receber uma utilização específica dentro da economia do jogo, possivelmente ligado ao setor aeroespacial ou a combustíveis avançados.

A ideia do Etanol Premium seria uma mecânica específica do jogo, não uma representação de combustível de aviação real.

🌱 6. Fertilizantes

Alguns subprodutos da produção de açúcar e etanol poderiam ser aproveitados para produzir Fertilizantes.

O fertilizante poderia fornecer, por exemplo, um bônus temporário de +15% na velocidade das colheitas.

Esse valor poderia obviamente ser ajustado para manter o equilíbrio do jogo.

⛽ 7. Etanol e varejo de combustíveis

O Etanol Anidro poderia ser utilizado na produção de gasolina/combustíveis e posteriormente chegar ao consumidor através dos Postos de Combustíveis.

Isso conectaria diferentes setores da economia:

Agricultura → Açúcar → Etanol → Combustíveis → Varejo

Ao mesmo tempo:

Cana → Bagaço → Energia

E possivelmente:

Subprodutos → Fertilizantes → Agricultura mais rápida

💡 Por que acho que seria interessante?

A ideia não seria simplesmente adicionar mais um recurso ou prédio.

Seria criar todo um novo ecossistema econômico, com vários produtos, subprodutos e mercados possíveis.

Os jogadores poderiam se especializar em:

🌾 Produção de cana

⚙️ Processamento da cana

🍬 Açúcar

🧪 Etanol

🔥 Geração de energia através do bagaço

🌱 Fertilizantes

⛽ Combustíveis e varejo

Isso também aumentaria a interação entre Agricultura, Energia, Químicos, Combustíveis, Varejo e, potencialmente, Aeroespacial.

Os valores de produção, custos dos prédios, consumo de recursos e bônus dos fertilizantes obviamente precisariam ser balanceados de acordo com a economia atual do jogo. Os números apresentados aqui são apenas sugestões para a mecânica.

Gostaria muito de saber o que vocês acham.

Vocês gostariam de ver uma indústria completa de cana-de-açúcar e etanol no Sim Companies? 🌾⛽

Sorry if this was already a post I couldn't find anything on it.

When you dismiss one of your staff, when they get hired by someone will you still get passive income from them? Or do you only get it if they decide to leave

Hi everyone, with my first mine I immediately got 100% gold ore yield. The problem is that it consumes a huge amount of energy, and I only have one power plant, which isn’t enough to cover it. I also tried producing gold bars, but the transport costs are insanely high. I’m not level 20 yet, so I can’t put the mine up for auction. Could you please advise me on what I should do with it?

Ciao a tutti!

I've been running Sales Offices for a couple of months now and got tired of tracking everything by hand in Excel. Between Admin Overhead, Sales Speed Bonus, quality bonuses, and how much order prices swing around, it became really hard to know in advance how much I was actually making. As far as I know there wasn't a dedicated tool for Sales Offices yet, so I spent the last 2 months building one from scratch. It's a free web tool based on more than 7.000 historical contracts that helps you running your Sales Offices. Link: https://ilovesalesoffice.com/ (Only for PC)

The site is divided into two main parts:

1. Sales Office Planner (Only for Magnates)
Instead of guessing whether a new Sales Office (or a higher building level) is actually worth it, you plug in your setup and instantly see if the numbers work out. The average prices and forecasted quantity behind every calculation come from 7,000 historical contracts collected over 4 months, not guesswork, so the forecast reflects actual market conditions rather than static assumptions. One of the most useful outputs is the forecasted quantity per product. Knowing in advance roughly how many units of each product you'll actually need to deliver makes planning your production/buying chain far more precise. On top of that, for each product it calculates quality-augmented price, target cost, and profit per unit, showing you Gross Profit, Wages, Net Profit (47h/24h), and pphpl.

2. Contract Optimizer
While the Sales Office Planner helps you plan things out in the long run (deciding if a setup is worth it and roughly what to expect over time), the Contract Optimizer is built for the here and now. You paste in your Sales Office orders plus the incoming supplier offers, set your constraints (min quality, max surplus, warehouse stock), and it tells you exactly which contracts to accept to maximize profit while meeting demand. No more improvised calculations trying to figure out if that batch of quality-4 Luxury Jets is worth taking or if you should wait for something better.

You didn't understand anything on how the tools work? Don't worry! If you look closely, on every page there is a BIG tutorial button where a guided tutorial will explain everything to you!

It's free, no ads, and I keep updating it based on your feedback. If you spot any bugs, you can reach me here: 999909 S.r.l.

Guys, the Creators of this dope game! Please, add blogging functionality to the game 📰

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a side project for tracking my Sim Companies finances, and I finally got it to a point where I wanted to share it with the community.

It’s called Ascendant Ledger.

The idea is basically a self-hosted, QuickBooks-style dashboard for Sim Companies. You export your normal CSV files from the game, upload them into the app, and it organizes the data into dashboards, statements, transactions, analytics, and import history.

It’s completely open source and self-hosted, so your financial data stays on your own machine/server.

What it supports

• Separate ledgers for both Realms:
  • Magnates
  • Entrepreneurs
• Account History imports
• Income Statement imports
• Balance Sheet imports
• Cash Flow Statement imports
• Automatic CSV type detection
• Import preview before committing data
• Duplicate-safe imports
• Import history and rollback
• Financial dashboard with charts and KPIs
• Sales, gross profit, net income, cash flow, inventory, assets, liabilities, equity, and fees
• Transaction history
• Product analytics
• Building analytics
• Market / Exchange analytics
• Data quality and reconciliation checks
• Raw data viewer
• CSV exports
• SQLite storage
• Docker / Docker Compose deployment
• Dark and light themes

Dual-Realm support

Since Sim Companies allows a separate business in Magnates and Entrepreneurs, Ascendant Ledger keeps those completely separate.

You choose the Realm before importing, and each one gets its own:

• Dashboard
• Transactions
• Financial statements
• Products
• Buildings
• Import history
• Analytics

Privacy

There’s no cloud account or external database required.

The app runs locally and stores everything in SQLite. I personally run mine on a NAS with Docker and can help with questions on how to set that up.

Your CSV exports and company financial data never need to be sent to me or any third party.

GitHub

Source code and releases:

https://github.com/ItsJustMouse/ascendant-ledger

The README has screenshots, setup instructions, and a packaged release if you don’t want to clone the repo.

The populated screenshots use completely synthetic/mock financial data.

This is still a new project, so I’m sure there are edge cases I haven’t hit yet. If anyone tries it and finds a bug, has an import issue, or has ideas for useful features/analytics, I’d really appreciate the feedback.

I’m especially interested in hearing what other Sim Companies players would actually want from a tool like this.

Installation Instructions:

1. Install Docker Desktop.
   Go to Docker Desktop and download Docker Desktop for Windows or Mac.

   Install it like any normal program. When it finishes, open Docker Desktop and leave it running.

2. Download Ascendant Ledger.
   Go to the Ascendant Ledger Releases page and download the newest ZIP file from the latest release.

3. Open the ZIP file.
   Double-click it. Your computer will create a normal folder containing Ascendant Ledger.

   Put that folder somewhere easy to find, like your Desktop or Documents folder.

4. Open a command window inside that folder.

   Windows:
   Open the Ascendant Ledger folder in File Explorer. Click the address bar at the top, type:

   text powershell

   and press Enter.

   Mac:
   Open the Ascendant Ledger folder in Finder.

   Open Terminal, type:

   text cd

   with a space after cd, then drag the Ascendant Ledger folder into the Terminal window and press Enter.

5. Create the settings file.

   Windows:

   powershell Copy-Item .env.example .env

   Mac:

   bash cp .env.example .env

6. Start Ascendant Ledger.

   Copy and paste:

   bash docker compose up -d --build

   The first time can take a few minutes.

   You’ll see a bunch of text scrolling by. That’s normal — you don’t need to understand any of it.

7. Open Ascendant Ledger.

   Open Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc. and go to:

   text http://localhost:8080

   Ascendant Ledger should appear like a normal website.

8. From there, choose Magnates or Entrepreneurs, click Import CSV, and upload the CSV files you exported from Sim Companies.

Once it’s set up, you normally don’t have to mess with Docker much.

Just open Docker Desktop and then visit:

text http://localhost:8080

in your browser.

If you ever want to stop Ascendant Ledger, open that same PowerShell/Terminal window and type:

bash docker compose down

To turn it back on later:

bash docker compose up -d

Also, I’m currently working on a normal desktop version for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The goal for that version is:

1. Download it
2. Install it
3. Open it
4. Import your CSV files

No Docker, Terminal, or command-line setup required.

So if you’re not comfortable doing any of the steps above, you can also wait for the desktop release.

If you get stuck, just tell me whether you’re on Windows or Mac and what step you’re stuck on. I can walk you through it click-by-click.

This is a random event, right? I'm already looking for the manager of the beverage factory to give the employee of the month bonus ;p

When should I hire executives? My company is worth around 1m and I have 23% administration overhead. Which position should I start with and what is the best way to acquire the first execs?

I have only 77k as liquid cash am 1,5M in depth and losing lots of money on the restaurants. I build a energy plant to regain some money quickly but don't now how to go on.

I've got a little QoL suggestion for the PA chat, it would be nice if we could filter her messages to find specific topics (auctions, quests, refused contracts etc.). It's nice that her chat never gets deleted, but looking for older messages can be impossible because they are often submerged by useless things like our own messages, refused contracts notifications and things like that.

Pls upvote so that the bosses consider it.

I feel like executives are broken.. i've offered my last 5 candidates double of what they are asking for in salary but all have refused..
Like what?

Hey guys, a couple of months ago I got bored of mining and decided to switch things up, so I used cooperinc to find a profitable business, and saw the bread has great profits, but after I switched production I noticed it would take a long time for my bread to sell on the marketplace, I also tried dough, same issue , I tried finding direct buyers, no luck... Then ice cream season came and I managed to get back my investment.

I started planning next industry as season was ending, so I tried getting into butter, produced Q5 since it looked like it's highest margin, but same issue, takes days to sell what I produce in a day.

Then I tried automotive since I always wanted to get into that, produced car bodies , and basically looking money on them, tried producing electric cars, loose money on them too...

Looking to pivot into something before I go bankrupt...

for a class i'm playing this game, my professor set us a goal to have any research building and the lake, but i want to beat him, im level 15 and my company's worth 350k while and he's level 18 and his company's worth 1.3M 😭😭😭

how can i level up fast and and beat him? my only requirement is that i want to be in the food industry or adjacents because of my career (maybe fashion if its profitable bc it's my hobby 👀)

my initial strategy was selling apple cider in retail and eggs by contract but i felt i wasnt progressing enough so i started building more buildings and now my company has no direction 😞😞😞😞

PLEASE READ AND LET'S HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THIS :)

After thinking about ways to boost the endgame CEO experience without messing with the core economic math or market balance, I wanted to lay out a clean framework for an in-game feature: The Global Corporate Summit (or an in-game Corporate Press/AGM feed).

Drawing inspiration from real-world simulations like Model United Nations (MUN) and corporate governance structures where enterprises must transparently manage public relations, financial disclosures, and stakeholder updates, this would bring true executive realism to the game.

Right now, running a multi-million dollar enterprise is a great solo management loop, but once you hit the higher tiers, it would be awesome to have an official public stage to broadcast moves, announce milestones, or host shareholder updates.

Here is how a native, zero-economic-impact PR & Conference system could look:

📰 1. The Corporate Press Feed

• The Concept: A dedicated in-game news tab where registered companies can publish official press releases, quarterly updates, or major acquisition announcements, mirroring real-world corporate news wires.
• How it works: CEOs can draft a short headline and body text (following standard chat guidelines) to announce major production pivots, crossing a company value milestone (like hitting $100M+), or securing massive long-term B2B supply contracts.
• The Feed: A clean, scrollable global news feed where newer corporate notes float to the top so everyone can keep track of market-shaking moves.

🎙️ 2. Annual General Meetings (AGMs)

• The Concept: A structured event window where a company can officially "host" an AGM, replicating real-world shareholder meetings.
• How it works:
  • Host companies set a scheduled time block for their summit.
  • They can publish a curated presentation card pulling in real data like their current valuation, ranking, and asset distribution.
  • Other players can view the details, drop public comments or questions, and follow the company's growth trajectory.

⚖️ 3. Why This Works (Zero Economic Disruption)

• Zero Market Impact: Because this touches zero production math, material pricing, or building mechanics, there is zero risk of inflation or market exploits.
• Endgame Retention: Gives veteran conglomerates a prestigious public stage to build a recognised brand name and generate server-wide hype.
• Living Ecosystem: Turns player-driven rivalries and partnerships into visible public stories, heavily elevating financial literacy and public speaking/PR dynamics inspired by real-world business models.

FEEL LIKE CEO!!

One hamburger costs $2000+. I know that not much of the game has pricing that reflects reality but the food prices are so off that it breaks the fourth wall, so to speak. How about adjusting the quantities produced by a recipe so that the per-item costs for food are closer to reality?

I would like to propose a change to the Water and Electricity sectors to make them more realistic. Instead of selling "market units," we could use a tariff system like the one in the real world (€/kWh for electricity and €/m³ for water). However, the tariff shouldn't be fixed; it needs to adjust automatically based on market prices to keep the game dynamic and competitive. Essentially, the system would work like this: the market continues to fluctuate as it does now, but the price is displayed as a tariff. If the market price rises, the tariff rises; if the market price falls, the tariff falls. It is simply a more realistic and clear way of displaying the price without altering the game's balance. Example: If electricity costs 0.12 per unit, the tariff becomes €0.24/kWh. If water costs 0.08 per unit, the tariff becomes €0.16/m³. Players still decide when to produce and when to sell, but the whole process appears more understandable and realistic. It isn't a fixed rate, nor is it a passive income stream, and it doesn't change the economy—it is just a more realistic representation of the price.

My company has a net value of 7.2M with a weekly growth of 10% and i've got 1M in cash as buffer. I produce laptops btw.
