• Customs Duties - 14 September 2023

  A game update was recently released, and new mechanics related to foreign trade appeared in it. Clicking on the tab opens the duties menu. In-game tariffs can only be imposed on imports. And the export of any product can be banned altogether. When a duty is assigned, residents buy goods a little less, but not always. Let’s say a resident can buy 20 units of wheat, he buys 10 on the domestic market. When a fee is assigned, this part does not change. As for the part that the resident imports, when a duty is imposed, the resident’s interest in it is reduced. The reduction in imports is equal to the assigned duty. Therefore, I limited the amount of duties to 10. (In this example, the resident will want to buy only 19 units of wheat, since 10 = imports, which are reduced by 10%) Thus, the imposition of duties will lead to more money remaining in the domestic market! In theory. You can assign…

• Investors and the new system of needs - 14 April 2023

  Investors. Recent patches have added an investment process to the game. When building factories, investors look at the need for goods and the availability of resources. Investors are pretty stupid. A long time ago when the inhabitants began to migrate and move up the social ladder, they did it quite chaotically, and today I'm happy with how they do it. In 3-4 months, investors will also become wiser. When the factory runs out of money and resources, the investors give the factory some money. This is reminiscent of the spending column - "help to the poor", which also allows small businesses to restore work. Education. Goods. Needs. For the production of each product, a certain level of education is required. Now it also affects the added value. (In the future there will be a hint on the required education). It turns out that the production of more complex goods gives more money. Now peop…

• Cities and a common market. January plans. - 5 January 2023

  Cities The concept of cities came to me because I didn’t like the idea of Victoria 2, which is related to the fact that the more diverse the population of the province, the more diverse the goods the population produces. Is it possible to make it so that our residents are the same - of the same nationality, but they produce different goods? Thus the idea of cities was born. Cities in different areas are suitable for life in different ways. In a zero city on Earth, 2500 inhabitants can live, on Mars - 50, and on the poles (planets of all types) - 300. There will be a bonus in the area - a "convenient place" that will increase this starting level. To avoid micro-management, building on Earth will give you 10 city levels at once. Level 1 city will give a place to live for 1000 people, which will increase the starting level. In Antarctica, building a city would be an expensive undertaking t…

• Residents, production and plans for the near future. - 7 December 2022

  A little over a month has passed since the release of the game in early access, so let's summarize some results: * Nationalities have appeared in the game. Residents will move in search of a better life. And it will be interesting for us to find out where and from where the residents go.

• First Look - 1 November 2022

  Hi all! Space strategy game Near Sol is coming to early access. The main highlights in the game will be the socio-economic life on the planets and the ship designer. Planets can have multiple provinces. Cities are located in the provinces. People live in cities. Typically, this is a small business. For the appearance of other types of citizens, it is required to build factories or other buildings. The name of the first city in the province is the same as the name of the province. It's like an agglomeration or small towns, you can't build factories here, but you can build roads or infrastructure, it's like an empty space between cities. The second city is the provincial capital. Here it will be possible to build government buildings, as well as capital types of citizens and characters of the province will live there. The remaining squares are convenient places for building cities or rich…
