Currently, it seems that few mods in games focus on deepening the industrial chain; most tend to expand its breadth. For instance, a desktop computer should consist of three main components: the chassis, power supply, and motherboard. The motherboard, in turn, comprises the CPU, memory, and hard drive. Similarly, a smartphone should consist of the screen, motherboard, and battery, with the motherboard integrating the CPU and communication module.

Many products have the potential to deepen their development. The advantage of such depth is the lengthening of the industrial chain, which makes monopolization significantly more difficult—so difficult that it becomes nearly impossible for a single entity to monopolize the entire chain. This would alter strategic dynamics and allow players to gain a deeper understanding of an industry during gameplay.

Additionally, production equipment like lithography machines already exists as B2B products and could be utilized. Expanding breadth tends to cause a sharp increase in consumer demand, leading to reduced balance. In contrast, deepening development does not have this effect.

Currently, the production chains in games are not very logical either—it’s too easy to manufacture high-tech industries and major products like automobiles and home appliances.

Merhaba, fikirlerinize kesinlikle katılıyorum.

I think it would be great to add more depth to the industrial chain. I think one limitation though is that the AI is not great at stepping into supply semi-products. I would expect in this sort of mod, I'd want to be able to out source some items to other companies and I'm not sure if the AI could do that.

Its an interesting idea. Part of the limitation for me is on the imaging.

You may check out the Modern World MOD https://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewt ... =39&t=4235 which has complex and realistic production chains.

The Modern Mod does a very good job at this in a bunch of industries. It just needs more updating is all and imo an increase in limit on products. I enjoy the semi-conductor portion of the game and im hoping this alone could be a feature of just providing semi-conductors and not having a need for stores to sell them. Game needs more traffic, more eyes and basically more exposure. Hopefully that can happen someday.
