Capitalism Lab version 12.0 adds more Dynamic In-Game Speeches. The speeches now respond better to economic events in the game. Major Milestone Celebrations: New speeches that recognize your company's biggest achievements… or setbacks. Reaching (or losing) industry leadership now triggers special announcements. Examples: “Your company is now the leader in retail.” “Your company is now the leader in manufacturing.” These small but meaningful touches make every playthrough feel more dynamic and immersive. If you haven’t updated to Version 12.0 yet, you can download it here: capitalismlab.com/version120/

Introducing Industrial Genesis MOD This mod’s goal is to make the economy feel closer to real industry: products don’t get better just because you keep researching the product itself, instead they get better because you develop the underlying technologies, processes, and materials know-how that make improvement possible. The result is a game that’s challenging, more strategic, and a lot more satisfying when your company finally pulls ahead. What Industrial Genesis changes (the idea, not just the content) 1) R&D becomes capability-driven, not grind-driven Instead of “Research product = better product,” your progress depends on researching technologies for said product, which unlocks the product for manufacturing and improvements. That means: [*] You can’t brute-force your way into every market early by just placing a R&D down, selecting a product and leaving it there to research. [*] Specializing in certain products like Computers is advantageous since technologies required stay within a category and some are shared between the products in the same category. If you want to create other products, you'll have to research complete new technologies. 2) Realistic(ish) pricing and profitability — in both B2B and B2C Industrial Genesis aims to keep prices grounded and margins believable: B2B: components and inputs must be profitable without making final goods trivial. B2C: consumer products still have room for brand/quality strategy and competitive pricing. 3) Manufacturing inputs are being rebuilt to reflect reality Products are increasingly tied to materials that make sense (and materials that actually impact quality). That makes: [*] sourcing decisions meaningful, since materials will also require specializing in certain technologies to be better at making them. [*] vertical integration more interesting. What’s included right now (v1.0.0) This first release establishes the foundation: [*] New vehicles [*] New electronics [*] A new category: Computer Parts [*] Some technologies have been created, not all new items added/Vanilla items require a technology be researched. Mainly the new Category and new Semi product would be the only one with this feature as of now. Download the Mod from: capitalism2.com/forum/viewtopi…

New Feature: Farm Equipment in Capitalism Lab post-release beta version 12 Farm Equipmentis a major new feature in the Experimental DLC, designed to introduce greater realism and strategic depth to agricultural management. In the base game, product quality is driven entirely by training and leveling up farming units. With the Farm Equipment system enabled, these bonuses are intentionally reduced, making specialized farm equipment essential for achieving higher productivity and premium‑quality outputs. The system also opens up lucrative B2B manufacturing opportunities. Companies can build their own farm equipment factories to supply the market or support their own farms. For large agricultural operations, vertically integrating into equipment production becomes a powerful strategic advantage, allowing you to capture profits internally and strengthen your position across the entire farming supply chain. 👉 See the full details of the Farm Equipment feature: capitalismlab.com/farm-equipment/ 👉Download post-release beta version 12.0.55 now from capitalism2.com/forum/viewtopi…
