Raw Materials industries available in V1

115 Day 248, 03:36 USA
Dear Citizens,

Following the [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-417211.html]good response[/a] that we have received regarding the API idea we have created [a url=http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Erepublik_API]a wiki article[/a] where you can find more details about the external application system. What we can say for the moment is that a lot of new modules and features will be created outside of Erepublik but stay connected with it.

In v1 we will also have available new economical domains and most important of all will be the introduction of raw materials. Labor and raw materials will be needed in order to create final products like food, weapons and so on. For example, if you are the manager of a hospital company, you will also need to buy stone from the marketplace. Citizens will be able to create specific companies in order to extract the raw materials with the help of their workers.

[a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-4549.html]Kaleb[/a] wrote [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-437761.html]an interesting article[/a] about the skills available in v1 providing more info and some tips.

Community coverage:

- A tutorial needs to be done in a fun way. [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-60301.html]Josef[/a] thought about this and started creating [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-438241.html]a comic tutorial[/a] He also offered a [a url=http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/8931/erbananim2vh2.gif]bonus[/a] for his readers. In Portugal, [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-10854.html]DomiBoss[/a] wrote the [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-420192.html]the manual of war[/a] for his fellow Citizens.

- [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-611811.html]el de antes de el[/a] celebrated 200 articles in Se Lo Que Hicisteis ( [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/company-92711.html]SLQH[/a] . Congratulations to him and hope this will motivate other newspaper owners to reach and outrun his performance.

- The 250th day in the New World is approaching fast (this Sunday). Special goodies will be available that day in Erepublik.

Best regards,
The Erepublik Team

stone was in Age of Empires 1 which is from prehistoric age, i think that ferro-concrete for hospitals or bricks for houses will more suitable for 21st century

but i think that raw materials is good idea and it will broaden opportunities of game

Please take into account that in order to support new industries new active players will be needed. If the population will not encrese current companies will lose some of their employees and many companies will fail!!!

Cristi Badea Día 248, 04:21

@Manthess: You are right but consider that you will need a company which will gather these raw materials. Stone, Iron, wood is consider a raw material, but ferro-concrete or bricks are not very raw, if you know what I mean.
@Zoli: Good remark.

@Manthess. remember this is \'only\' V1 - perhaps in future versions there will be intermediate levels of production. so Stone => Bricks => Houses

@yehovilia - you\'re right, which is why we are really going to need to have a better wiki, better tutorials and ingame instruction and tools for people to use. otherwise it\'s going to be too tricky for people to get into the game

I really hope this will also allow transfer of local currency as well as Gold. will it?

As Kaleb said, the introduction of raw materials will probably start a new era (a famous builder, I dunno lol )

Maybe in the future we will have a technology era or even one based on space exploration (then you could pick Layka lulz \')

There are no limits in eRepublik, the limit is our own imagination :´]

Won\'t everything stop functioning for a few days when this is introduced? Unless companies stockpile products. Mabye you should give every company some free raw materials at first.

A while ago we were promised that routine things like training and working would \'be much more fun\', any news on that?

Michael, I reckon the admins will give every company a compliment of raw materials to prevent a collapse like you described.

This looks pretty interesting, should complex the game a little more.

What I\'d like to see in V1 is more for the everyday citizen to do in order to advance in society; things like volunteer programs and community involvement.

 
yanezu

yanezu Día 249, 01:12

maybe you should add a special product for each group of countries, like oil in pakistan, indonesia , so every country should have a special product, so that the inflation can take effect... right now i don\'t see any effect of an inflation in erepublik because every country has ability to produce each product by themselves .

 
Napoleone
29
Napoleone Día 249, 04:04

yanezu:i think you will see more inflation depending on currency rate as soon as erep. country economy will be more \'open\', but this require some sort of \'country specialization\', course if you have only 4-5 product this cannot happen:once there will be more kinds of good(for example row material) it may happen we\'ll see this things growing on its own.adding \'exclusive natural resources\' will surely affect this trend, but i hope every country(and every region) will have,\'at least\' some amount of every row materials, in order not benefit too much one region instead of another one.

may be you may add different cost of \'extracting\' row material for each different regions, uh?

@Manthess: In the 21st century there are many places where stone is used to build houses. In the place where I\'m from, granite is used quite often, and roofs are made of slates which are also stone.

@ desertfalcon

i suspect YES not only \"more quantity\" but maybe, just like petroleum, there will be some particular raw material that could be ONLY in some places and not in others...maybe not in v1 but i think the aim is that one..to allow more strategical level of conquering, not only for BEING UBER...but for special materials... IMHO

Azimuth Día 250, 05:11

It\'s great and all but some workers in certain industries identify themselves as something other than the name of the industry. For example I have always worked in the hospital industry but identified myself as a doctor. Now with the upcoming changes I might one day wake up and discover that now I will be forced to be categorized as a construction worker. And thats not a pretty thought.
