Raw Materials industries available in V1
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.

Labor and raw materials will be needed in order to create final products like food, weapons and so on.
great ! \\o/
\"Citizens will be able to create specific companies in order to extract the raw materials with the help of their workers. \"
Cheers.
And go Josef
ehehe I´m famous xD Great news admin.
Nice one
Although, why would a Hospital need stone o_0
\"Although, why would a Hospital need stone o_0\"
if you prefer you can build an hospital in wood, but ours will be in stone !
Thanks Flammbar, and thanks admin for the cred, love the game and with this new \"raw material system\" it will be even better.
Oh, and the goodies on sunday... Can\'t wait!
Erep will be more difficult to play...
sound cool
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
oh, on Sunday good newss !! : )
@yehovilia: We took this into consideration and we will come up with a system that will improve the game experience of the Citizens.
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!!!
@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.
W0o0oooo0o0o0o0o0oW You Mean Just 2 Days
@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
Not enough citizens for this system. no ?
This is wonderful and exactly the kind of thing I have been wanting to see in erepublik. Thank you so much admin
Regarding the wiki article: \"So it’s simply 2 XML template forms “Transfer Gold” and “Withdraw Gold” \"
I really hope this will also allow transfer of local currency as well as Gold. will it?
sounds great, my speculations continue
@Kaleb: For the starting point of this system we will be using only Gold, after that we will consider the other currencies in Erepublik... maybe products too
what special goodies on 250th day?
great ! it will add deeper level of gaming experience, very very cool !!!
Sounds great great to me!!
Wow, We are waiting and waiting and.... it\'s so, so so so GREAT!!!! CONGRATS TO ALL EREPUBLIK TEAM!!!!!
Very Good!!
Nice!
Introduce a coup d\'état system!
Raw Material = At last an ecenomy boost.
Oh, Sunday I don\'t have Internet >_<
OK, I\'ll go to some place with WiFi
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 :´]
Great! I actually suggested this to the admins. I\'d like to think that it was my letter to them that made them create this system But I guess they thought it up themselves.
@BotherMe I did as well I was wondering why my suggestion was the only one on the page that had been ignored by the admin
Awesome!
I tought at this yesterday - when I hadn\'t read of this article!
Special goodies...
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.
Wow! very good news!
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.
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 .
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.
hope ly no extra bug on new version
Will raw materials be more abundant in certain regions? It could add a whole new dimension to wars if certain regions were more valuable then others.
i am waiting for tomorrow .
This is good to read*. But as I\'ve said before, hopefully you will put a few extra function on politics and media sections too, since I believe they\'re just as important.
moji chi sheero ver gofte?????/hosele dari miay ino mikhoni?????????
today is 250th day .
what is the suprize????
we\'re waiting...
I think the goddies are extra wellness, I just spotted a guy with 107 wellness
where is surprise?
Bien
@ 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
The surprise is... a q5 golden gun!!!
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.
On the other hand I received 10 gifts and only 2 wellness -.-
@Ramon Mendoza :
q5 weapon . only that
today is the 250th
yes, so whats up with the goodies?
Oh, u guys haven\'t noticed it yet ?
The surprise is... nothing..
SURPRISED ?!
Quiero mi bocadillo!!
Quiero mi bocadillo!!
Quiero mi bocadillo!!
I was wondering the same thing. Me want goodies
@Chiolas - there won\'t be technology in V1 but we may be able to intoduce some aspect of technological development through our own community-developed applications. I\'ve already got some ideas for how this can work.
hmm, while we\'re mentioning articles about war... i believe checking this one out would be a very good idea.
http://www.erepublik.com/article-371221.html
ALSO! check out ideas on a different kind of industry if it\'s not too much for the admins to implement, Armor Companies.
http://www.erepublik.com/forum-topic-50352.html
The goodies are a little late, you will find out why on the official blog later this week. Tomorrow each one of the active Citizens will receive 3 invitations and ... keep an eye on the top banners
thanks for the info
what is the suprize???? where is q5 weapons
admin surprize:
8 invitions = 40 gold!
hip hop hora!
The banner has changed from Bush, that iran guy and Putin to Kaleb, Dio Brando and Flashback, but I hope more surprises will come^^
surprize:
40 invite!
Ugh 40 invites? Are they trying to make gold worthless?
I stopped inviting ages ago... lol
They should have asked tho\' to be sure its okay with those involved.
Oh but I like it
If they implemented better ways of preventing multis, and requiring new members to be active before awarding the 5 gold, then I\'d have no problem with this.
admin plz stop! stopppp
80 invite:
http://www.erepublik.com/forum-topic-50602-0.html
0 -> 40 -> 76 invites. Stop this madness!
BAd idea with invites....You will just have problem with multi accounts (ppl will make a lot of accounts just to get gold....AND:
-gold become worthless
or
-50% of players will get banned)
THAT\'S SURPRISE! )
By the looks of it, its a cronjob gone wrong, adding +3 every x minutes
stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop
BB I hope its just a bug....because that would destroy economy around eRepublik
Its not a \"bug\" so to speak. A cronjob is a script that is executed every x minutes by the server, automatically. Most likely they screwed up the time intervals.
Super easy to fix...once they\'re aware of it.
BUG??
112 invites...

Yay, now there is a flag on the website logo. Happy 250 days eRepublik!
