This is kinda my wishlist.
Here is my concept for a few updates:
- New! R&D labs. Has some extra money lying around? Spend some money on an R&D lab, they can generate many more research points than an office can, so there great for researching. They can be very expensive (Up to 5M) but they are worth it!
Other ideas:
Skill tree. Change research so it’s not just picking the best one, but instead you gotta decide what you want to prioritize.
Binning: Manufacturing isn’t perfect, so turn the defects into cheaper products.
Increasing costs based on inflation (Brownian motion with a random but sensible boom-bust cycle (linear) and changes based on tax changes).
Other products:
CPU:
New! Boost clock
New! Contracts from GPU makers for iGPUs (based on what the company’s doing)
Research technologies (Overclocking, etc)
New! Multithreaded
BASIC LOGIC:
Transistors
Block based drag’n’drop building. (Blocks made from transistors or smaller blocks)
RAM:
DRAM or SRAM
Memory chips and sets.
2 sided RAM research.
Start with SRAM, then research DRAM
Standards: For ex. DDR4
ROM:
Different types.
Singular chips.
Also, I would love it if you extended the campaign another 10 or 15 years or so including an option to start the company at basic logic IC’s or ROM in 1960, later unlocking RAM (DRAM and SRAM) (in 1965).
I hope this helps!
