A new MoneyGame update has just been released.
Changes to Retail Stores
Retail stores can now only sell in the local currency of each store location. Retail store owners can create offers for either each piece of land individually or all land in a city. If both a city and a land specific offer exist at the same time, the land specific offer takes precedence.
A new Minimum Purchase option has also been added. It is the total purchase amount that is compared against the minimum purchase value of each purchased item.
The Droid purchase values have been adjusted per @Monke's calculations. Droids will purchase items in each city based on the city's population.
Problems with the custom selling amount limits have been fixed when editing existing retail store offers and when the amount limit reaches 0 due to sales.
Important: Due to the new system being different from the old, all active retail store offers have been cleared and retail store owners must create new offers. You can temporarily see a list of your previously active offers on the company management page.
Changes to Hiring of Directors/CEOs
Hiring a new Director or CEO to a company now requires the player to accept the job within 24 hours under Dashboard > Companies & Jobs. There is also a notification shown on your Dashboard for any pending decision maker job offers. When creating a shareholder hiring decision for a player that is already hired for the position, the wage and permissions will be updated immediately and no acceptance is required. Pending decision maker job offers are listed under the Decision Makers tab on the company's public page, and on this page the company CEO can also cancel any pending decision maker job offers.
Forum & Newspaper BBCode Update
The BBCode parsing for both forum posts and newspaper articles have been unified, so all BBCode tags are available for both. New BBCode tags spoiler, code and list have been added.
The forum post and newspaper editing forms now have more direct buttons for applying BBCode tags, and a link to the new Game Manual article that lists all available tags with examples has been added.
The image tags have been limited so that only whitelisted image domains are accepted, currently imgur and File Garden.
Newline issues with the table tags have been fixed, and wide tables have been made horizontally scrollable on mobile devices.
Updates to Company Financials
The Company Financials table now includes sums from the following events:
- Dividends (in Money sent or Money received)
- IPO (in Purchases)
- Auction bidding (in Purchases)
- Auction sales (in Sales)
- Private trades (in Purchases or Sales)
Decision makers now officially receive a Salary instead of a Wage. This is merely a change of wording, the functionality itself remains the same as before. The Company Financials table has a new row for decision maker salaries, separate from worker wages.
Note that these changes will apply to Company Financials values calculated from this month onward.
Auction Changes
Players with less than 5% remaining health can no longer create or bid on auctions.
When an auction has less than 2 minutes remaining, any new bids will extend the auction to last for at least another 2 minutes. Bids made in the last 2 minutes must outbid the existing bid by at least 5%!
Gambling Statistics
A new Gambling Statistics page has been added under the Gambling section. You can view statistics for your all time total or per-month gambling in each currency.
All lottery rounds from before this update are included in the statistics, but for Blackjack and Slot Machine the history only includes stats from up to 6 months before this update.
Automatic Firing System
Production companies can now choose to automatically fire workers that reach a certain limit of unworked days in a row or have a too low working percentage after at least 4 days with the job. Press the Manage Automatic Firing button on the company management page to adjust these limits to your liking.
