Plato Had a Game Change with His Coffee - Unified Inventory

Day 1,210, 06:00 • Published in Canada Australia • by McMatty


I hope everyone wasn’t as screwed up as I was because of the time change (Ontario). For some reason my cell phone jumped 2 hours and threw me completely off the following day. There is nothing greater than rushing because you think you are late, only to find out you are an hour early.

Something the Plato must have felt too because he has since released a new update to the game we love. (Yeah I know, that was a pretty weak segway)

Plato has announced and implemented (in the same day) the inclusion of Unified Inventory and Money Accounts. Here is the copy and pasted version of the announcement and the Q & A.

Unified Inventory and Money Account

Dear citizens,

Today I am making you a gift. I am constructing in everyone's land a special new building:



Here is an example of what you'll see when you'll be accessing this Storage Facility:



Let's get familiar with this amazing building and its awesome benefits

Questions and Answers

INVENTORY

Q: What happens with my inventory?
A: All the products from your inventory will be moved into the new storage.

Q: Wow! So I can now store up to 1,000 items instead of just 20 items?
A: Until Day 1,250 you will actually be able to store an unlimited number of items.
But, to answer your question, after Day 1,250 a new-born citizen will indeed be able to store 1,000 items instead of just 20 items, as it can now.

Q: Will there be any capacity extensions available?
A: It hasn't yet been reached a final form, but capacity extensions may be activated for each company.
For example, each company might increase the total storage capacity with 5,000

Q: What else will be moved into the new storage?
A: All the products and raw materials from your companies will be moved into the new storage

COMPANIES

Q: It was really hard to use the products I created. Will it now be easier?
Yes, completed goods created in the company and raws extracted in the company are directly deposited in the storage.

Q: What if, after Day 1250, I reach the storage limit?
A: If your storage is full, you will not be able to receive donations, buy from marketplace or extract raw materials.
However, you will be able to create final products in your companies, as there are less products being created than raw materials being used.

Q: How will companies be able to function if they do not have raw materials deposited in them?
A: Companies will now use raw materials directly from the storage.

Q: Thank you! I was loosing so much time with making sure all companies each have enough raws.
That reminds me, I was also loosing a lot of time investing currency...
A: Problem solved dear citizen, all currencies are now merged in one unified money account

Q: And what are the implications of the unified money account?
A: Companies use currency directly from the unified money account for paying salaries and Income Tax will be applied only to salaries, no more Income tax applied to Collect

MARKET LICENSES

Q: The Storage Facility also has the ability of putting offers on the Marketplace?
A: Yes, you will now directly be able to sell, even if you do not own a company.

Q: But won't I need a market license?
A: Everyone will receive one license for their citizenship country (citizenship at birth for new citizens, current citizenship for old citizens)

Q: And what can I sell with that license?
A: Well, dear citizen, market licenses have just been made awesome: a market license for country A will allow selling any raw material and any product of any quality in that country.

Q: What about the licenses for which I payed Gold?
A: You will receive a number (let's call it "X") of FREE licenses to assign to whatever countries you may think is best.
X = Total Number of Licenses Your Companies Now Have - Total Number of Companies You Now Have

Q: How much time will I have for deciding to what countries will I assign my free licenses?
A: Don't worry about that, you may even decide to keep certain free licenses available in order to use them for the countries that will be implemented in the future.

USED PRODUCTS

Q: Can I also sell used products?
A: No, Used Products cannot be put on-sale or donated

Q: I had several used *insert item type and quality*. Now I have only 1.
A: This new storage allows having only 1 used item of a certain quality of a certain product type.

Q: That sounds reasonable. But what happened with the other used products?
A: If you had 2 or more used products, their durability was summed and, if possible, complete products were created, remaining durability after creating complete products being assigned to only one used product.

Q: Please tell, what house will be used daily and what food will be consumed by default?
A: The House/Food with the highest quality will be used.
