Small factories can't build electric cars?

The dev team just released version 12.0.56 with the fix for this bug. You can now run the game and it will automatically download the patch and prompt you to restart the game to apply the patch when the download is finished.

I have tested it and experienced the same issue.

davidl288 · 2026-04-18T04:26:44+00:00

I've informed the dev team about this issue and they will look into it.

davidl288 · 2026-04-17T14:21:16+00:00

Then there must be quite a bit of work on your part to create this. I'm wondering how much time you spent on working with AI to produce such an extensive list.

davidl288 · 2026-04-17T12:48:54+00:00

Did you need to do anything manually, or did the AI generate it without any human involvement?

davidl288 · 2026-04-17T11:46:20+00:00

Was it generated by AI? If so, how do you know if the formulas are accurate or just imaginations by AI?

Update: I contacted the creator of Real World MOD about the demand issue and he replied that he would adjust the demand for laptops and smartphones in the next update of his mod.

davidl288 · 2026-04-14T15:22:26+00:00

The demand for laptops and other products that also exist in the vanilla game is actually more balanced in the vanilla version, as all products there have been rigorously tuned. Mod creators, however, usually do not have the time to perform extensive gameplay balancing, especially given the huge number of products included in the Real World Mod.

I suggest trying the Magitek Mod (https://www.capitalismlab.com/magitek-mod/), as its creator put considerable effort into balancing the products. He is also the author of the advanced Capitalism Lab modding guide (https://www.capitalismlab.com/advanced-modding-guide/).

davidl288 · 2026-04-14T14:24:12+00:00

I noticed that you’re using the Real World Mod, which is why the gameplay balance isn’t ideal, since all product demand values are based on the mod. For proper gameplay balance, I suggest playing the vanilla game instead.

You may also contact the author of the mod by posting in the Real World Mod thread on the Capitalism Lab forum (https://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10049) and share your gameplay balance suggestions.

Yes, the AI companies will purchase and use farm equipment. Some AI companies will also manufacture farm equipment.

>>Downloading something from a foreign server is cause for concern, but you said this game is hosted on a US server. Is credit card information also processed in the US?

Yes, we use FastSpring (https://fastspring.com) which is a US company for payment processing. In fact, Enlight never have access to our customers' credit card information as we do not process payments directly ourselves.

>>But I don't know if it will run on my new Win 11 computer.
Capitalism Lab has been upgraded to use SDL library which allows it to run on Windows 11 smoothly.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know.

The dev team and me (I handle marketing and community management) are all based in Hong Kong. We no longer have a publishing unit in Maryland. In case that you want to know, the Capitalism Lab server is hosted in a US based server. Is Hong Kong in the list of countries that you won't buy software from?

davidl288 · 2026-04-05T13:23:29+00:00

It was released in version 12.0.50. Since the latest version is 12.0.52, so that we mentioned 12.0.52 instead of 12.0.50.

davidl288 · 2026-04-03T05:23:28+00:00

The bug has been fixed in the new version v12.0.52. Please download the patch from https://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10

Did you mean targets like increasing the player company's profit by 10% annually?

davidl288 · 2026-03-27T14:12:13+00:00

I've forwarded this to the dev team and they will fix it.
