Upcoming business changes

October 15th, 2024, 2:09 pm

As you might have been aware, businesses have been unbalanced for a long time, especially special businesses. Not only do they passively earn money, but they also require no restocking, they cannot be robbed, and they belong to the owner forever as long as they log in a few times a month.

The plan is not to destroy business earnings. The only issue we want to address is the fact that the earnings require no effort and involve no risk. We will make further changes as needed to incentivize active business owners and reward those taking risks or making smart business decisions with increased earnings.

This post is mainly to announce this feature ahead of time, so business owners have time to prepare, but also to gather feedback. Depending on how things go, these updates might be deployed in stages, postponed, or scrapped entirely. While I cannot promise every suggestion will be implemented, they will all be read and taken into consideration.


Upcoming changes

Every business can be robbed.
If a business does not currently have an entrance or an interior, it will get one.

Every business requires components.
If a business is out of stock, it will continue functioning, but the government will step in with emergency supplies and the business will not earn any money.

Closed businesses can be broken into.
It will be possible to break down the door and forcefully enter the business, but this will be difficult and require a lot of time and resources.

A business can have security levels.
This will reduce the amount of money that can be stolen, alert the cops sooner, and make breaking into and robbing it more difficult and take longer.

Special businesses will always work.
If the business offers a special service, it will continue working even when it's closed, but it will not earn any money.

Can be tied to # of robbers needed to initiate robbery and also fpoints received from the robbery

Or this can be tied to trucker job so that has more meaning and generates income for Truckers as well.

Make business fees higher and it deducted from the hourly income of the business not from the player playtime, as long as the business running the fee should be paid

I just released an update that adds warnings for business owners and temporarily caps business robberies at $1m. These warnings are just rolled out in advance, your businesses will still function the same for now.

These changes will go live in 1-2 weeks after the business owners had time to adjust accordingly.

this guy is doing a good job, people hate changes especially when they aren't going their way.

With the changes you can't make everybody happy, you just gotta do whats right.

Starting tomorrow, businesses will no longer earn if it's out of stock. Every business is also robbable again (including the government ones) without limits. The amount robbed will be a random percentage between 10% and 15% of the business till.

We're still working on the security levels and breaking into closed doors.
