The Main Menu has been partially redesigned. The DLC and MOD buttons have been integrated into the core main menu area.

Acquire Companies That Are Facing Bankruptcy

If the setting shown in the below screen is enabled, when a company is on the brink of bankruptcy, you will be given the option to rescue it by acquiring all the shares of the company.

Chances are that you may find value in some distressed companies that can be acquired at very low costs, such as technologies that complement yours.

When a company is heading towards bankruptcy, the following window will appear asking if you would be interested in acquiring it.

5) Improvements

Added a [Very Low] option for the City Initial Cash Level setting on the New Game Setting menu’s City Economic Simulation DLC page. Cities will have a higher tendency to issue bonds with this setting.

The interfaces of the Purchasing Unit and the Inventory Unit have been improved.

When an AI person offers to buy stocks from the player, if the player rejects the offer, the same AI person will not ask again until at least 6 months later.

a) [SPECIAL RULES]
Retail Cost Modifier=<50 to 500>

RealWorld MOD by Piermario

The RealWorld Mod is the most popular mod for Capitalism Lab, with over 600 products and 900 customized product images, plus lots of new logos and portraits. It is the essential mod that we recommend to all Capitalism Lab players.

Capitalism World Mod by Arcnor

The Capitalism World Mod uses the mod system in a truly creative way, adding an amazing array of new industries to the game, including airlines, insurance, banking and telecommunication, electric cars and even rockets (yep you can build your own SpaceX).

Modern World Mod by Saffgee

The Modern World  Mod adds an unbelievable amount of product depth, manufacturing chains and retail specialisation and tries to replicate how a modern, modular corporation may need to go about its business, whilst still using some of the games conventions to find creative problem work-around’s.

Video Game Thumb Candy MOD by BioBiro

While there is no shortage of games on the market that let you manage a video game development company, none of them matches this mod in terms of offering you an unique opportunity to produce video game console hardware and dominate the video game software market at the same time (imagine a behemoth company combining Sony and EA.)
