New Icon Mode for Build Firm Menu

New graphical interface for the Build Firm menu, improving the overall UI aesthetic.

You can switch between text mode and icon mode by clicking the toggle button below the Build Firm menu.

New Feature for the Experimental DLC: Built-in Advertising Unit

This new feature allows you to advertise products individually with a built-in advertising unit that does not occupy any space in the 3x3 layout in your retail stores, factories, farms and warehouses.

Gone are the days when you could only set one ad budget with media for all the products you were promoting. Built-in ad units now allow you to set different ad budgets for different products.

Previously, players would rarely run advertising from a factory due to space constraints. Now you can easily advertise from your factory. This will open up new possibilities for gameplay and strategy.

Improved Convenience Store building
Added the “Open 24h” sign to make it look even more eye-catching. 

Interface improvements
Added an icon on the Manufacturer guide – hover it to show the types of retail or service firms that can sell the current product.

On the in-game option menu (shortcut key “O” to open it), there is a new option that lets you change the interface behavior of right-clicking anywhere on a window to close it. This option will be useful to users who found right-clicking on [+][-] spinners too often unintentionally closing interface windows.

MOD Downloader
The game can now download the Real World Mod from within the game and install it for you in the background. To do this, open the Mod menu and click on the Real World Mod banner that is initially grayed out.

Speech for Tutorials and Scenario Descriptions
All tutorials and scene descriptions now have text-accompanied speech.
NOTE: Since the voices are only in English, the game will automatically disable voices when the game is running in non-English languages.

Inclusion of User Translated Text in the Game Installer
We implemented a new feature that allows users to choose from available translations.

To change the language, select [Settings] from the main menu, then click the [Language] tab and select a language.



The translated texts in different languages will be included in the official Capitalism Labs installer so that users do not have to download the translation files separately.

Included in the installer, translation files for different languages will be placed in the appropriate subfolders under <Capitalism Lab folder>/Languages. (For example <Capitalism Lab folder>/Languages/Dutch contains Dutch translation files.)

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.

Auto Empire Mod by JackBristow

This mod expands on the Automobile class, adding 20 different models with more complex manufacturing, lots of overlapping parts, such as a sedan chassis with a V8 and better tires to make a muscle car. All the way from subcompact to carbon fiber hypercars!

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.)
