suply chain icon -- request contract

Post by Guest » 01.04.2009, 14:18

Hi this morning in university i came up with a new idea i would like to share.. i Know it wouldn't be implement because it changes so much but i will tell it. i suggest there should be a new icon (except from sales, production and warehouse) that should be named logistics or something like this. there ,you could develope your own means of carrying your goods,(ships, trucks, train waggons) and you should send the products through them to contracts or to the market through them or from and at your production and stores. i think time could also be like production. ex a truck from france to germany should make 6 hours., a train 5 etc. plus there should be limit of weight or space..


2nd idea. there should be an option of request contract. now i can ask from someone for stones and if he haves he will send a contract and pay the expenses. i suggest that i can send a request contract and if he acceptes i will take it or he can cancel it and the requester should pay the expenses...
thats all for today.. i wait for opinions

Ummm, if it would take that long, I'd prefer not to have these changes. :wink:

Maybe an hour tops and it depends where your products were made
maybe the market can be in switzerland which is in my geogrphical knowledge central enough to the 3 red zones( shush i know it aint great but SHHHHHHHHH :P ) and so products mdae there could take 20mins to get there those in yellow 40mins and those in green 60mins :)

I would find it well fun, a new thing to trade? Transport :) Would be brilliant :D would slow down big players and let little dudes catch up faster :D

I see it as hurting the little companies rather than helping. Little companies would have to spend more money and time to build themselfs up. While large companies already have the income and assets to build/buy the methods of transportation rather easily.

Nah look at it like this, I make millions of gas daily, if i had to sell it all i would require many fuel trains or trucks or whatever. literally hundreds maybe 1,000... A small gas producer could have 1 truck and so he only needs that one. Then since he only has to build it once and it returns and he probably at first wont fill that truck up he can expand a bit then buy another then another :P See my plan ;)

i have to add sth to my idea... because the original changes so much of the game i came up with a new in the standards of game.. as advertisments are used in sale stores, trucks could be used in everywhere except from research building and a new building should make trucks to supply the market.. but the number should not be fixed and as you expand something more trucks will be needed.... this is not so difficult to impelent.....
