Guide for supporters
Hello and thanks for supporting or wanting to support the game!
The supporter package is intentionally not designed to be Pay2Win, but to help the developer, Patrik, to keep the lights on. You don't get any game-decisive advantages compared to non-supporters!
The advantages / features in an overview:
Building linking
Linking buildings allows companies to run multiple buildings of the same type and product at the same time. Example: if you want to start the production of power in several power plants, you no longer have to start each power plant separately, but can do this from a single power plant.
Pick a building that you want to use as a “Control” building.
Click on "Control"
Select from the list which buildings that this “Control” building will lead.
Note: It might make sense to rename buildings so you can keep the overview. See Buildings section below about renaming buildings.
In the GIF above; Power plant 1 was selected as “Control” of Power Plants 2 thru 6.
In the GIF below; you can see that Power Plant 1, Controls all the power plants on this map when starting production of Power.
If one of the linked buildings has a lower level than the main Control building, the production quantity is adjusted, but the buildings run at the same time.
If you do not have enough resources, linked buildings will not start.
If you do not have enough resources of the necessary quality, the same happens and you get a PA message.
Supporter-Chatroom
You will get access to the Supporter Chatroom (English).
Here, Patrik is relatively active and asks for opinions.
Here, also problems with new features are discussed, which supporters test first.
Permanently 10% discount on SimBoost purchases
You get a permanently and automatically 10% discount on all SimBoost purchases, if there is an additional sale you save even more.
Early access to new features
If Patrik is working on something, it is actually finished,
as a supporter you get new features first.
You can help to test the new features, identify minor bugs so that they can be fixed before the new feature is released to everyone.
As you can see, you won't be able to buy any decisive advantages with the supporter package.
This is intended. We do not want Pay2Win.
As a supporter you can prove your dedication to the game and help Patrik with the further development of the game!
