What's in the business side of Automation?

Also can you create a sub company like for example vw owns audi but let them do their own stuff?

The world will be divided up into different regions, each with different buyer preferences, regulations, costs etc.


You'll start factories in regions, build research facilities, dealerships etc.


Buyer preferences etc. will change over time.

Could I just say this? I hate how some games classify some countries.
Some examples classify Peninsular Malaysia as an extension of Thailand and the whole island of Borneo as a part of Indonesia.
Keep this in mind, please. Rant over.

Now I suggested sub companies a while ago, and I hope this also happens. *cough* Minor bankruptcy *cough*

Sub companies have been a planed part of Automation since before you joined

Some stuff is going to get grouped together mearly on the basis of being close by and not warranting being its own region, for example no one is really going to want to run a car company in Borneo as one region, and similarly no one would want to run a car company in just Ireland, so it'll probably go in with the rest of Great Britain

Daffy, can u give us an update on the progress u are working on?

On the business side? Nothing!

On Automation in general, we're still working on V8s, and are fairly close to having all the art in for Crossplane V8s

I know the business side is not developed yet but what about the ordering a car. How will that be like?

I hope that in-game you can choose company's "nationality" and maybe acquire small boost to your cars sold per year in that country. ;D Like in finland i guess everyone would bye fisker karma if they had the money

But also i hope you remembered that there should be also income from parts. Like Toyota has its own oil filters and everything.

Vehicle warrantys? Is tht in automation or planned?

Can you have factories in different regions?
And can your HQ and factory be in different regions?
Can a region affect how well you make a car?
