Strategy Guides

The wiki explains how each system works. The strategy guides are the long-form, worked walkthroughs that show you how to play them well. Every guide below lives at /guides. This page is the categorized index so you can find them from inside the wiki.

• Running a Corporation: found, expand, and profit. Sector focus, margin modifiers, commodity markets, sprawl, shares, and bonds.
• Commodities: the commodity market end to end. Supply/demand pricing, margin effects, what every sector produces and consumes, and chain dependencies.
• Planned / Command Economies: running SOEs, Gosplan, and Gosbank. Plan fulfillment, efficiency as capacity utilisation, directed credit, and the marketization dial.
• Plants System: the current capacity economy, build queues, unsold output, mothballing, and sector operations.
