Hello everyone

The Shop has added two new features: Production and Marketing.

Production

Until now, the Shop could only buy its goods. It can now manufacture them.

By building a Workshop from the Buildings, you unlock machine slots. Each machine has a recipe and transforms raw materials into components, and then into Shop items. A home-made item costs you far less than a purchased one, and sells for more thanks to its quality — which you can improve by investing your R&D points.

Each Workshop level (from 1 to 10) adds machine slots, and each machine can be upgraded to produce more. Eventually, a fully-fledged factory can supply your entire Shop.

Marketing

Your players now have followers across all their social media platforms, which depend on their level, age, nationality and performance. Players also have an affinity with your supporters. These two criteria determine the players’ marketing potential. This marketing potential can be used to sell personalised shirts.

With a personalisation workshop (one of the machines in your workshop), you can produce personalised shirts bearing a player’s name, which sell for more than an ordinary shirt. It’s up to you to decide which of your players deserve their own shirt — there are a limited number of personalisation slots.

These two aspects of the game remain optional. Those who don’t wish to spend time managing this can continue to stock their shop in the usual way.

Enjoy the game, everyone
