Description
FORKED FROM MRNEWCITY EXPANSE MOD
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2186957033


Beta 1 Compatible!

Expanse is a mod that is made to enhance the experience playing Software Inc. by adding new types of hardware and software to the game, improving existing software and adding more variety to things such as names and personalities. The new software types and software enhancements attempt to be faithful to the vanilla software style, as well as be fairly technically accurate and balanced.

Currently, this mod adds 16 brand new software and hardware types and reworks all 7 of the existing vanilla software, as well as adding 4 new add-ons, 8 new personalities, and 1 new contract work. It also adds a new Video specialization. The mod is always being updated and added on to, so leave your suggestions in the discussions!

are Integrated Development Environments used for anything else besides game engines? Starting a new company and I thought I'd make an IDE first for in house because I thought it'd be used by everything but right now only thing I can see that uses it is Game Engines

Thanks for bringing this back to life, it was a favorite mod of mine.

No idea, I can't code
double O k  [author] 4 Mar @ 12:53pm 
get it but is it possible in data mod? i need C# to do this right?
leomide 20 Feb @ 9:44am 
Yeah, sequels, but a remaster/remake is not really a sequel, it's ... a remaster/remake of an old game. So technically not a sequel, cause it is the same game that got updated (Remaster) or remade from scratch and hass maybe a few new things in it, but overall the same game but way more modern even than a remaster (remake) You played a remaster/Remake before, right?

leomide, wdym by remastering exactly? Software inc has sequels mechanic already.

I looked through the git a bit to figure out Freds problem but there is no Issues page to report anything on the fork.
The problem seems to be that for example Ai Software can only generate 2 companies with specialization for it. Even if the game starts with 2 out of 2 max this means they have to cover all 3 different OS *types* alone to compete with you on users. A similar issue presents itself with most other software added by this mod. Simply generating 1 out of 2 max competitors for aviation when you could have 2 OSes can easily create scenarios where they both go and only support normal PC OS without a chance for a new one to come along in 5 years to grab users from some OS you developed.
If the game has a company type spawner for console developers to balance out those then this mod needs a similar thing for its 2 extra OS you can have spawn in a game.
