Gerbal Plays 012 Fate of the World -- Fuel Crisis

[imarchello]

I hear this thing has quite high system requirements even though it's mainly a freakin' card game.. Could I possibly run this game on a 7 yr old computer?

@imarchello Depends what you mean by 7 years old. 7 year-old high end gaming computer, sure. 7 year old laptop, I don't know. It does have a bit of fancy 3d used to render the earth.

According to the publishers website the system requirements are pretty low: 2.2 GHz Pentium 4, 2GB ram.

Got the game, though my computer supposedly doesn't fit its system requirements, it's running anyway and is playable.

It's actually NOT scripted. I've had the crisis hit as late as 2085. It happens as a result of the commerce sector outstipping the agricultural and industrial sectors by a 2 to 1 margin... and the reason that this always happens in this scenario is that severe oil shortages cripple the agriculural and industrial sectors with only minimal effect to the commerce sector. Therefore, all of a sudden the commerce sector becomes comparatively huge and you get the crisis.

Just got this game yesterday, and I love it! It's so intricate in the design and consequences, I just can't seem to be able to get past the financial crisis, I was wondering if this is a scriped event or not?

[gerbalblaste]

@TheSnob113 It's scripted, it always hits at 2070. The best way to deal with it is to prepare by building industry and agriculture. The financial crisis will abate if commerce is smaller than industry and agriculture combined. The Tobin tax is also helpful in shortening the crisis.

@gerbalblaste Ahhh I see so use the industry and agriculture under the wellfare tab, I thought it was to do with the shortening of fuels so I expanded oil, coal and gas, thanks for the advice

@gerbalblaste They are NOT scripted. I've had a mission where I had no financial crisis. My emissions were not on target and so I lost at the end of the game. But financial crisis are avoidable.
