You may want to do so when you do not want your subsidiary company to compete with you in the same product classes.

Please note that these policies will only keep your subsidiary company from starting production on the affected product classes. However, if your subsidiary company has already engaged in the production of those product classes, these policies will have no effects.

Version 3.0.05:

New feature:
Radical R&D Unit - a new feature in the Subsidiary DLC (under development).

A Radical R&D (Research and Development) unit is a new type of functional unit that you can set up in a R&D Center.
It undertakes a radical approach in product research and development which aims to achieve dramatically greater results in shorter time frames. The radical approach does come with a price - the success of the research is not guaranteed and you may lose your entire investment in the R&D project without any outcome. So you are advised to use it in combination with traditional R&D units as part of a greater strategy.

[counting]

The issue of the 2 new game settings, Private Companies, and Product Customization don't get memorized when creating a new customize game, and no auto-save problem still exists in Beta 3.0.01

http://www.capitalismlab.com/forum/view ... =37&t=2675

Or perhaps these settings are stored under my game folder? And I have to manually remove some old files in old beta for it to work?

[David]

These bugs will be fixed in Patch v3.0.02.

[Arcnor]

I'm not sure if this is an issue related to the expansion pack or just a general mod issue, but I am receiving the following error message when trying to load my mod file that has previously worked.

[David]

The new version has a new feature called Technologies and the MOD needs to have the corresponding files.

Please view this post for details about adding Technology DBF files to a MOD: http://www.capitalismlab.com/forum/view ... =37&t=2711
