The Alternative Stock Sim option

On the Environment page of the New Game Setting menu. Set to Yes, it changes two things:

  1. Stock prices are unaffected by the economic state.
  2. Stock trading between your company and its subsidiaries is prohibited.

Together they make it considerably harder to speculate for quick profits — which is the point of the option.

With a large number of AI companies in the game, the filter buttons at the top of the stock market screen matter.

Button Shows

Stock merge

Every publicly-traded stock must maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Fall below it and a stock merge — a reverse stock split — happens automatically.
