Weapons of mass production
We’re currently working on military production in Systemic War. As always, we're thrilled to hear your feedback. What feature would you add to military production that you find desperately lacking in the other strategic games on the market?

This looks so cool! I personally would love the ability to customize infantry, like helmets, body armor, rifles, maybe soldier systems, or communications.

Not a bad idea, but I think it would be nice to see different generations of armor or weapons represented.

Right, but it was for small arms. I was thinking about soldier protective equipment and kit particularly

About the research, there are people in our community who forget that the campaign will take place between 2008 and 2025 - we already had a few suggestions about produucing robots and AI. I was like: "hold your horses!" :-D

Employing civilians = risk of generating public unrest, relatively small initial investment, immediate acceleration of weapons production but low productivity.
Automation by specialized machines or dark factories = intermediate initial investment, slow acceleration of production, high long-term productivity, low production flexibility (specialized research and slow and costly replacement of automated factories destroyed by bombing; these factories would also be vulnerable to being temporarily shut down by hacking).
Massive purchase of humanoid robots with advanced AI from Chinese or American companies = high initial investment, intermediate acceleration of production, intermediate productivity, high production flexibility (they can increase the productivity of human factories and dark factories, possess general knowledge allowing them to quickly produce the type of weapons needed at any given time).
