v1.07.00 Patch

Big Pharma v1.07.00 brings with it improved AI, balance improvements and all-round goody goodness. Note: In this update I have added borderless window mode to the Windows version. If you are curently using the "-popupwindow" launch command, you should remove it and switch to borderless window mode via the options panel in-game.

Here are the specifics:


  • Added Polish language support for the DLC.
  • AI can use the multimixer and shaker more efficiently now. This means that they follow you up the tech tree more effectively. Expect the AI to be hot at your heels for the entire game now.
  • Improved AI pricing algorithms in Marketing and Malpractice DLC.
  • AIs don't patent things quite as often.
  • AIs now have staggered start times so they don't all flood the market at the same time in the early game.
  • Reduced the extent to which ingredient prices increase in base game in reaction to oversaturation. It was squeezing low level cures too intensely.
  • Increased value of all level 1 and some level 2 cures in base game.
  • In the base game, there are now only 2 AIs in Advanced, Quick Start and Room to Maneuver scenarios. This is balanced by the improved AI algorithms mentioned above.
  • Fixed bug where hover for "Average Saturation" was shown on the wrong column on the company tab.
  • Fixed some typos in event text.
  • Machine process times can never go below 1 (was possible before using mods).
To summarise, I've tried to decrease the difficulty in the early game which was caused by all the AIs rushing the market and filling it with level 1 and 2 cures. This is balanced by a more difficult mid and end game because the AI is much more proficient at keeping up with the player as they build higher level cures. These changes affect both the base game and the Marketing and Malpractice DLC. Give it a go and let me know what you think, I think it makes the game a lot more interesting! Tim

What if you had it in your power to rid the world of disease, to improve the lives of millions, to ease suffering and cure the sick… and earn a tidy profit?

As the head of your own Pharmaceutical Conglomerate you have this power resting in your hands. Will you use it for good? Being totally altruistic may not be the best business plan. The uncomfortable truth (is there an ointment for that?) is that some remedies are more profitable than others and illness is good for business.

Welcome to the world of Big Pharma!

From humble beginnings


with a few rusty reconditioned machines, you can progress from knocking out cheap generic treatments for minor ailments, to discovering new active ingredients and hi-tech machines to help refine the next generation of world-changing drugs.

But watch out,


you’re not alone out there. Rival corporations that want to put you out of business have their own set of competing cures and treatments.

Then there’s the dynamically shifting marketplace which means that your fancy cold and flu medicine from last winter might not sell so well now it’s the height of summer. Where did I put my anti-wrinkle sun cream?

Big Pharma


is part business sim, part logistics puzzle. It’s one thing to work away in the lab perfecting new formulas, but converting the ‘sciency stuff’ into cold hard cash means bringing an engineering and business mind to the problem.

Factory space is expensive, and those fancy new agglomerators and centrifuges don’t always slot nicely together.

Features:

  • 35 business-busting challenges spread out across 7 unique scenarios
  • Custom game mode
  • Freebuild mode
  • Modding support
