The rumors seem to be true, the Federal Government announced a big change during the 100th trading period. The Federal Government sent out their newsletter only a day ago, however there was no additional explanation from the Federal Government what exactly changed. After a session talking to a reliable source, The Miniconomist was able to uncover some details of the new shop types.
The first important aspect is that there is no more way to expand the shop size after it has been built. Traders need to plan in advance how big they want their shop size to be and whether they can afford such shop sizes at that moment. Here comes the second problem along, since every shop type has a different set of requirements. These requirements start with just money to buy a lot for a Market Booth, and after that shops will also need products. It is thus very important for old traders to take a close look at the new shop size limits and its costs.
Third there are multiple sets of limitations for each shop type. The MegaStore will require more security tools to get the same level of security as a Brick Shop. On the other hand, the security options for Market Booths and Shed are limited. Other differences between the shop types can be found in the use of signboards, sizes of the signboards, amount of lots needed to build the shop and possible limitations with respect to marketing.
Finally the Federal Government advices traders to first keep a close look at what is needed to build a shop and differences with respect to owning the shop. These might differ significantly to what it used to be. The Federal Government however also sees a positive side, since being REA will be more profitable, because a lot of smaller shops will be sold to other traders.
