Last couple of days I did some server work, updated software (if you didn't notice, our theme is gone 
) and implemented the new wiki system. The wiki will serve as a host for the in game manual, community documentation, and modding documentation. I'll be adding new content to as I progress with the mod tools. I'll probably take Saturdays to do manual documentation until it is caught up. The wiki will be made public once it has some more content on it.
I've fixed a couple of bugs in the mod tools dealing with exporting components files.
Bond and loan rates have been adjusted. The more money you borrow the higher the rates. Overall rates have increased as well and the credit rating needed for bonds has been lowed slightly.
I started working on component balancing. The first item on my list was Electric Engines. Some of this work extends over to other engine types and certainly with other cylinderless engine types. Next I'll be working on Wankel and Steam engines, before moving to Diesel, 2 stroke, and single cylinder balancing.
As for electrics, here's what I did today:
-Increased Electric Engine weight.
-Increased Electic Engine design and material costs.
-Increased Electric Engine manufacturing and design complexity.
-Increased Electric Engine Finish time.
-Increased Electric Engine Torque.
-Decreased Electric Engine RPMs
-Adjusted Electric Engine Fuel Economy
-Fixed bug in Components Mod Tool when exporting gearbox changes.
-Fixed Advance Designer, layout, showing bore/strike text and help buttons for electric engines.
-Fixed Advance Designer, layout, shows displacement slider for electric engines.
-Fixed Advance Designer, Summary, showing bore and stoke text for electric engines.
-Fixed Advance Designer, bottom panel, shows displacement help button for electric engines.
-Fixed Advance Designer, bottom panel, Test Vehicle Rating Specs shows cc for electric engines.
-Fixed Assisted Designer, showing displacement for electric engines.
-Fixed View Engine showing Displacement, Bore, and Stroke for Electric Engines.
-Added a 'None' induction system for designs, such as electrics, that do not have an air induction system.
