Version 0.5 of proposal
Imagine being able to produce media for retail purposes. This industry would be much smaller than the others but would be beneficial due to the low complexity for the cheaper products. Additionally, the higher end products use end products of other industries that are not already used in other products.
Currently there are no products that allow players to have a passive income. This means players constantly have to make new products and sell them, rather than renting or lending to other players or to customers. This was done intentionally by Patrik (the S.C. creator) to prevent incremental profits. This means for products like 'Social Media' (proposed in table below) one would have to produce sellable units rather than offering a passive service. Please keep that concept in mind, otherwise some products in this proposal do not make sense. How does one 'sell' one Social Media? One social media 'unit' actually represents allowing one user using the service. Anyway, onto the table proposal.
Software R&D will also be buffed due to this proposal, as other more specific products besides 'Software' will be able to be produced.
