Pak192 Comic: Cheese importer and Wax?

[Antonin]

This is one of my favorite paks, and recently I started a new game in 1980.

But I've noticed that the image for the cheese importer looks like a rocket, and it consumes biofuel. May I ask why that is? Also, the apiary produces honey and wax. Honey is consumed by the farmers' market, but is there any industry that uses wax?

I always enjoy playing this pak!

Why, naturally, the moon is made of cheese, so that's where you get the cheese with the rocket. (Don't worry, it grows back - that's why we have moon phases)
Rockets require fuel. Doesn't need to be biofuel, it can be made of oil as well. (Though considering the lore of oil platforms, perhaps that is bio too)

As of yet, there is no use for wax. The idea was to make candles to be consumed in graveyards, but so far no proper candlestick maker graphic exists to accompany butcher and baker.

EDIT: Aaaand now there is a graphic and candles can be made soon.

Y'know, I used to make candles many moons ago... those candles would be a nightmare to make, to light, to *extinguish*. lol

Might need a fire services industry chain to provide firefighting services when those candles inevitably burn everything down!

Either that, or the scale I was interpreting the pak to be at is WILDLY different than I thought and the people a tiny!

In front of the factory there are the blanks. The finished candles will be cut from them. The rest is then waste.

I always thought the proper end consumer for the fire service industry would be a tire fire. Except I'd have to pixel a giant fire. Which would need to be made almost entirely of light colors AND completely animated. So I rather didn't.


...no, the scale of p192c makes perfect sense is not that weird, the actual size of candles can be seen at the stand in front where they are sold. I just want to make clear what factories do at a glance. Sometimes having open storage or visible production is enough, sometimes it's the shape of the building, and sometimes they steal an American roadside attraction to use as a 3D sign.

I see. That makes sense!
