🚀 Update: New Cargo Contract System

The cargo business has been completely overhauled! From now on, cargo aircraft will only arrive if you have active contracts with cargo companies.

📦 Contracts & Companies You can now sign contracts with 6 different cargo companies — each with its own requirements and bonuses:

CargoExpress – General cargo, +5% bonus FreshAir – Refrigerated cargo 🧊, +8% bonus (requires refrigerated cargo depot) BioFreight – Live cargo 🐾, +7% bonus (requires live cargo depot) SpeedCargo – Express cargo ⚡, +10% bonus (requires express cargo depot) HazChem – Hazardous cargo ☢️, +12% bonus (requires hazardous cargo depot + fire station) GlobalFreight – All cargo types, +6% bonus (requires customs office)

📋 Contract Tiers Each company offers three tiers:

Bronze (7 days, $15,000) Silver (14 days, $35,000) Gold (30 days, $75,000)

Silver requires 40% reputation, Gold requires 70% reputation.

⭐ Reputation System Each company tracks your reputation (starting at 50%).

+2% reputation per departing cargo aircraft Below 20% → warning Below 10% → contract is automatically terminated

📊 Contract Limit By default, you can have up to 3 active contracts at the same time. With the new research “Premium Cargo Contracts” ($350,000), the limit increases to 5.

🔓 Unlocking Build a cargo terminal and at least one cargo parking position — the 📦 button will then appear automatically in the sidebar.
