Maybe a few ideas for now and in the future
1.) If the lights go out you workers will do 50% less work
2.) a fast manage screen (all the machines in a list with the level & upgrade button next to it)
3.) Unexpected bill (the power lines broker pay -$1.000.000 to get it repaired, The energy bill for this month was -$100.000, The found some gold on some of your land +$ 1.000.000
4.) Some sort of achievements
5.) Up & down time events ( example : Because of a fire one of your rival companies has been burn down +25% production for the next 5 min , Because of a fire on 1 of your flax fields you lost 25% of your production)
6.) buy land, build a factory on it,upgrade the factory (sorry don't know how to explain this one )
Hope you like some of the ideas :D
Cheers for the ideas, I have thought about adding these random events into the game, I'll get to work on it :). as for building factories I'm thinking about adding a dock that you can buy once you max the first factory out, where you can maintain a shipyard as such, Thanks
Hadn't really thought about movement speed, I'll add it to the next update though. Thanks for the idea. As for more floors I'm thinking about an option to build more buildings as to start your own empire etc, cheers
