I don't know if this is possible, but maybe using the Boiler image template to make a machine (edit: that is more expensive than the best printer) that "manufactures" the hardware instead of printing it would make a good addition. (edit: changing the price per unit production when ordering copies to above $2 would also help with immersion)

Also, the number of tech companies that build hardware instead of software is quite high, maybe a kind of soft cap of 1 specialist company per hardware type at game start would address the problem, as new companies would still be free to select the hardware type that another company started with at game start.

Another idea I had was to make operating systems adhere to a particular PC type (edit: architecture classes?), though I don't know how you'd manage that and what sort of impact it would have on gameplay, whether it would be detrimental or positive.

I also noticed that for hardware, the number of copies that it suggests are ordered at release is an excessively high number compared to projected sales. I'm wondering what causes that.

If you could add real pc/server parts that would be nice... such as
-Processor
-Motherboard
-Memory
-Graphics Card
-Storage (NVME/HDD/SSD)
-Power Supply
-PC/Server Case

Just make sure you have all of these for computer parts

ummm uf you could remove any faulty code thats stopping me from using it that would be awesome (and add so theres more realism)
