Shattered Isles Fights Back! | Captain of Industry Update 4 E2

Welcome back everyone — JTM Plays is back with Episode 2 of our Captain of Industry Update 4 series! In this episode, we finally start making real progress on Shattered Isles. We push farther up the mountain toward copper, keep working toward limestone, deal with serious food shortages, try to stabilize fuel and rubber production, and start setting up the next stage of the colony. This run is still on Captain difficulty with Realism Plus Plus, and the early game is absolutely brutal. Space is tight, construction parts are scarce, and every mistake hurts. In this episode: We push toward the copper mine Continue terraforming toward limestone Set up rubber production Struggle through a food crisis Start planning concrete and copper production Use exploration to bring back much-needed supplies Somehow keep the colony alive Captain of Industry is a factory and management sim where you build an industrial empire on a remote island by mining resources, reshaping terrain, growing food, building supply chains, and expanding production.
