hello. I apologize for my English.
I have a doubt: I use cheats to increase the stock, but when the increase, it decreases automatically.
put for example "steamer_convoy 100000", but the steamer convoy is zero, and then with the stock it had previously. how can I avoid this?

thanks.
 
this is probably a stupid question, but are you sure you aren't selling them? happened to me once; i was producing tons of iron but my steel factories were always low on it. then i checked and discovered that I have set to sell all iron but 1 :wacko:
 
how do i see if i'm selling them?
how do i disable the auto selling?
Basically, look at the trade screen. For instance, for coal, you see "> 20". This means after you accumulate a stock amount of 20 coal, you will start to sell it on the world market. Likewise, if it says "< 20", you will continue to buy coal every time your stock dips below 20, and no matter how big your stock gets (via say coal mines), you will not sell it.

Just switch them around, and play with the amount slider until you get what you want, then hit the "Confirm Trade" button.

go to the trade screen, and make sure that "let the computer handle trade" isnt checked.

I would suggest that you follow some guide from vickywiki. prussia, belgium and brazil have some nice guides with screenshots and explanations. if you read one of them while you play, you will get the hang of the basic concepts of trade and industry in no time (or at least, you will know exactly where to find things like autotrade etc.). worked for me very nicely, and i return to the guides often to check alot of features i dont understand :cool:
 
Hi, I just read Memnon guide, it´s interesting, and I understood that market works on supply and demand, but playing the game, following Brazil's assorted guide on converting to capitalists that demand luxury furniture commodity, the market field is filled with "0" value, sorry for the stupid question, but this means that the World Market doesn't produce this item? So I can't buy it?

regards
 
from Wiki Vicky:
As mentioned earlier, all types of POPs have different demands. The game keeps track of how much of each good (furniture, clothing, precious metal, automobiles, etc.) is produced on the market, as well as how many POPs are demanding them.

If I do not have capitalists, luxury furniture will not be demanded, is that right?

No, because officers and aristocrats have luxury furniture as luxury goods demands as well. Though i dont think that meeting those demands is really necessary from the start-just buy some luxury furniture when you can so you have the option to promote capis... the rest should be resolved by itself.
