PO Trading Problems

[evan38109 0]

 I keep having problems with the trading system in the planet offer, enough so that I can't really play the game.

Last night, I was playing a PO city and needed water, but Omni was the only seller - and it's prices were completely unworkable.  I asked for help in the chat and was told there were plenty of sellers; I just couldn't see them.  I put up a buy offer at 50% higher than the next highest and just waited.  No takers.  I couldn't move forward in the game.  I tried to see if the web interface would give better info, but it didn't even have my city.

This morning, I started a new city.  This time, I was having trouble selling food.  At one point my resources pane said I had a surplus of ten, while the trading panel said I was making nine and selling five.  Meanwhile, the active contracts screen said I had no contracts.  There were no buyers listed other than Omni,  and no matter how low I offered to sell, there were no takers, leading me to believe that my offers just weren't showing up in the marketplace.  Meanwhile, the web interface finally shows my city, but with a completely different set of values.

At the same time, the trade screen keeps glitching out.  Sometimes, I'll open the marketplace tab across the top for each resource just aren't there, and it shows me as having "---" frieght and passengers, etc.

Since trading is such an integral part of the game, I just can't play it once a city gets to even a modest size, and I'm really frustrated.  I'm a software engineer myself, and I try to be very forgiving - I was even considering signing up for the PO, since I can afford it and I like supporting independent developers.  But...I can't even play the game.

Anyone have similar problems?  Anyone find a way around them?
