Losing Processors bug

[Shardak 8]

2 full processor deliver trucks head to the electronics factory, which only has room for one trucks deliveries.

The first truck delivers 500 crates of processors, filling the factory.

The second truck then heads back to the trade port to dump the un-needed processors.

However, it goes to a trade depot that only contains alloy storage lots, and the processors disappear.

I have since deleted one of the alloy storage bins on that trade port, and put a processor bin to stop the losses.

Make a bug report... Haven't heard nor seen it before...

Hi,

 

Actually this bug will take place with whatever resource that your trucks can delivery...

Yesterday I had the following configuration:

 

1st trade depot with:

-alloy (importing)

-plastic (importing)

-computer (exporting)

12 truck garages

 

2nd depot with:

-gazoline 

-TVs (exporting)

-processors

-goods

-metal (exporting)

12 truck garages

 

 

so long I only had 1 processor factory and 1 high-tech factory, I was making millions per day (cash went up to 6 million).

 

then I decided I would build the spaceport, so I needed more computers, so I build a second hightech factory and then a second processor factory.

 

then even though i would still export computers (and not ship any to the spaceport) as well as TVs and metal, I started losing money!

 

after a while i noticed that the problem came from the alloy delivering trucks who would go back to their garage in the second depot and hence wasting the resource worth 41k§.

I think the same was happening with plastic and processors which meant I also lost money from those trucks.

 

 

to temporily bypass the bug I will try to reorganize my depots, with one exporting depot, and one for imports or local supplies.

the exporting depot will have:

- computers

- TVs

- metal

- goods

and NO trucks

 

the other depot (import + local) will have:

- alloy

- plastic

- processors

- gazoline

and 12 garage trucks

it will have to be very close to the factories due to the limited number of trucks.

 

in that configuration, if alloy, plastic or processors do not find space in a factory, they will be returned to the depot

however i fear that they will still get wasted if the depot has already replenished with imported goods.

the alternative is maybe to have alloy and plastic in both depots (but only import in one).

 

... Sad design...

 

all we have to do to bypass bugs...

 

bye
