Big water neighborhood deal problem

[ali20152015 0]

Hi,

So it is the first time, I am facing such a weird neighborhood deal issue.

I have a city, let's call it City A, which provides water to City B. City A has plenty of water, it has a water treatment as well and pumps, no problem with it.

After connecting the pipeline to City B, I made the neighborhood deal on City B itself. I chose a deal above the capacity, to serve the population without problem. Everything was OK, water is plenty in City B.

When I returned back to City A, I checked the neighborhood deal section, and found "Initial deal" to City B. It's weird, as I have already made the deal from City B.

So, I set the deal again. After some seconds, the deal cut and told me to initial it again. I set it and after some seconds I checked again, it has been cut.

Both cities have monyhly income in abundance and both are pipelined correctly.

Help!

I think you cannot oversubscribe a deal.  They have to be made incrementally so that the receiving city builds up to cover only its requirements unless it has a deal with a city further along the pipeline to supply it as well.

I am not overwriting the deal. The deal itself has not taken place. After initialized it, it cut. Each time it is doing the same thing.

Indeed that is what Nonny is saying, the deal won't work because you are trying to either supply more water than City B requires, i.e. if demands are just starting for water, you can only set the minimum of I think 1,000, if you pick a higher value than this the deal will simply be cancelled without a warning. This also happens if City B already has it's own water supply that covers it's needs and you try to add additional supplies from City A, it just won't work.

Check City A's water capacity using the water graph and your cash reserve in City B.  The following conditions need to apply:

 

Buy Deal

1) Appropriate neighbor connction (pipe for water)

2) The other party must have a surplus greater than the minimum deal amount of 1000 units

3) The initiator deal must have at least enough cash to cover one year of the deal.

 

Sell Deal

1) Appropriate neighbor connection

2) The other party must have less of the resource than his projected need (120 percent of current usage)

3) The other party must have enough money in the treasury at the deal's inception to cover one year of the deal

4) Your city must have a surpus of the resource greater than the usage plus minimum deal amount.

 

I suspect that you do not meet condition 3 (one year of cash to cover the deal) in your City B.  That is why you cannot make or keep the deal.

Oh lol, this is something I did not know. I thought we could supply any amount of water.

Anyways City B is running it's own water system now.

Thanks

No, I do have all conditions Prophet42.

But rsc204 is right in my situation.

Actually you can supply any amount of water from City A to City B as long as City A has the capacity and City B has the year supply of funds (as I stated in my post).  For example, I have a City A that is supplying City B with 10,000 units of water, while City B only requires 5,000 units.  The key is that by City B has enough funds in its treasury to buy a years supply of water from City A.  In this example City B has enough money to buy 120,000 units of water.  Your deal is being cancelled because one of the conditions in the list is not being meet.  I have started deals between cites greater than 1000 units.

 

If you initiate the deal at 1000 units, then if City B has a greater demand and the funds available, and City A has the extra capacity, you can quickly increase the amount of the deal.

Note that you can also download part of which is an option to lower the starting requirement/increment to as low as 250 MWh.  It's quite helpful for "seeding" neighbor deals in a new region and for smaller towns.
