Sunday, August 9, 2009 - 03:23 pm  I'm new to the game (though I did play for a while about 4 years ago). Yesterday, I told my enterprise to buy some oil on the world market at a fixed price. It has bought the oil, but it seems to have cost nearly 3 times as much as I expected! The quality is about 290, so I'm guessing that's why... If so, what's the poınt in having the fixed price option? I didn't want to pay for high quality - I just wanted to buy a certain amount of oil at a certain price! If I set the quality to 100, will that prevent the system from giving me higher quality oil? Or does that just set a minimum quality level? Can anyone tell me please how to buy 1000000 tons of oil on the open market at $330 and pay just $330,000,000?! Thanks in advance... p.s. Is there any way of finding out exactly what you actually *have* paid/received for something?? There are links for 'Review Recent Sales/Purchases' but they don't seem to do anything...

You have to set quality at 100. You have to factor quality in price. You pay according to: Quantity * Price * Quality / 100 So, if you buy 1 000 000 units of oil at a fixed price of $330/unit, but at a quality of 200, you will pay in total $660 000 000.
