Hello everyone! Just a quick question with supplies contract.
I have a Corp using 0.15 airport per month. The lowest quantity for contract is 1.
I have 118 airports already but it looks like it keeps executing the contract, I just don't know what happens to them? Are they wasted, and I should cancel the contract? Or some hidden mechanism even everything out?
Thanks! |

My two cents:
I don't recommend you contract corporations to yourself in most circumstances - and especially in situations like this where you need under one unit per month. I do recommend you cancel that contract.
You're selling yourself 0.85 more airports a month than you need. Without the contract, your corporation would sell its produced airports to the open market, and your country would buy an airport every so often when it needs one (as opposed to buying unneeded airports most months). |

Thanks for the input.
I figured they might lost, that would explain the 120B debt 🤔.
Another weird thing is even if they consume 0.13 airport per month's, the number of airports in stock never goes in decimals... I'll monitor it closely in the next few months and try to figure it out.
The reason for contract was to avoid massive chronic shortages for these types of products.
Again, ty |

We agree.
I see your problem and you got a good advise.
we have recently tried to make corporations produce at least one product per game month.
we have however products that carry a high price and such corporations might become too large to manage.
producing 12 wind Farms a year would require an axremely large corporation that will probably bankrupt quickly because of cash problems.
we had this taking place with cargo shuttle corporations before. |

The contract could simply be not executed if the supplies are above say 100 months.
That way I wouldn't have to micro manage my common market contracts, and not run into inevitable massive shortages.
Military base maintenance are a pain in the ass, and frankly I'm about to just close all of the corporations who use fractions of products.
I don't think products like wind farm are a problem, since they aren't used by other corporations.
The problem is over ordering above 120 months. |
