I've setup a new enterprise on TA with the purpose of attempting to have corps all self sufficient off of each other. I am having a blast with it so far, and the upcoming changes should make it even better.
However, I am completely lost as to how the common market contract offers work.
My usual flow is as follows: I go in, cancel all contracts. Then go back to the offer page and offer 100% for example, then I go back and accept all local/common market offers which then sets all the contracts back up with the new numbers.
But every time I do this, it appears to come up with different numbers, and different amounts of contracts are made (some that aren't 100% of total production so I would think the same contracts would get made every time).
As TA is very volatile in regards to both workforce and having supplies in the right place at the right time, there are often period of time where the production/hiring of a corp will go up and down considerably.
When I go back to the common market contracts page, I then see that many of my corps have >100%. I go in and cancel, and set them up again.
My questions:
- Is the percentage of goods offered on the common market a percentage of the max capacity of the corp when fully stock and staffed, or is it a percentage of the current levels of output as prod/hiring allow
- If a corp changes its production level significantly (for example, if supplies it has been waiting on for a long time finally become available) will the contracts automatically adjust for this new level of production, or do I need to setup new contracts?
- Am I overthinking all of this? lol
I wonder if I have a misunderstanding of one of the mechanics at play here, but something just doesn't feel right.
Thanks |
