Severe Shortage

The country has sever shortages of all kinds of materials. Such shortages cause many people to leave the country.
Move money into the country or take loans and let the country place orders to resolve the shortages.

Why am I in this predicament? Because the auto buy feature tanked my country as it was starting to recover.

I finally had about 100B cash on hand, then the auto-buy spent it, and has run me into a hole.

One possible fix is to set a cap on how much the auto can spend on a transaction, so it doesn't waste over a trillion on a single trade.

Another option would be a limit per month to the spending, or a minimum cash that it can't spend below, such as 600B, below which the purchases have to be made via contracts, or manually.

For example
O Auto
O Auto with cash minimum of [xxxxB]
O Manually place all trades outside of contracts

Then have a radio button move to the option you've selected.

Buying 50 million of something you use 200k of a month is just crazy.
As is buying over a million of something I use 600 of.

There is no reason to buy multiple years of supplies when I'm tight on cash, living month to month, trying to get by.

Conclusion: the auto feature should streamline the game, not sabotage it.
