sbroccoli | Thursday, October 4, 2012 - 02:24 pm I've tried a few times to use common market>contracts>accept contracts to establish contracts from and to corporations in my own country. There's a bullet setting there to indicate for which corporation where to search for contracts (local, common market, none). I've set the bullet to local and confirmed it. But the next month it's back to 'skip' for all corporations and no contracts whatsoever, have been concluded. So is there a problem with this function or am I doing something wrong? |
Alexandru | Friday, October 5, 2012 - 01:15 pm It is back to skip, but it is also done. You need to offer a percent of products before searching for that. I believe that if you offer 30% and after you search for contracts in 1 game month the corps will set come contracts. Not sure but I think that there it is some sort of automation. Just offer, then search and should be ok. For example I sell 15% on local and 2% on common. So i think that is no problem there. |
sbroccoli | Friday, October 5, 2012 - 10:44 pm Thanks, but I don't get it. You mean I have to go to one of my corps and somehow offer products. And THEN set the market function to search? If that's the way, then it doesn't really save me much compared to just directly setting up the contract B2B. |
Alexandru | Saturday, October 6, 2012 - 11:12 am Try this, common market menu » offer contracts » scroll down, put there a number like 20 » set to offer to local and common » confirm. O the same page at top click accept contracts for... » go down at for all corporations » accept local and common market » confirm. That is what you need to do. Depending on what corporations do you have it will establish some contracts. Wait some time and that is all. |
Crafty | Saturday, October 6, 2012 - 09:46 pm Would it not be easier to set up the contracts corp by corp, so say FMU, you could contract 20 a month to each corp from your FMU corps and have a corp supply that corp with some other product, or some such arrangement. That way you would get exact control of numbers and quality. Dunno, just an idea if you want to contact solely with yourself. |
sbroccoli | Sunday, October 7, 2012 - 12:01 am I did that untill now. But the case is that as the number of corporations grows, it becomes a maze of criss crossing contracts. This is much easier. And I now made it work, thanks to Alexandru! |
