Bug: Warehouse storage hogs all goods until storage is full

[mwyeoh]

Hi David

Ive encountered a problem
The warehouse storage sometimes hogs all the goods until it is full before it gives any to the output, and when it does, it does it for all output and waits again until storage is full

Here is a saved game, I have several warehouses in Nanjing
(In particular, look at my steel warehouse (medium sized) in the middle of the screen when you load the game)

The problem seems to be more pronounced for low level warehouses. It seems to work better once the warehouse reaches the higher levels

This will be fixed in the next patch.

By the way, I saw that you are making substantial profits from your expertise product class (home appliances) in your saved game. It would be interesting to see your strategy of expanding to other industries as you continue to play the game, which may mean more head-on competition with the AI.

Your R&D on automobile makes sense too, as the market has no AI presence yet.

Hi David

I am really enjoying this game. I have 5-6 competitors in this area (Home appliances) which is forcing me to be competitive, and not rake in the HUGE profits I have been able to so far due to lack of competition

Last game I posted, I already had close to 800mil profits by time time, but I havent been able to because there are many more AI playing well this time. Its really challenging and fun this time!

Great to hear that you are having fun with the game and AI!

Hi David

The fix to warehouses is working really well now.
Could you replicate this change to factories too?? (From manufacturing to sales)

[David]

In fact, the game will wait until the stock at the manufacturing unit is full before the products will be moved to the sale unit. Actually it has been like this since Cap2 (or possibly Cap1). It is a design choice and works the same for the player and AI (so it is fair).

Thats fine.
Its ok for manufacturing as its just a small delay, but the one for warehouses is working great.
It allows us to now stockpile goods from a seaport and also supply our factories at the same time

Is it possible to do the following layout

Input-Private labelling-storage-private labelling-storage-etc.?

That is to say, add several "private labellings" in the same chain ?
