[scutshake]

Ok


Its really anooying can somone explain whats going on i shall give you the basic

Right playing as russia few years into the game but all the way through had trouble with industry goods so build some more, All good then i needed power So i build some more power plants then industry went back up. After a few years my consumer goods went up and then military. Every time i build more the amount goes up but it still says ive unused or unmet demand? i have like 100 power plants for christ sake.

Someone help please

just loaded an old savegame, circa 1983

Industry:
Industrial goods: 473
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''mid:353
'''''''''''''''''''''''''micro:302

Consumer Goods:265
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''mid:182
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''micro:88

military goods:188
'''''''''''''''''''''''mid 150

Other industry:
310 uranium mines, 259 ore, 202 coal, 557 oil/gas, 28 derrick, 376 timber, 512 water, 418 agri...


To power this requires:
Power Plants:
589 coal
7 coal small
406 hydro
27 hydro small
600 nuclear
29 other power
270 petrol

To answer your question, 100 power plants is nowhere near what you are going to require for an extended game, and it is the number one bottleneck in the game.

Once you have power under control, industrial goods becomes the bottleneck.

you will spend the entire game building up these two in order for the rest of your industries to function properly.
