SRGW - Auto Sales & Auto Purchases - Need for Lock setting

[geminif4ucorsair]

One of the more micromanaging requirement now is that the Trade Minister has lost the ability to be Locked into settings the Player desires,
......this is particularly irksome when it comes to the Auto Purchases ad Auto Sales sections, there the slide returns to a zero percentage (%) after each days trades.

Help.

I have been fiddling with this greatly the last few days. In my play, it works, but of course, I have to click on the lock Icon for that commodity. I just now checked again, I locked Electricity and moved the Auto Sales slider to 10% and the Auto Purchase slider to 95%. I let the game run a few days checking each new day. The sliders stayed put. I them moved the Auto Sales to 20% and the Auto Purchase to 90% and let the game run another week. Again the sliders did not move.

Are you locking the Minister from that Resource when you are trying this? Do you have any Priorities set other than default?

Must have been sleep walking. Look at Minister settings and product locks....made sure they were set right and fixed.

Roger. I am glad there is not an actual issue. This is the only minister I trust.

Please note, the AI will "override" the lock if it sees you're about to be critically short of a commodity. This can happen when a countries economy is in very poor condition. The evaluation of "critical" may not have the proper baseline in 1914. We hadn't seen evidence of problems with the 1936 baseline, but we may have missed something. Thanks for considering as you play.

Whoa whoa whoa.. you mean as Supreme Ruler, not only can I not set my own DEFCON, but the darn ai has the ability to ignore my settings for it?

[Balthagor]

Only in a very tight circumstance. Been like this since SR2020 and has probably come up about 4-6 times.

All right.
