Some issue with market availability/demand/production
Posted: Jun 20 2018
First of all a screenshot:
what does it show:
I have almost completely taken control of all the rubber. I thought: Malaysia isn't producing enough for the world. So just take control and keep building supply until the world demand is met.
Naturally, if it is met the price increase stops.
Price going down.
if it goes down further below my min USD/Unit I stop selling, but it means the market runs out of supplies and thus price going up.
With me in control of all the supplies, I can set the price.
Although on my maps countries like USA, Germany, France, USSR, etc need amounts like 500.000 to 1.000.000 per day myself 2.000.000 per day, they stop buying.
Top importers:
USA needs 7.300.000 per day
Germany needs 3.500.000 per day
China needs 2.600.000 per day
USSR need 1.000.000 per day
India needs 3.000.000 per day
Japan needs 2.500.000 per day
and the list goes on and on
Top exporters:
east india has production 2.500.000 per day with own demand 800.000
Liberia production 1.000.000 per day with own demand 9.000
EXPORTING however both export (Yes I didn't forget the zeros, they export close to nothing!):
Liberia 2.900
East Indies 2.000
As one can see this isn't even nearly to supply the markets.
There no reason under this condition that prices keep falling unless the engine you programmed doesn't use "Market demand vs market supply" but instead it looks to my extreme big " CAPACITY" and based on the capacity
it says: "lower market price" which is wrong of course.
The price went down from 580 to 537 now while I set it at 561
Although I'm not selling anymore and thus demand is there but no supplies thus logically the price should increase again it doesn't
It looks like the price is going down based on my huge "capacity"
I think the market price in the engine is NOT based on what is really supplied on the market but the engine is looking at "possible capacity" and bases the price development on that.
Which means, the engine is wrong! It should only take into consideration what is really DEMAND & SUPPLY and not DEMAND & CAPACITY
I noticed this on price development on other items as well.
Either way, it doesn't make sense when everyone is needing it, that the price goes down if the only supplier isn't throwing it on the market.
