Can anyone help here? I manually calculated the money I was making for each unit of product based on the products sold info. The problem is I have trade strategies set to sell the units for 200% above the price with quality effects considered. However the money being made is as if the products are being sold at the quality price without the 200 extra I asked for??? There is a major undersupply so I don't get why this is happening?

Iain, the trade strategy settings are more or less non functional now, the developer doesnt want a free market. You wont ever get above market price increased with quality. If fact, to assure regular sales of all your product, I would recommend you change your strategy to, at best, 'best price'. The GM recommends offering at -10, with a 5% monthly decrease.

SO how do we compete? Is there any point in increasing my quality then? Given that supply needs also increase when you upgrade?

You can still tinker with the corps supply qualities to gain advantage. Up to a point producing a higher quality product is more profitable. There is salary to consider, and welfare too.

The more involved things are being phased out one by one. I guess to make the game more accessible.
