'Factory Maintainance Units' Crisis (White Giant)

There is a huge demand for FMU's but not enough on the market.

I'm new to this game and because of this Inter-National crisis my economy is heading for rock bottom.

I need to know, how long will this last?

Forever

Just kidding, until supply can meet demand.

You need to adjust your trade strategies. Go to your corporations page, select trade strategies, then at the bottom of the page where it says buying strategy, click the "Time Based" tab. Then adjust the "when ordering products" space, input -8. In the frame right below it, input 8. Now click "Set Strategy" This will allow you to offer above market price by 8% more every month until your offer is high enough to outbid everyone else. You shouldn't have supply shortages very often if you do this.

Done!
Thanks!

To be honest, you should be fine with the default buying strategies. Mine is set at starting at 100% and raise it by 8% every month and I usually get the FMUs pretty quickly, usually at the latest it takes about 1-2 months for my corporations to get new ones.

Hm. Interesting.

Well, if you want, I can have a contract sent your way for FMUs. All you have to do is ask and tell me how much you want. And don't forget to give me your country name. I lead Silverberg Heavy Indistries.

I could use a trade agreement for FMUs anyone interested my country is Thuringia

Cosmos, you're paying 16 over 120, then 24, then 32, then 40. Expensive.

The best solution to any FMU shortages is to buy a bunch of it at minimum quality in your country and then use "World Trade" ---> "country trading with your own corporations"
and then sell the FMU to any corporations that run short.
