Is there another server problem on White Giant as alot of goods have large negative values -such as Chemicals -9,000,000 and Services at -15,000,000. Affecting how corporations perform.

It's because of idiots who keep buying and selling things in other worlds. We had an oversupply of pharmaceutical products in Kebir Blue that is only just righting itself after like a game year now.

On White giant there are 2972 services corporations, which produce around 10,402,000,000 services per month( with contracts ). In the past few months the world demand for services hasn't went under 25 billion. Simple solution is to build more services corps.

There are 2682 chemical corporations. They produce a base of 4,224,150,000 and with contracts again it is probably lower in the market supply. Chemical corporations use a lot of mining materials, which most players do not produce. So the supplies needed to make chemicals are much lower on white giant. Making lower profit for chemical corporations. However chemical corporations are still profitable, and services corporations are very profitable in most cases.

I think this is normal. Nothing wrong with the servers. The market is still pretty bad, but there is a lot of profit to invest in. Which is why I started a new empire on White Giant to invest in. Hopefully, it will b

I set Low Water Marks to higher numbers than Order Quantities to avoid hitting "Spending Caps."

For example:

Low Water Mark: 250,000 anti-aircraft missiles
Order Quantity: 2,500 anti-aircraft missiles

If you did the reverse, anti-aircraft missiles probably wouldn't even be ordered.

I build stockpiles over time, and if I want a lot more of a particular commodity then I order in all my countries and/or enterprises, then move them via spaceports where needed.

It doesn't make sense to me why people do the opposite, setting Order Quantities considerably higher than Low Water Marks. How do they even get their supplies? You can only order so many resources at once (which I am against as I think if you have the cash then you should have no hardcoded limitations to spend it). . .I assume the game orders some supplies that are required for countries' populations even if your Order Strategies

John West that is because I change my supply quality as my corporations upgrade. I dont want 2 years worth of 150q supplies when my corporation gets upgraded, I also dont want 215q supplies in an unupgraded corporation. That would make sense however in an old country with all upgraded corporations. I may start doing that. Most of my countries only last a few decades before I sell them off to another player. When you close a corporation all supplies in the corporation are lost. My corporations never ever run short on supplies with the standard order strategy.

That business strategy is understandable, although not something I would have expected to see. I do not think most people share a strategy similar to yours (that is building countries specifically to sell), but I could be wrong as I do not know what people are up to with these countries of course. What I explained is in regards to setting up corporations for let's say 'set-and-forget' more permanent operation as I assume most people are interested in figuring out how to configure a corporation/country in general just so that it is profitable, and so I just threw in my .02 on order strategies because you mentioned order strategies. Since you also mentioned your corporations don't run short on supplies, I'll also point out that my corporations do not run short on supplies either with the order strategy I laid out in the case anybody would be wondering.

John West. I would like to know and am curious as to your definition and difference between democracy and republic. Most republics but not all are for the most part democracies. best Example the United States (sometimes considered to be the world's first modern republic).
I generally set my buying strategy to either Best or do the Follow Product which first field I put -8 and then 8 for second field.

Yes I use 'best' for buying and selling strategies as well. With fully upgraded corporations, you shouldn't see even surplus products go unsold for long.

In regards to your question, a 'democracy' is direct rule by the people. That is where the people vote on every matter of state, and the majority always decides the path of the society. Sometimes they even vote in a dictator, but they also vote them out at times as well. Whenever a large group congregates in the capital city of a 'democracy,' the laws can be altered to no limit. These laws are usually not complex and regularly changes. 'Democracies' do not have constitutions, only CULTural traditions. 'Democracies' are usually extremely nationalistic. As far as I know, there are no 'democracies' in the real world. An example of a 'democracy' is ancient Athens. 'Demo[s]-cracy' s a combination of two Greek words, 'mob

It may be worth noting that the [nation-]states of the United [nation-]States are themselves all constitutional republics. The United States itself is NOT a 'democracy,' it is probably the most legally complex military alliance of republics, with the alliance itself being managed as a republic. As this alliance is a collection of nations, it is actually also an 'empire.' So you could perhaps say it is an an 'imperial republican alliance of republics.'

and definitely not a "democracy." As I said there are NO 'democracies' anywhere in the world. 'Democracies' are ancient evolutions from tribes absent of a chief or king. Often times dictators that were sometimes elected in ancient Athens, as well leaders of alliances of Greek city-states (usually such leaders were kings of hereditary kingdoms themselves if not Athenian elected dictator-"kings,"), were titled the name of &#
