Shortages

Anyone having issues with CEO corps having shortages of supplies on a monthly basis?
None of my settings have been changed in each CEO, and the problem is on all worlds.

Not real shortages however many seem to get low.

Short term I've been using my CEO to purchase local and buy certain supplies from the Corps then using that stock to level things out in the others.

Still would like to know why all the shortages all of a sudden?
I'm getting to tired of selling products to my 1000"s of corporations every single day.
Does it have to do with recent upgrades to the game?
An answer would be nice

I'm not seeing this at all Keto on 3 different worlds. Maybe revise your buying strategy? Check the auto buy function? Is it all products or one or two in particular?

Are they getting short or just low. Mine are just getting low sometimes I do something other times I don't but never (yet) had full blown shortages, everytime I check supplies are ordered but I may jump my offer by a higher percentage per game month than you do.

@Crafty, I'm buying at 100% of the market price, and have been for at least a year with no issues until recently.
The auto buy is on and it is a mixture of products.
@Yankee, its a full blown shortage even when the supply has a moderately low shortage in the market.
Maybe I need to buy above market price and see what happens.

If the buy strategy is set to "best price," supply orders virtually always get filled. The notable exception is occasional shortages of selenium.

Well I start at 5% below but increase by 10% monthly. That's a lot of room in 12 months to find something for my corps to buy.

yeah, 95/8 is what I use.

What sort of quality are you asking for? If its some extreme like 120 or 300+ then maybe, just maybe, that could be the reason, no supply of that quality. Just a weird thought, doubt you do that.

The product quality is different in 3 CEO's.
175 LU, shortages appear to be gone now. WG/FB are both 165 and shortages still present.

So I'm thinking anything over Q165 should order products on time.

I think on LU I noticed purchase Q was 175 so I lowered it to Q160 and I believe thats when the shortages started. I've since raised it to Q175 and after a few real days it obviously worked itself out.
