What happened today?

Most of my countries and enterprises run out of spending space without me buying anything

the most obvious situation is enterprises who today run out of spending space both, never happened before, especially not on months when i didnt buy anything.

the only explanation is either CEO buying from own corps eat spending space (which didnt happened until today) or immediate buying of supplies in corps eat spending space (which also didnt happened until today)

earlier this week i could fix 20+ corps with immediate buy supplies, now i can barely fix 2-3 per month.

something is not working as intended here

does each corp has an individual max spending space per month ?

No change in my spending space. Are you contracting to yourself?

Vladian,

It works as intended.
It is OK if you have many questions on how it works, but you should realize we are here for some years and things work although it can be difficult for beginners.

we should probably improve the documentation. (working on it).

contracts consume you spending space.

You can end up with no spending space if you have a huge number of contracts.

the procedure that should stop you from exceeding your spending space, cannot always recognize trading beyond the spending space, and you can end up with negative spending space. It mainly happens when different processes work in parallel.

This means you spend more than intended.

If countries purchase from corporations, any corporations, they are using their spending space, because they are spending.
