Select corp on 30 BIL oil built on 1 BIL oil

Hello

enterprise, built an oil corp, selected the field with 30 bil oil , after built reserve 1 bil oil

so is this thing working ? resource slot is random ?

You can't select which one to build on.

When mining first changed I made a list of what I had before I built and it appeared that the oldest was used first.

I think you might have found what I was wondering about. If a CEO closes a mining in it's last months the resource goes back into the ground and is the next to be built on.

If this is the case than I think the GM needs to look at it. When the resources running out message is present and the corp closes the resource should disappear.

I agree with your comment, John.

When a natural resource corporation is closed ahead of depletion, the resource remains available.

I am not sure where it is on the list, I think it is arbitrary.

I do agree that there is a problem if only a little resource remains.
The next corporation using it might find very little in the ground.

We will look into it.

I think the solution is, to make sure, when such a corporation closes, that the remaining amount is set to a minimum level that will make sense for the next corporation using the remaining resource.
Not very high of course as we all know what will happen then.

Because things aren't complicated enough, perhaps as the minerals in a corp are running low an option could be given to pay an exploration fee to discover more resources and keep the corp in business. If any are found it could be a little or a lot. A gamble for those who can afford it.

I think the natural resources function is complex enough the way it is.
I would not like to make it more complex.

I will however, after looking again at how it is done, have it changed a bit and if the corporation closes, make sure the remainder in the ground is increased (if too low), to an acceptable level.

It cannot be a lot or you will just close the corp on time and build a new one.

This is a small correction and will be done quickly.

I plan on just letting mine run until depletion. The Loss of revenue from wasted supplies should pale by comparison to the profitability to a long running Mining corp. Assuming those supplies aren't just sold off upon closure.

Getting stuck with a nearly depleted resource does suck though. Maybe the best option is to not allow them to close prematurely at all and Just liquidate the corps assets once it depletes

I do not think players close these corporations.

Closure happens when they have no workers or other materials these corporations need and then they close for low production.

we created the function to save the resources if it happens and it makes sense if there are a lot of resources in the ground.
