I have multiple uses of the 3x new corporation booster in my Enterprise on WG (Majoralis United).
I had 6 booster uses 2 game-months ago (Oct 4655) and requested 3 new corps be made, expecting that to take a single month.
I come back after those 2 game-months (Dec 4655) and have only a single new corporation and only 4 boosters remaining. It looks like my boosters were used despite no corporations being created (I suspect due to production plant shortages?)

Boosters shouldn't be used when the corporations aren't created.

I will look into it.

This is the second time I hear this and it seems that there might be a problem in enterprises.
Having boosters is no guarantee for construction. There should be production plants available.

but boosters should not be used if no corporation is built.

I have had it too several times, but with natural resource corporations. My thesis is there were no deposit available. However I tried the production plants pre-ordering, but if i order like 10, and 3 corporations are built, next gamemonth i still have 10 production plants in stock. Not sure if thats because 3 were auto ordered regardless or the ones in stock not used at all. With countries they arent auto-ordered when sufficient amount is in stock and the stocked ones are used. fyi.

You cannot try to build a natural resources corporations if there are no deposits available.
This has nothing to do with these booster.

I think that the production plants must be in the country.
This is a long time ago. nobody here now, so I will ask to remind me tomorrow.

I think that there might be an error with these boosters use in enterprises.

I do have first results from a test in the past 2 days.
nothing went wrong.

There might be an error but if there is, it is appearing in very specific situations.
Until now, with many boosters available, their numbers are not declining.
Not in countries and not in enterprises.

If you have a case to show where numbers of boosters are declining now for no reason, please tell me where.

I started several more test cases and will know more tomorrow.

I found the error and fixed it.
It will be part of the upgrade today.

It appeared only in enterprises in cases where the president of the country where you tried to build, did not give a permission yet.

In only some of the cases, boosters where lost.

We are looking for such cases and will compensate for the lost boosters.

we are very grateful to players who alerted us and gave us data that helped finding it.

This error is very very old but boosters in enterprises were not used a lot and the error manifested itself only in very few cases where these boosters were used.

Hern,

I paid back the gold coins used for all the enterprise boosters.
I am not sure how many were really lost but just to be sure.

Thanks for alerting us.

Giant Bananas is probably reaching the 1000 corporations in a single country.
we had such problems in the past but only once or twice.

population was more limited.
nobody had so many corporations.

Andy,

number of corporations is still limited to 1000 per country. can you increase to 1500 as I have country where i am not allowed to build more and currently stuck at 997. there is 997 already built and game does not build any more while i have enough employees and factories in stock.

country "corporate sector alpha" on fb.

The 1000 corporations limit is very hard.

We never anticipated more than 400.

The limit does not apply to enterprises.

The max population was increased but the size of individual corporations did not follow that increase.

corporations will however become larger, hire more workers and with a max population at 600 millions, the number of corporations will gradually decline.

We think that players should be managing such huge numbers of corporations.
smaller numbers of larger corporations will be much easier.
