HELP! shortage!

for some reason my corps have shortage in supplies and they aren't producing anything! idk why this happened all of a sudden and one of my corps even closed cuz of this! any help on why this is happening and how I can stop this I highly appreciated

In the short term you can change the companies' buy orders from Best Price to Immediate. This increases price by about 20% but puts these companies first in line to buy in the next cycle.

In the longer term you can create a company that produces the missing product and sign a contract with yourself to buy directly from one company to the other.

err....

No. :-/

in the short term, order all the supplies via your country and re-sell them to your corps. ( i had to do this a few times. )

Make sure you have a good buy ( mine sis like, 100% - 8% and it seems to work good. ) Make sure you corps have the $$ in order to buy the supplies it needs, if not you can have them take a loan or send them $$ from your country.

NEVER order Immediate supplies as you will pay way to much for them. ( who needs cattle at 350Q? ) but if you feel you must, just order one months worth, then be sure to order at best price.

I would be able to help you more if you would of given your countries name and planet you are on. but as you didn't thats all the help you are going to get from me.
