There has been for several weeks a problem with corporations building spécial force units : there are 2 lines for heavy armored vehicles in the available products screen, 1 normal and the other with a monthly use of 1 that stays at 0 despite all the attempts to buy some. So the corps stay in supply shortage and don't produce. It looks like a bug to me :)

I'm a little concerned because these are used by off weapons maint corps. These are very profitable options to build, but will be killed in SFU are not being made.

Is this a corp you just built, or an established one that updated?

I ask because I notice that there is a supply of SFU on KB, and am wondering if only newly built corps are affected, or if this supply is just old stock.

The GM will notice if Off weapons Maint, grinds to a halt, though.

I do not think any of these corporations are producing anything. Mine is 5 game years old, but I took a quick look at SF unit corporations across the 3 game worlds that I'm currently on, and I can't find any that are producing anything

Well The GM must have some kind patch in place that is causing off weapons main corps to receive these regardless, because I'm not seeing any shortages despite the mathematical certainty that there should be.

I've often wondered how wind farm corps are always getting turbines, when countries cannot. Must be the same thing.

Thanks for alerting us to the error and we do take it seriously.
The error is the result of removing jeeps.

It did not interrupt the production in these corporations, it just made then use heavy armored vehicles twice.
one of the two was for 1 armored vehicle each month.

It is already fixed but will make it into the next upgrade.

Wind farms on the other hand, did not always get the wind turbines they needed.
This was a major problem for some players who had huge numbers of wind farms.

Shortages at the time were such that wind farms stopped producing.
When shortages were too large, some wind farms even closed down.

The situation now is much better, mainly due to increased production of wind turbines and many players who produced too many of them and started selling them.
The number of wind farms also declined and indeed, most countries are now able to purchase what they need and are making goo

Andy, I meant wind farm producing corps always seem to get turbines despite countries not being able to get them. I think it might even be easier to get them by buying them from a wind farm corp

I see what you mean.

The wind farm corporations use smaller numbers of wind turbines than some countries.

other than that, the order processing depends on the price offered, or the trading strategy.

there is nothing in the code about any preference for corporations.
not for wind farms and not for any other corporations.
