Suggestion: Larger Paper Deliveries

[J B Dryden]

One of the issues I keep having with mid- to late-game play is that once you start having 3- or 4-page papers, the amount of paper you use per printing gets large. So when you're only getting 200 reams with the largest delivery, you keep having to get more deliveries. I'm curious if you could add an upgrade to the Marcal Paper Plant that would allow for an increase in the size of deliveries -- maybe as the step below the discount or even the first unlock for that location.

^Second this.

I'd actually like a mechanic for recurring orders, so that I can just adjust for print volume as I increase it over time rather than manually buying paper every time.

Also, please separate toliet paper and print paper, or drop toliet paper altogether, it feels out of place, honestly.

I have to order every turn and then I pick the delivery to the storage. I also second about the print paper being used as toilet paper, it's ridiculous.

I honestly thought this was going to be the main function of the resupply desk. It could easily just be a toggle for "manual" and "auto" purchasing -- because honestly auto purchasing in the early game might accidentally cause issues if you're not watching money.

Hehe the toilet paper is just a bit of humor to it all.
The graphics and other elements are to realistic so we though it could fit.

But will monitor if it's a to big an annoyance to people :D

Great idea on the bigger delivery upgrade. Fits in very well.
Awesome. It never really came up in my mind :P

We always wanted to create a desk or on desk upgrade that will eventually help you "Auto buy" supplies.
THis will come at some point in EA. But currenlty not the highest prio.

I absolutely love this game, but as of now (endless mode) the amount of times you have to order paper is a bit annoying. And to make it worse, I can't make the haulers carry it in time so I always manually add it where needed, otherwise they just leave most of it at the entrance.
- I would like to make it so that the haulers (I forget what their proper title is) would always prioritize picking lawsuits up. I keep missing to handle them since the haulers simply aren't efficient enough to bring them to the lawyer, even with all the available upgrades. The lawsuits also are a bit hidden behind cars, protesters and whatnot.
- I think the addition of a basement level for incoming deliveries would greatly help to handle all that incoming goods. There's already what looks like a garage door at street level. Maybe that could be developed into cargo room or some such.

QA is currently testing a build with an automated delivery function in the dropdown menu.
This is a upgrade for every resource that can be bought on the map for influence points.

Aside from that the ai for the resuppliers is greatly improved and we if you now build a resupplydesk close to a resource needing object that resupplier will have a bigger prio on filling that. So placing one close to your printer will make that one prio paper refilling for the printer as a task.

This will all come in the next upcoming patch.
