Please Fix The Autarky Bug!!

[CoRe Killerbrandt]

I have played the game for hours already and everytime my revenue just crashes because trading stops! I could play one game for days if this did not happen but it appears everyone balances out their resources too quick.

[shiggies713]

well not everyone. China lingers for decades, plus if you conquer and/or somehow get other nations to switch govt. then resource demands can change drastically. Like in my current game as Democratic Republic of the Congo (people said it was impossible so I tried) when I switched to single party democracy, almost instantly resource demand doubled and has continued to steadily grow for 20 game years. It took that long for me to get out of debt, double gdp and stablize economy somewhat and I've barely hit the tip of the iceberg in terms of resource balance. I doubt the AI Democratic Republic of the Congo or similar states does any better in your games.

I agree they do need to at least add some kind of simple mechanic that would emulate economic downturns or something to prevent nations from meeting their needs domestically eventually and inevitably. Still though, from my experience it takes several decades for the world to completely balance. I like to get common markets with nations in severe need of big time goods, China is usually a gold mine if they don't nuke everybody and get conquered.

Yeah not all countries meet the demands right way but the big boys do and stop trading so it affects everyone on the entire map. Also, how do I stop from losing all my revenue while playing as Venezuela then? I reached balance with them within a decade. so, I can only play as the Congo or other really crappy nations? also they get affected because not so many are trading anymore when balanced (they dont need to import). This has been a huge bug for a long time and needs to be fixed.

yeah this game assumes that economies reach a peak where they never grow anymore except if population does. so strange

[CoRe Killerbrandt]

Yeah it is crazy! I hope they fix that part.

UberfoxMod to an extent fixed that problem. It would be nice if we could implement that here.

[Arcunas]

yeah im 50 years into the game and my income got halved making the game unplayable du to losing to much money.
Hopefully someone can recrate uberfox and maybe bundle it with the other 2 mods on the forum.

[CoRe Killerbrandt]

Yeah! It just happened to me, but luckily I just taxed the crap out of my people to survive haha. Yeah they really should implement Uberfox's Mod.
