Not exporting goods

[Perfectly Valid School of Magic]

I have an export agreement to send cloth to a Superpower. I have roads connecting my Textile mill to the dock and obviously I have Teamsters offices. I checked and ensured that my Mill is in fact producing cloth and getting the resources it needs.

Yet for some reason, not one piece of cloth has been exported. Why might that be? my other trade deals are working just fine.

Click on your factory - is cloth leaving the factory? Click on the dock, is it arriving at the dock? If either of these is not happening or is slow, add more teamsters (or at least get the extra hands upgrades). Otherwise go to your trade screen, third tab and make sure Click is checked - so that it is traded.

Do you have multiple trade deals for cloth?

Do you have an apparel factory?

Just one trade deal and I think so. but I have other goods being manufactured but still have raw materials exported. I have a shipyard but still export planks along with boats ((Since I make trade deals for boats))

Well that is your problem. Your apparel factory is consuming cloth fast so it is not sitting in the docks. Which is odd because one textile mill can easily feed two apparel factories, especially if you are using leather in apparel manufacturing.

Where the example with your planks your shipyards are not consuming planks fast enough so some ends up sitting in the docks.

Pretty sure it uses leather too. i'm playing the Tropicoland scenario and haven't tampered with any of the buildings you already have when the scenario loads.

That's really weird. Guess I'll just cancel the agreement. Building more plantations and textile mills would cost too much.

Instead of cancelling you can import cloth for excess cloth. That saves you from the reputation loss, if that is an issue. I usually import low and sell high all the time, just for keeping the rep over 100, plus you can siphon money to your swiss bank account via the customs office.

I would normally suggest just setting your Pirate Cove to loot runs to get it. However you can not do loot runs for any finished product for some idiotic reason.

Speaking of pirate cove: how can I view what resources I have, if I'm not producing them? I'm doing the Pirate King mission and I can't possibly remember all the resources I take from raids. But I need to export stuff for that cash money.

You goods are stored in either the production facility, resource producer, or dock. If you producing something and doing loot runs to create the resources simply turn off exporting that good.

Not going to lie, this keeps happening and I don't understand - i have 17000 planks and I'm not importing to the dock - it's sitting at 1000 of 12000 needed.... similar situation goes for sugar. My town is dying and it's because I can't figure out how to fulfil these trade requirements even though I'm overstocked.

Do you have the checkbox checked to allow cloth to be exported on the trade screen? If unchecked, it will never export

[longjr97]

Check your roads. Sometimes roads don't connect properly at the corners/intersections so you think you've got your port, teamsters and industry all on the same network of roads, but they're not. Or the port's at a funny angle to the road and doesn't actually connect.

If you think you've got far too few teamsters, try assigning an emergency job to one teamster office and see if the work gets done.
