Is auto-export or import possible?

[luisq_05]

Sometimes my buildings don't have the needed resource to produce anything, in Tropico 4 you could fix this by allowing automatic imports, is this possible in Tropico 6?

As far as I can see you have to manually do this, and it's tedious sometimes. There should be a way to say that you want to always export or import something at better price(or at a fixed price), and even to a fixed quantity by year for example.

No it is not possible, i hope they will add it though.

You can use the Pirates Cove as a sort of auto import. Say you want a constant supply of coal, you can set the Pirates Cove to loop that raid. With the budget maxed out and the Big Telescope upgrade, it should provided enough coal to keep a single power plant up and running even without a mine.

Yeah, I came out with this after writting the post, but I still think it would be nice to add the import system they had in tropico 4.

There a lot of buildings, factories, that need resources.

Auto export is done already. You can even set what goods you want to export in the trading tab, goods & prices. However the importing thing I dont think so.
