Auto purchase?

[City Builder]

It's been quite a while since I played (for various reasons, not least amongst them game performance) so I gave it another go this morning...

How do I set the game so that it auto purchases grass for my cows?

I've got enough to do in game that I only know I'm low on grass when I get the warning that a cow barn is low on food.

Surely there is some way that I can set some setting that says "buy grass to keep 75,000 units in stock" Yes?

Thanks

Not sure. I stopped playing due to performance as well. But the new dlc is due out soon! I wont be purchasing the dlc till this version has more viability.

No auto purchase, just auto sell. if you produce the grass can do auto sell maintaining that amount in barn.

Yeah NO! Will never buy the DLC until they have fixed more bugs out of the main game, I've got workers that just sit in their houses for eternity and only fixed by swapping employees between cow sheds. There is no fun in playing like this.

Okay, found one of my issues that I thought was a bug, I had set to sell grass over 25 thinking I was going to buy when my stock of grass was 25 or lower, got rid of that and now my grass lasts a fair while when I buy 10,000kg at a time.

What's the management in clicking a button multiple times to manually buy stuff? It isn't.

What should really happen with animal feed is that I should be able to put in an order for the next xx months to buy xx per month at xx price so that the price is locked in, if it goes down, well then I guess I've lost money but if it goes up then I've saved money.

When we still had the family ranch, we would order xxx amounts of bales of hay to feed the cattle and the truck would show up each month and deliver what we ordered at one time each month for the entire winter period.

I suppose in this game I could just waste a ton of money and build a dozen barns and fill them with animal feed to last longer but then I'm gaming the game and wasting resources on extra barns.

Really I don't think this game was thought out all that well at the beginning and or the developers didn't anticipate how some players might try to play the game. Player should (IMHO) be making high tier level decisions and not chasing escaped cows or doing things that my low level employees/managers should be doing such as sick cow, okay... The cow barn worker should be calling the vet not the farm / ranch high up management or owners.
