Saturating the market

[ShaderonDark]

The milestone for saturating the market with 2 medium or advanced products seems impossible. Has anyone got any tips for this please?

You definitely have to have Market Prediction, then from there it's a little bit of watching and dumb luck. Just have to keep an eye for things that have a small demand that is dropping ideally, and hope that two come up at the same time. I think it took me 3 tries before the timing worked out where I actually got everything shipped out on time, and I also had to do more micromanaging to manually split tasks to any other work area I had that could do that task even if it was slower (so for instance, having my woodworking station make some round table legs). No machine can be idle unless you have a great setup.

OK thanks, I managed it eventually but it took saving up and some trial and error, plus buying a few more advanced machines and doubling the capacity of some of my rooms with extra machines. It wasn't easy!! The save games came in handy.

This is actually more of a stockpiling challenge than a production rate challenge, but you can make it harder on yourself unintentionally by researching Market Expansion which increases the number items the market is willing to buy by 50% and 25% for medium and advanced products.
All you have to do is pick 2 items you know you can create fairly quickly (doesn't even have to be warp speed fast) then use the Market Prediction to make sure those items will still be on the market in 2-3 cycles. Then just don't sell the items until you've stockpiled enough of them to sell as many as the market can buy.
Your production rates don't really matter as long as you pick a product that will still be on the market when you go to sell. Of course you have to be able to financially sustain not really selling as much for a while but that just takes time.

only pick products that have low demand to complete this task. if the demand is say 20 id make 35 just in case the demand spikes while making the second product.

That worked. Although, If you are into the game enough and have the ability to refresh the market, with the triangle at the top left corner'; everything in each market starts fresh. With plenty of employees 25+, make sure your zones in the factory are happy over 50 and a few good machines are refreshed and maintained prior to starting. Just choose the products you like the best. Wood products are easy to make and can be made as the market changes. If you do 10 - 20 extra for each product, they sell after the production and the market saturation. You can usually sell the extra fast and at a higher payment.
