How to stop auto imports for tutorial

[Garlic Pizzasauce]

I'm really trying to give this game a shot but, at this point I'm really just amazed at how confusing this supply tutorial step is.

So I'm doing the supply tutorial and it's asking me to go 50 days with no imports. It keeps giving me this notification on my Pub saying "this building still uses auto-purchase of resources". I really want to turn of the auto-purchase of resources but I cannot figure out how this is done. I see no check boxes every time I do into the resource purchase area I switch to manual purchase but it just reverts back right after I leave.

For the love of god. How do I do what the tutorial is asking and perform this basic game-play function?

im stuck at the same step, my distribution office wont work.
i got supplies in my warehouses, empty stores and trucks sitting at the distribution office doing nothing.
the stores and the warehouses are connected to the office. i played with the % treshold but the trucks just wont leave the office.

starting to think the game is poorly designed

Genuinely this. You go into the purchase resources dialog and hit the big red button to disable all imports. If you change the import values you *must* click authorise for them to be saved, regardless of what you set them to.

Do you have the right vehicle types, and are the shops and warehouses configured correctly in the distro office dialog? Shouldn't be a pathing issue as it checks for that first before it even lets you connect them in the office. And maybe set the thresholds back to default, because you may well have set that incorrectly; the default settings should work in the situation you describe.

What big red button? I click on the one at the mall, pub, grocery store, whatever location and within a few minutes the same location is telling me it is importing

When you select a building that can accept resources, there should be some buttons at the top of the selection panel with currency symbols (one for rubles, the other for dollars). Click on whichever of those matches the currency that you're using for auto-imports and then use the menu that comes up to cancel the imports.

If I remember correctly there need to be 3 things to be taken care of.

- First of all: To switch off any auto purchase in the shop and pup.

- Don´t have a DO with the custom building to buy cloth, food, of alcohol.

- Don´t have a truck with a line to do the above. Even the line need to be deleted.

I made a video about it. But it´s in German.
