Newspaper Problem

[alanisman1]

I'm almost at the final stages of providing Investor goods and now my Newspaper has an article every single issue about missing goods with a +5% demand penalty.

I'm taking growth very slowly and ensure that every commodity is virtually maxed in storage!

I thought it was because maybe a single house didn't have access to the Marketplace or something, but I've scanned and scanned and can't find it.

Why does my newspaper claim EVERY ISSUE about good shortages when everything is full???

[ColdCell]

the press seems to always publishing new editions after my building catch fire. damn press.
try to play as princess Qing, see if shes immune to the press thing lol.

[CursedPanther]

The press always thinks that already contained fire or disease is a bad thing for whatever reason. I get the newspaper is supposed to report the incidents, but then what the hell are my public service buildings for if people are still unhappy with the results?

[Smokerbait]

I've had the same thing happen to me, and reported it to Ubisoft.

So, we don't know why yet, but it's not just happening to you.

i once got a new article saying that my island stinks due to no soap

[Ebin398]

Yes I've had that happen, too. I hate it. Like, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, my warehouse has between 995-1000 of the good (1000 is capacity).

dont you just miss that giant warehouse back in 1404?

Agreed! Then it's doubly annoying when you have to pay Influence (another annoying limitation) to reduce all of the unfair penalties which then upsets your upper class due to frequent propaganda.

i agree about the "people knows this is not real" part, the point of propaganda is to fool your people without letting them know, look how well the chinese did it.

i can deal with the upper class knowing the truth. but not just the upper class, if the damn peasants knows its propaganda, than whats the point of propaganda?

[Ebin398]

Yeah I do miss the Historic Warehouse. Northborough would get so excited about me building it lol.

But I hated that 999 tons was the limit in that game. Why not make it 1000?

Even without upgrading things, the Newspaper kept spreading lies about lack of goods or lack of public buildings. Meanwhile the warehouse got full of the so called 'lacking' goods. When you got like 8k-10k Engineers and 15k-20k Investors, 5% increase consumption is very troublesome.

yeah, this bug is driving me crazy. Hope Ubisoft fixes it soon.

sometimes it actually helps. especially with public building coverage. like one house has only 97% coverage from market or other building, helps with micro management.

[Smokerbait]

The good thing is that I don't think the bug actually triggers the Need Importance penalty. You can click on houses and see what is affecting the mood of people. If there is a bad news story you'll actually see an icon saying that Happiness is -5 for bad news. But I never see anything after a false news report about lacking goods.

@UbiBaron is there a fix for this? It's May 2024 and I have a paper in early game penalizing me 50 for a sea battle when the only ship I have is the Flagship and it's not been shot at. I'm also getting the shameless mismanagement for lack of goods for things that are completely full.

Odd thing is that it's only happening in my most recent game. I've done four others and never seen this, but now it's killing me with lies every 2 minutes and I don't have the influence to keep fighting it.
