Minimum Stock Level also for Captain Morris?
Hey Folks,

i got a question about the docklands trading mechanic. Will it be influenced by a mininum stock i set for any good? I dont know if that question is that simple toanswer or not. But i dont wanna make big experiments with needed goods right now in my savegame, so i better ask XD The mechanic at all is still quite challenging for me because i still spend a lot of time changing the trade every 20min. But thats maybe another point to find a good balance in it^^

Find the PRODUCTION DEMAND amount of the good involved, that's a per minute usage amount. Then go to STORAGE and find a good that your already trading with Tobias. You can then determine the time it takes between visits.
Multiplying the usage amount by the time will give you the amount you need Tobias to supply each visit. So if your usage amount is 40 tons/min and he is arriving approx. every 20 mins 40 x 20 means you need to set 800 as you import amount each visit. You can then adjust your Export amount or Import amount as needed.
I don't think he is really influenced by the minimum stock setting. But you can always set the import amount to any number you want. If your asking will he stop trading once your minimum stock setting is reached.... that's as interesting question but I don't think so.
You still have to check in every once in awhile to see if your running out of export or need to increase import due to population growth.

Yes. If you have a min set on the item in inventory, and the stock quantity is lower, it will not trade.
