Unable to buy goods.

[Kexlar]

I need to buy wood as I have run out and I need to build a pub, now I have set my buy slider to 20, and my minimum stock to 10, so I thought as I have zero wood in stock that the game would buy the wood for me, but after leaving the game running for 20 mins on fast speed, I still have zero wood. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Like i said are you sure you are positive in money?

i may buy wood if I run out of it in the early game and I am impatient and have money. But I usually do it manually sending my flag ship.

I don’t think do it automatically is practical, it may be very expensive and is much better to set another wood cutter and workshop.

Hmmmm… thinking about it is other possibility, remember for wood, logs is the “raw material” and you need the workshop to to turn it into wood planks and those planks is what actually you use as wood to build stuff. Just a wild idea.

Thanks for the reply, I am trying to buy the planks yes, maybe I need to start a fresh game, I am new to Anno 1800, played 1404 a bit, I am following the starter tutorial parts to get my settlement up and running so I am following what the game tells me to do, it has not got the part about buying items yet, I'll start again as I have only just started so no big loss really, and I can see whats going wrong. Thanks again.

I have found the problem, it was me lol. I built my saw mill and lumber yard too far from my warehouse, so instead of demolishing them and building them nearer I was trying to buy the goods, but as I am following the tutorial, certain things are locked until I pass the milestones, i.e buying goods. So in the end I demolished my Saw Mill and lumber yard and rebuilt them nearer my main warehouse, now I am producing wood and planks. Just like me.. a Plank. lol. Thanks again for your help.
