Subsidiary CEOs bugs

Post by Karim1812001 »

Good evening everyone, i hope you are doing fine.
I purchased the Subsidiary DLC yesterday along with the game (The last version I guess), I really like it, the realism and all, we can see that a lot of work have been done by the developers. However I have a slight problem, Whenever I want to create a specialized subsidiary, of communication devices for example, I face these problems :
  • My CEO keeps building farms and selling livestock although the scope of production is only "Communication device", I suppose it's due to the fact that there is no option to prevent him from producing livestock (at the opposite of normal products that can be disabled using the scope of production)
  • Whenever I want to launch a real estate company, my CEO keeps buying land and no building
Except this, I simply adore the game and the DLCs
Thanks in advance

I have seen in previous threads that the administrators ask certain question, and here is my answer in advance :
-I'm using the last version
-I'm not using mods
-I didn't keep saves but it's a problem that keeps repeating regardless
Thanks in advance

Here are several new problems met, hopefully the developers could solve them in the future :
-When I activate the internal sale option for a sub, I can't sell to another company nor another sub
-I created a pure retail subsidiary for my products, unfortunately the CEO doesn't recognize my products as an "Own firm products" and hence doesn't automatically link them with the retail stores although the "Group" option is activated


(I will modify the message as things progress)

It could be due to that the your subsidiary company did not have enough cash.

I started a game to test this by setting the Competitor Start-up Capital to Very High and the AI was able to build apartments on the land it bought. Attached is a screenshot from the game.

You could enable the "Group" option on the subsidiary firms - please see the attached screenshot. It will then sell products to other subsidiary companies within the group.
