Is a seaport product supply infinite?

Post by msd »

Hello. Could you tell me please if it is possible to exhaust seaport supply per month or it is infinite and can be bought in any amounts by all players? Is there any in-game indicator providing this info? Thanks!

Whether the supply is infinite depends on the option "Constant Import Supply" on the "Products" page of the New Game Setting menu.

I don't know where you can see the actual supply amounts (not sure you can), but the supply is finite in the sense that it can be "oversubscribed". Typically your units that are selling port supplied items will see a drop off in volumes and profits and if you follow this back you will see that too many clients are buying that good from that port. Therefore there is a limit to how much is available - and I'm not sure if that is changeable.

The constant import supply that David mentioned is to determine whether that particular good stays available or whether it will change over time.
