Purchasing under Subsidaries

Post by aehartle »

When I create the subsidiary it allows me to buy assets...ie retail outlets etc. But when I play the game or get the clock going I try to buy more assets for the sub and it says I don't have enough money. I try to take out a loan and it says the same thing.

I've tried taking the company public and private and it does not allow me to purchase any more buildings beyond the initial that I purchased.

I think it works though if the parent company has enough cash for some reason.

I took company public and had 60m in cash, wouldn't let me buy. Parent co had 5m. I then took loan for parent company for 50m and I was then allowed to make purchase for the sub.

When you mentioned "buy assets", did you mean building a new firm, or buying it from an AI company or transferring between your firms?

Could you capture a screenshot to show what action you were taking?

I have noticed this too that when my parent company funds are low but I try to build a new firm with my sub it will tell me I have insufficient funds even when my sub has the money.

I'll try to get a screen shot of this later today

This bug will be fixed in the patch v3.0.13.
