AI manager pricing bug?

Post by Grashopa »

I sent this via email as I was unable to join the forum on my other computer but I'm here now! So I think this is a bug:

Can you add a 'take no action' button for COO management? I want the
COO to apply his bonus to the farm/retail, but do not want him to set
prices or do anything else. This is due to a pricing bug:

I started challenge 6 by dominating the livestock products using a 100
farming COO. Since he also gives a bonus to retail I had him 'run' all of
my firms. However he sets the factory prices at more than 2x his cost
which is above the retail prices. This means you can't sell to other
corporations and causes him when running a retail establishment to
halt purchases of that product as he thinks it is losing money.

I would like something similar for the CTO too- no changing the techs- only I can change them

Yup, CTO keeps switching tech research when a tech almost done researching. Love their expertise bonuses but their actions are pretty illogical.

Saw another AI manager bug:

With change suppliers set to No the AI decided to switch from my internal supply to a much lower quality supply from a competitor. This reset sales in the city and took 6 months to correct. If you aren't working on this already and need a save I'll have to go search it out - I think it was March 2036 in the challenge 6 game.

We have modified some code in the next patch. You may test it when it becomes available and see if the problem happens again.

You may post this on the Suggestions forum along with the Take No Action for CTO suggestion.
