supply and demand
Moderator: moderators
I think this may be next to impossible, because sales speed will go down when supply/demand increases.
I am not sure about this, but I think the daily variations in sales speed are due to:
1. Average price variations
2. Average quality variations
3. Variations in Supply/Demand
This is not 100% sure, because it is hard to say which part of the daily variations in sales speed is caused by which factor.
Just because there are so many dead cities creating demand, but not supplying anything, the demand is always much bigger than supply, so it is not so noticable.
If you read earlier posts, also in german forums, I think there supply was much close to demand, and oversupply did reduce sales speed then.
I guess players who have played at .com from the start may know about this ?

Which makes sense....
However...... if you run several days worth of goods in your markets... . the daily fluctuation does not affect it. *IF* you change the prices WHILE it's selling, then the statistics for THIS day will affect your sales price/time.
I have tested that. You would need to change the price or run a new batch every day in order for the "new" statistics to take effect.

Yeah, I think that's the case. I rarely enter my buildings direct. I use the admin buildings. Maybe it's different also if you enter them direct?Paracelcus wrote:I will check my facts better next time. You get money for your goods, and they will (probably) be taken into the statistics, but the speed is not changed.
