This has happened to me many times. In the FFA market page where you can buy for multiple countries at once, it tells me there isnt enough goods on the markte when clearly there is. Has happened about 8 times in the past 2 days.

Cut out my country names.

Agricultural $4800 $4350 495352

So some couldnt buy it cause there 'wasnt enough tech', but as seen in the line above there was enough tech, so i tried to buy again and the same thing happened

Below is me buying again 5k tech for price 5k. (like 1 minute after the first attempt) As you can see from the first attempt there is 490k agri for $4800 so my orders should be met.

Agricultural $4800 $4350 465352

Then some of my countries couldnt buy again. And as you can see there is still 460k agri tech for 4800, so its not like someone bought before me.

That message occurs because the game programming is simplified, and rather than recalculating how much to purchase after it empties out the market at one price, it just stops buying for that country.

Every time you get that message, its for a country that bought all of the remaining agricultural tech at a certain price. The countries after it which made purchases made their purchases at a higher price.

If you look closely, you notice that in both cases, the amount the first country paid for 5000 points of agricultural tech is less than the amount the last country paid for 5000 points of agricultural tech.

I see. Thanks rockman.
Dam annoying still though :P

Found another one.

XXX (#**1) purchased 36 Bushels for $9396.
Some of these goods were purchased for a better price on the private market of XXX (#**1).
XXX (#**2) purchased 36 Bushels for $9396.
Some of these goods were purchased for a better price on the private market of XXX (#**2).
XXX (#**3) purchased 36 Bushels for $11,124.
Some of these goods were purchased for a better price on the private market of XXX (#**3).
XXX(#**4) purchased 36 Bushels for $10,764.
Some of these goods were purchased for a better price on the private market of XXX (#**4).

I accidently typed max purchase price as 30m and quantity as 36.

But there were bushels on sale for $36 on the public. So shouldnt it have purchased them from the public for $36 still.

lol@drinks

yeah drinks, it should, but it doesnt.

if you post a price @ or higher than PM, it will buy from PM. noticed that too

not a bug, just user error and drinks could have cancelled his so.

it is a bug.

if there is 35 $ bushels on public, and you write to buy max price of 400, that means it should buy from 35 to max of 400 before stopping.

Its not supposed to ignore the public market.

it wasnt an SO. It was a mass buy. So i cant cancel as it goes through as soon as i click.

And as LittleItaly said. Its a bug. It shouldnt just automatically buy my private market. It should by the cheapest goods first which is the public market.

If i typed turrets $300 buy 10m. I would want it to buy the $120 turrets on the public market first, and only buy my $210 private turrets as a last resort. I dont want it to just ignore public and buy $210 turrets for no reason.
