Hi,
It seems like I am to dumb to catch this but Is the trade screen working at all?

Goal: Build up a stockpile of good X that is currently exported
Action: Click on good, turn off automatical trade, set on "sell" and increase minimum stockpile to 1000

Result: Nothing happens although I am one of the top exporter of good X (e.g. coal for Germany).

But when I set on "buy" coal to stockpile 1000, those 1000 are immediatley added to the stockpile (and money paid for of course).

What am I doing wrong? How to increase the stockpile of a specific good without buying it because my country is producing an excess amount?


Thanks for your help!

Atm it's not possible, but I have been lobbying for such an option.

Or maybe it is, if you increase the buy order every day by the amount that is produced in excess :???: But it's much to complicated to actually be done efficiently.
 
Thanks for your comment :)
Buying the stock I need buy using the World Market is ok for me. If factories in my country do produce a surplus of a good I do participate and can invest the earned money to increase "national stockpile".

But what about real scarce goods? Given that I (my country) is the only producer of good X, e.g. planes why cant I prevent that it is sold to my enemies ?
There should be an option, the government is prioritized to buy goods given it can afford it.
That would be more historical as well. No state would have allowed that
- a good is sold to market when the state itself is in desperate need of it
- a military relevant but scarce good is sold to the archenemy.
