Capitalists builds factories without a proper market ?

[Ankios]

The more I play Victoria, the more I begin to realise something. It is not unusual for Capitalists to build factories which will be bankrupted right at the moment they are finished.

I thought capitalists' orders to build came only when there were a demand for the good/production of the potential factory.

But the problem might be an other one : the Capitalists do build factories when there is a demand, but they don't check the cost of the production and the price, and then might build a factory that can't have clear profit.

Does anyone noticed that as well ?

No, because my laissez-faire government doesn't care what people produce. It is their job

I'm more concerned, that the NF to promote certain type of factory might not be working.

I do agree with that but my current laissez faire country just add more and more factories that bankrupt in the weeks following the end of their construction.

I just find that odd...

Do they still if you subsidize them and promote craftsmen by NF in the state?
I mean it shouldnt be neccessary IMO to do this, but it helped some of my factories from closing so people got work there, but still they were not profitable, and then I guess the silly capitalist who built it does not make any money, in addition the poor craftsmen that has no minimal wage will not earn anything either i suppose.

This has been noticed and the developers have said it will be fixed in the next patch.

Until then, Laissez Faire governments are at a disadvantage economically. I've noticed my industry grows much more reliably under Interventionism and State Capitalism for this very reason.

Well the problem was not the number of people working in the factories. The problem was the production was not profitable.

However I noticed a change. I was not under laissez faire, I was just having that kind of policies, and that's why I was full of bankrupted factories.

Now I am under laissez faire and capitaslits just destroy all the bankrupted factories.

Good to know about the patch
