Daily Surplus not added to budget

[Decibel]

Hi Guys

This is a problem I've noticed before with UK games but now I've noticed it in my latest China game.

This problem is that even though my Daily surplus as shown on budget screen and popup infobox is between 700 - 1000, but only 50 - 200 is added to the total.

There have been no changes to the budget.
The budget screen is always closed before proceeding.
Imports are already covered in the calculation of the daily surplus.

Is there a solution to this bug.

Thanks

I think the number in the pop up infobox the number of dollars total you bring in from taxes, tariffs, ect. with out stuff like the money you pay for military, education, ect.

The infobox is the Revenue. And the profit show in the budget screen is the Net income.

I don't think that's the problem. I have the same problem in my China game. My surplus is definitely around 800-900, and was consistently so for some 10-15 years and then all of a sudden my income fell to 10-20. I mean it still says that I'm earning 800-900 but it doesn't get added to the budget...

Take the opportunity to reduce taxes and max out spending on everything.
See if that takes money away.

just in case:

you have the close the budget screen for the changes to take effect

Understand, I have never played either China or the UK, so I don't remember ever seeing daily income in the numbers you are giving us, so I'm just throwing this out in the random chance that it may be relevant.

Is it possible that with you making so much money per day that you have some unreasonable amount of money in your treasury now? You know, like about 14 gazillion pounds or so - in other words you've reached values that the programmers either never expected a player to reach or wanted them to reach. It may be possible that you have reached some programming limit introduced by the variable type defined for either income per day or the treasury itself, and so your daily income shows up as being truncated once the limit has been reached.

It's just a possibility. I don't know that this is the problem. If you do have a huge amount of money in your treasury, try spending a bunch and reset your taxation and tariffs so that you lose money back to some reasonable amount. Let us say around 300,000 or so pounds, and see if things get themselves straighted out.

Another possibility: there is a very random bug that causes players to see brief periods of extremely high daily income for no logical reason. In all the years I have played I have seen this only once or twice. If you stop the game and restart from an earlier save, this bug has yet to repeat itself. So it is a random bug.

Perhaps you are seeing the reverse of this random bug, but instead of seeing massive daily income, you are seeing massive daily loss, somewhat mitigated by your normal massive daily income.

Have you tried stopping the game and reloading from an earlier save game and see if the sudden income loss repeats itself?

I have had the problem playing the USA. Not the hugh income levels or a large surplus. But I show a positive daily amount and still lose money in my total. If it is the case that the military maintainence (army and navy) does not reflect the daily cost of supporting the same then I would appreciate it if someone from Paradox would add the information to the Vicky Wiki manual.

Thanks.

there is some strange bug in the budget, where u make lets say 100 a day but only get 80 added, and if you decrease that 100 to 79 u start to lose money.
