Short summary of your issue Alcohol production is dangerously inaccurate

Game Version
1.05.0.43225

What platform are you using?
Steam

What OS are you playing on?
Windows

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files (Steam only)?
Yes

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Alcohol UI menu shows production and consumption numbers that are inaccurate when I compare them to the alcohol produced by my breweries and consumed by my rackets and standing orders. This is a serious issue because I'm producing almost 150 bottles of Top Shelf from three breweries but the game shows I'm only producing 18, resulting in me running out of an alcohol I should be producing an excess of.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
If you select one of my breweries producing top shelf and switch it to producing rack, you will see that the production for Top Shelf becomes negative, which is impossible. A net negative, sure. But a negative in the production column? Impossible, sign of a bug.

How much "pain" is this causing you?
9

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
I've seen similar bugs where, after I cancel a standing order where I sell alcohol, the game will still show me losing those bottles of alcohol every week, which is really messing up my ability to fund my empire.

I am not a Dev, admin or any type of support, just another player. I and some others have had this same and similar issue where old standing orders and a bug would still show as deducting alcohol from our production and own consumption. we have reported it as well and please feel free to read those post within this forum. I hope you have an old save from where you were still in the positives and the game was still working properly and if so you can start back off from there. At least in my cases 100% and in the other cases I followed I did not see any solution or fix it to this and in my cases that never went away or got fixed ... in other works it ruined that play through and I had to set up a ridiculous amount of breweries and buy out a bunch of other factions alcohol to stay afloat for a good while to finish off one of my games, thankfully I had the cash to do so. My other games I had to quit them as it became nearly impossible to earn an income due to no alcohol and I went into the negatives in income trying to even out. Hopefully you manage to finish that play through real soon or risk losing it all. It's a bug with no fix to it to your specific game right now, period. These nice people will and are looking into these issues and doing all they can to fix them and prevent them from happening in the future I am sure but if you're looking to recover your game from where your at currently with the bugs and issues already in there ... I highly doubt it and as I said bet case is you have an old save before the issue and retry from there in hopes it does not happen again or have enough cash/income to do what I did to stay afloat and finish that game asap (if there's an achievement your going for) Sorry bud
