I have just experienced a similar issue with alcohol as well. Not sure how many hours in but a good bit I would say. I was in the plus in production of alcohol and had 132 whisky been sold as part of standing orders with minor factions. Mind you I had +1 in production of whisky at this point. I cancelled all my standing orders to redirect the alcohol elsewhere so you would figure that would open up 132 whisky making it 133 because of that plus one right? No, I was at plus 57 after all was done. After doing some math and looking into it I was producing 192 barrels of whisky and only 52 where been used by my rackets so it left me with plus 140 to play with so I should be good and plus 140 is what it should show. So I still went ahead as planned and set up standing orders again with 4 other minor factions 35 whisky a piece, that's 140 exactly so it would leave me at plus 0 right? No, I am now currently producing 200, consuming 280 and minus 79 ... that's as of me writing this reply here ... What the game did was miscalculated (+52) what I should have (+140) and took from that and it's how I ended up in the minus. Did some more math and looking into. Added what I ws producing, consuming and what I should have left and it definitely is an error.

HOWEVER! Although it shows me in the negative I have also noticed that I still produce the 200 whisky as normal and it will add it as normal as if I was not in the negative but it still shows that -79 which is an eye sore ... if that was correct (-79) than I should be below zero by now as in previous games and running out of alcohol in my rackets which thank goodness for the game still accounting it correctly even though it reflects incorrectly because that would have been a pain level 20 LOL game breaker for sure after all the time I spent building up this empire in new game.

Beta 1.5 patch, on Steam using a Mac by the way. As soon as I figure out how to correctly upload snapshot I will about this issue and others I may have but for some reason when I upload anything to this page, Doc or snapshot it loads it faulty. I must be doing something wrong as I see so many others post theirs correctly ...

Found a way to upload :p as y'all can see it doesn't add up and it all got corrupted whenever I canceled the old standing orders with the other minor factions. Did not have these new factions with standing orders at the same time. I re created them after the fact

I'm sorry, my previous game archive has been deleted, I opened a new game, I'm sure this is a very serious mistake, this is the archive of my new game, I hope it can be helpful to you, I like this game a lot, but there are still many mistakes at present, I hope I can see better updates and content in the future
