I've admittedly only played one Sandbox game, but I'm very curious as to why industrial goods, which are so critical for the economy of the game, are always at a shortage. I'm playing as South Africa in 1952, and even the US and USSR seem to be suffering from shortages. Consumer goods also seem to be extremely rare. I can't comment on military goods because I haven't played with the military much -- what with not wanting to fight the UK and probably the rest of NATO
-- but they seem to also be in short supply.
Is this just a feature of my particular game at this particular stage, or is it something more persistent?
