Modding's command not work correctly

[Nick3210]

I found that the commands like: command = { type = free_oil value = -280 } not work correctly.

This additional resource consumption do not summed with "Usage" during the hourly resource consumption.
Therefore, in the absence of oil, the oil never ends!

Example

Germany-36, Oil:

Home Produced: 124
Usage: -8
Additional (domestic civilian) consumption: -280

If the oil reserves ran out, game mechanics will work as follows:
Every new day at 00.00 hour GER will have 124 Oil. Then every several hours it will be in proportion to the decrease (8 Oil per 24 hours).
At 23.00 it will be 116 Oil (124-8). And next day it will be 124 Oil again!
So, Germany have terrible negative balance of oil, but never have less than 118 Oil ! Bingo! All units have no antibonuses, Germany have no need to worry about Oil !

To fix this problem we should to sum both parts of consumption, and per-hour decrease should be 8 + 280 = 288 Oil per 24-hour (-12 Oil per hour)!
Thus, at 11.00, every day German Oil will be over! That's would be correct mechanics!

At this moment, using this type of commands is the only way to make game with realistic world oil balance and it is very important for my modding.
So, would you be so kind to fix this problem in next patch, please?

My guess at the bug here is that home produced is the last line in the daily total summation. Negative values during the equation are increased to 0 and therefore this is an illogical process as reported. Perhaps a simple solution would be to allow a deficit for oil cut-off at -99 or something so that nations can indefinitely be without fuel or 'low on fuel' for gameplay. Logically off-map modifiers should be the final operation in the daily total sums but, changing that would probably be a more complex task. Adding free_oil/24 to Usage as Nick suggests doesn't make any sense to me though.

Of course it is absolutely no matter for me how technically it can be fixed, the result is important
