watch the growth in their reserve income for a few days and then see if one of the following scenarios is happening
1) reserve income grows to 100, then drops, starts building back to 100, drops again, and the cycle keeps repeating.
- Cause : your capis make enough income to purchase life & everyday needs, but not enough to purchase their luxury needs (which are purchased once reserve income hits 100) and thus you end up in the luxury good loop.
- Solution : your capis need more income. Either increase exports (which will give them more daily income) by improving technologies of production to make them more efficient, improving infrastructure to increase efficiency, or if possible building new industries, or cut back your taxes and tariffs (which gives capis more money to buy things) or both until capi reserve income hits 100 and keeps growing.
2) reserve income is decreasing/at 0.
- Cause : your capis do not make enough income to purchase life & everyday needs, perhaps due to the amount needed to fill their needs rising (quantity of good demanded for each need is tied to the number of financial and industrial techs you have researched - if you research these areas too fast, demand for good can outgrow growth in capi income until eventually capis no longer make more money per day than their life & everyday needs cost, result in declining reserves until they reach 0.)
- Solution : your capis need more income. Either increase exports (which will give them more daily income) by improving technologies of production to make them more efficient, improving infrastructure to increase efficiency, or if possible building new industries, or cut back your taxes and tariffs (which gives capis more money to buy things) or both until capi reserve income hits 100 and keeps growing.
