Oil Issues

[germanguy]

Hi,

Been searching for clues about this dilema.

I am playing as Germany Normal/Agressive, and it is currenlty January 1939. I noticed that my daily Oil is decreasing! Currently trading for 165 Oil, Synthetic plants are producing 40. Yet I am only getting + 1 Oil per day, in reality it should be about 200 a day. Oh and the usual problems of 1,5 minute save times and lag(1 day needs about 8 seconds). I could use some feedback. Thanks

How many synthetic material plants do you have?
they can use a lot of oil.

Note that ships/tanks only use oil when moving. Did you order tanks to move before your oil started to decrease?

Okay did some checking and yes I have 8 Synthetic Material Plants. I also checked the Daily Resource Flow.
Converted by Process:
Oil -150
Energy -378
Metal -64
Rares +28
Ouch!!!
My forces are all stationary.
Now knowing this, what can I do now? How many resources does a Synthetic Material Plant need?

I don't know the conversion formulas, but you can edit the sliders on the production screen that control at what capacity your plants are working.

THans for the help. I will now make some adjustments.

As for the other 2 items I will have to wait and see. Perhaps with a Patch?

i cant give you an exact figure, but the Synthetic Plants that produce Rare materials use a SH*T Load of Oil.

In my Ger Game I have Oil Plants at 140 oil a day, my synthetic are only producing 10, thats all I can afford to produce without losing oil.
