Description:
was origionally found on xebec. also happening on pandora.

The game calcs demands by looking at how much is needed ot make a full stock of what it produces. However, issues arise when something is demanded that is used for multiple produced items.

From what i can tell, the game is displaying the max demanded stock as the TOTAL of what is needed to make everything. However, when trying to add, it sets the limit to what single item will take the most of the demanded item, and any excess is lost.

for example,
If a building makes:
1 item A from 10 item D, with a max of 10. (100 item D to make 10 item A)
1 item B from 5 item D, with a max of 10. (50 item D to make 10 item B)

It will display a max of 150 Item D.
However, when actually trying to stock the items, it will only allow you to stock 100 item D
The game will still show a max of 150, but any item D that you attempt to add over the 100 will get lost.

Reading through the code i can see this happening if you've got item D listed in the 'for sale' items with the limit set to 100, but i'm guessing thats not the case? Could you confirm please?

Looks like the Building Efficiency Calc setting is messing stuff up. The 'stockroom' screen shows one stock limit, the set prices screen shows a different stock limit.

The stockroom menu will let you attempt to add stocks up to it's shown limit. However, any quantity over the limit shown in the 'set prices' menu will vanish.

In this picture, the Stockroom Menu would *let* me try to put in 53 power, but only 5 power will go in and 48 will just vanish. The 'set prices' menu says I can only put in 5.

if i change the Building Efficiency Calc setting so the building has 50% efficiency, then the set prices menu will let me put in 50 items. Or 70 items if the building has 70% efficiency.

It seems that building efficiency is being used as the capacity limit regardless of how many items a building needs.

The world of Edolas is setup with a few buildings if you want to see for yourself

I know that i spent all day trying to figure out the nature of this bug, i noticed that jobs seemed to affect it so i got rid of the jobs. messed around with settings all day, even wrote a brand new bdat from scratch to test it. i know that some building numbers, such as 13,arent affected as far as i know. but many others 14,15, 16, 17 are affected.

Fixed client & server 0.65.8.. Thanks for the detective work

*bump*

Seems to still be around in client 67.6 with server 67.2 on Eden
Doesn't seem to matter what I set Building Efficiency Calc to, Storage Reduction Percentage set to 1

From the outside (capacity 4)


Stock Menu (capacity 4, but buttons to move items don't light up):


Set Prices menu (capacity 0):

I should mention this is when trying to manually stock.
Appears that the building can still have items sold to it up to capacity.

Also only appears to be effecting Store type buildings.

[zaroba]

nevermind, effecting other building types too.
can't add sold items to factories either.

this appears to be a different issue relating to stocking vehicles. *settings -> Economy -> Vehicle Inventory mode set to 0 is blocking the stocking of a vehicles in all buildings. (for no logical reason that i can determine).

Fixed for now by changing the setting to 6 which has no other effect. Client code is fixed for 0.67.7
