District System Feedback

[Eric.B]

I already defined my district, all the factories and branches should sort under the custom Europe west I created. Or under the default Europe if I had chosen that. If I build a new factory in any of the cities connected to that district it should also become a part of that district automatically.

Anything you build in the cities with your districts are automatically in your districts. Because you assign districts as cities, not specifically factories or branches.

I think you're not understanding what I mean. If you have a factory in District A. It can still ship to district B, C, and D even if it's not a part of B, C, or D. Because of that, it would make no sense to show only cars sold in District A for a factory located in District A. Why? Because if A,B,C, and D each needed 100 cars, thus needing 400 cars from the factory. And that summation only showed 100 needed from branches in District A, then people would be bitching about not having all the demand needed for a factory in District A.

What I am proposing above is to show the demand from all the branches that would pull from the factories located in District A. So you know exactly how many vehicles you need to build at that District to fill demand. For me that means taking all your branches and seeing if they pull from a list of factories located in District A. This is difficult to do, thus why it's not done yet.

The reason for wanting a big mega district factory is to simplify adjustments when having more than one factory in a district. The way it is now it has made the game a lot worse.

So you don't run mega districts. You don't have to use Europe. You don't have to use even nation level districts. Hell you don't even have to use district system what so ever. That doesn't take away from the fact that a factory can be in multiple districts, and branches from other districts can still pull from any factory you want it to. Thus your idea for moving the summation of sales from a district to factory view would not work for anyone crossing districts.

So for my Eu side of things. My defined district is Europe west, Currently built branches includes: London, Birmingham, Leeds and Paris. As you see of the picture under. They had 354 sales, 32 Lost sales.

Europe west production menu, should therefore show last months estimated sales of 386. At the moment there is only one factory and that is London.

You are correct, it doesn't show 386 yet. Because of the reason I have explained twice. I have to write the code to parse ALL branches in the world for EACH factory in your district. This does not exist yet.

This is because if you built a factory in Cairo Egypt. And set it to ship vehicles from 5000km away. It would pull from your factory in London. Lets say you sell 100 cars there. Then your 386 figure would be in correct in the production view. Because the demand from your factories (in this case just london) in your Europe West district would be 486.

For that reason I can not move your sales figures for European West to European West Production. Because you need your London factory building 486 units to meet all demand required by it and not 386 units only required for European West.


HOPEFULLY that makes sense for you.


That being said, if you find the distracting system ruining the game, you don't have to use it. The game works perfectly fine without it.
