Contracts and earning money question

[steveed22]

Today I was playing and I selected a contract to export 9T of fruit from Paris to Hamburg, for 338.

I went to the market and I had 2760.38 I bought 20T of fruit for 472.40 and left for Hamburg. I got to Hamburg and I had 2265.14 after docking fees. I sold the 20T of fruit for 514.40. Then after completing the contract I have 2834.62 which means I received around 55 for the contract?

I feel like I should have something closer to 3100, is that right or am I missing something?

Of course, it's not normal. Do you have a save game before fulfilling the contract? It would help a lot.

[steveed22]

I don't unfortunately. I will try to save before/after contracts in case it happens again.

One question. Did you extend that contract?

[steveed22]

I had the same issue. Not sure if these saves help out but the autosave is before and 2/3 are after.

I'm also having some random power-supply and keyboard issues. So maybe we should wait until I resolve those before spending too much time on this. New power supply should show up next week and I plan on re-capping my keyboard controller next week as well.

OK, I got it.

I do have a problem with my contract: I have to sell fruits in Danzig but nothing happens when I click the sell button. Any ideas?

As explained in a private conversation, the goods were either not bought in Paris or were bought before the contract was taken. In neither case can the contract be fulfilled and the city will not buy such goods.

The next update of the game will have information about the status of bought tons in the origin city (both for import and export). This should help the player keep an eye on the goods he sometimes forgets to buy

I've noticed that if I sell more units than what contract dictates, then I'm not getting paid for leftover units.
e.g. If a contract is 10 units, and I sell 25 at once, then I'm not getting paid for for 15 units. Have to first sell 10, then the rest. I must have lost thousands before I noticed this.
