1877- Game Over

[Rod Smart]

Playing as the US, I've seem to run the game to ground in 1877. I am out of Coal and Manufactured Goods, with no way to get more.

I have every coal pit and manufactured goods factory built. All of them are at maximum production in 100% developed regions with railways. I've turned consumer consumption down to 10%. I have closed every non-essential production facility that is using coal or manufactured goods. I am buying the maximum allowable off the market.

Yet I'm still stuck on -100 coal, and 0 manufactured goods, and have been for over a year.



Too bad, its a fun game and I was doing well.

Tear down your railways perhaps, they use up a lot of coals. Identify why you are spending so much coal.

Check for strikes and other bad modifiers in your regions. Just because you have a structure doesn't mean it will produce anything unless your people are happy and going to work every day. There are lots of things it could be, post a save if you want help tracking it down.

After two years, the bottleneck burst. No idea why, nothing was different from 1877 to 1888 to 1889. Back in the game

Sounds like real life- congrats on being able to continue.
