How can I See whether gold/gem conversion is on ?

[Kensai]

Go to the F4 table and you will see your gems and gold being "tagged" to be decreased for next turn (you will see them converted). If memory serves well, I always click the button twice to get it started, don't know why.

[Norljus]

I see absolutely no difference when I press that button. Not in the gold column nor in the money column. I play as USA, so I have 2 gold from mines. And I also have buy orders out. Does consumption from the population take precedence over the conversion ?

[RamonaMathis]

I see no difference as well even when I have pressed the button not once...

Maybe you don't have enough for it to begin converting it. I think internal sales take precedence, once you build up a significant stockpile then it will begin to convert.

I notice the higher my saved stockpile is the more gold gets converted as well. So I try and maintain about 100 gold in my stockpile before I start converting. Conversion vs. income usually balances out and my stockpiles stay at around 90 or so.

This is with seven of the nine possible gold fields in California built, before that period the US has to rely mainly on taxes.

I think BEST solution will be color changing for on/off conversion of all/any gods. Hope they will implement it, after all it is changing colord of around 4 icons and few lines of code.

The conversion of goods is also listed on the same line as the national sales and/or craftsmen production in the gold/gems column. (I can't remember the name right now, but it is right below the amount from trading). It says something like +1 craftsman, -10 national sales, -5 conversion of goods.

For food conversion, looking at the second to last line of preserved food to see the net positive after consumption is also a good indicator unless the converted amount is tiny.

Are you seeing inflation with that level of conversion?

There just needs to be a shadow on the conversion button when it is depressed.

Are you seeing inflation with that level of conversion?

I'm not 100% sure. I have found some unknown inflation in my economy screen from time to time (found 1% a few times and found 5% once) and assumed it was caused due to conversion, but I never got an announcement telling me where it came from. So I "think" the answer is yes, but I can't confirm it for sure.

I generally leave conversion on for 3-4 turns and then turn it off for 1-2 turns, so it may be possible that I’d be seeing a lot more inflation than I have seen were I to leave it on for a longer period.

The +5% event is most likely due to financial panics. You will get a message that a panic has hit your country. At that point, you get +5% inflation, and a contentment hit to your provinces (approximately 4 point drop, but can be more or less), as well as losing a lot of private capital.
