It's happened numerous times across multiple games. As soon as the private sector touches the red there's no coming back to the white. I assume it's a simple mathematical error causing this to happen. My private sector went from -4k credits to -4200k credits with a cashflow of +171k. It's like the cashflow adds to the number that's represented in the negatives. Perhaps an absolute value is used somewhere and the negative is applied later.

Please fix this. Also DW2 has been mediocre in comparison, so please don't tell me to just get the new game. I already have it and can't recommend it in its current state. It's 2022, why can't I queue orders?

Hi Jadey

Distant Worlds is a complex game. think what you are experiencing could be explained in tgis post from 8 years ago

............................................................................
"It was two pirate smuggling missions on some outlying colonies which had been resource starved. With the strong pirates and mid-game economies in full swing, it turns out they can deliver a lot of goods... wow.

Lessons learned. Apparently the private sector pays for that, and they keep paying even after they run out of money. I now apologize to the game for doubting it and accusing it of having bugs. LOL. I do wish there was some way to see all the cash flow, for situations like these.

Hopefully this will help anyone else that runs into this problem."
