Home Island Aircraft Production

[Spartan3056]

Gentlemen,

I am fairly new to the game. I am currently playing a PBEM as the Japanese, late June of '42.

I am having difficulty producing Japanese A/C, particularly in Maebashi, hex just north of Tokyo. I have gone days with no production of A/C. Supply is at 25k, fuel 0. I have several hundred HA-35 engines. In all other cases of non production, my cities have plenty of all materials.

What newby fact am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to manually move supplies there so the factories will repair.  Need >20,000 supplies.

Firstly are the factories repaired ? If not then Pax has a case (except it's >10K supplies to repair)... otherwise it comes down to HI, engine avail and of course that the plane is available, cause supplies & resources have nothing to do with building planes ... got a screen shot of your production ?

Also do yourself a favour and get Tracker [;)]

[Spartan3056]

Gentlemen-Thanks for the reply.

The factories in Maebashi are repaired. Supplies weren't as advertised in some other cities, will see how they do in the next several turns.

Attached is the screen shoot of Maebashi and some other cities.

Let me know where I am fouling up.

Thanks

Well there is no fail on the Ind in question; BUT you have NO HI POINTS >>> looks like most of the HI is producing, but that maybe you are over budget on expenditures !! If you like I can PM my email address and have a look at a savefile for you if you like ...

I code Tracker and have offered my services before to others (if you are worried because it is PBEM)

Cheers

[n01487477]

... Furthermore why do you have 420 HI switched off ?
... Shutoff some Arm production, you have a large-ish cache of points there already.
... Maybe have a look at your Merchant build and streamline there too ... cause you have a good surplus.
... what Engines do you have surplus ... are they for later models or are you still building engines you may never use in the future ?


... you're going to need to increase your Veh production to about 150 +

[seille]

That is my production in a Japan vs AI game in May 42.
I did several changes in plane production and increased vehicle production.
Plus the problem i got Palembang with 80% damage. That´s because my fuel production is
still too low.

I do not have these extreme problems in my game.

What i think is a bit strange is that even you´re just a month in front of me with your game
you have a ressource amount of nearly 19 millions stored compared to my "only" 8.6 millions.
I produce actually a surplus of 14.900.
I would need 671 days of production to get the ressources amount you have stored !!

Did you turn off the HI and/or LI for a longer time or is this a modified game ?
My HI pool is growing turn by turn.

[Spartan3056]

Gentlemen,

I can only plead stupidity in shutting the HI off.
I turned them off in areas where there was no fuel and they were consistently not producing.

I thought it was a fuel issue and was trying to get fuel to the source.

As for the large quantity of resources. I am playing the standard December 8, no special mod. I have moved in resources from the Sapporo area since the beginning. Lots of it.

Again, newby moves on my part.

Any more thoughts?

Look for a balance, cut the fat in expenditures ... I gave you the option of me looking at it for you... get Tracker / Staff loaded and have a look cause the in -game interface has some discrepancies with what it real.

[Nomad]

You have made some bad decisions along the way. The best way to get some help is to take Damien up on his offer, send him a turn file and password and let him look at it. My guess is that the "extra" 10 million resources comes from a lot of Heavy Industry that did not produce.

[seille]

To get 10 million extra resources i would have to shutdown my complete
heavy industry for 70 days ! That way i would have lost about 1.8 million tons supply.
If you really did this it was really a bad mistake. Not shutting HI down, shipping fuel to
the places missing it is the right way.

But what i still can´t follow looking at your screen:
The 13k+ HI points you produce actually would be enough to run my economy without problems.
Maybe Tracker would show the real problems.

Since Damian is a real specialist for problems like this i recommend to send him a turn.
And of course you should start using AE tracker.

[Spartan3056]

Gentlemen,

Yes, I have made some mistakes. Some serious, hopefully not fatal.

And yes, I sent Damian a saved turn and I am following his generous advice.

Lastly, I am installing the Tracker as soon as I finish this reply.

I will keep you updated when I straighten my economic mess out.

Thanks for the help.

That's good. It is not that you made mistakes, we all make mistakes. But it is impossible to see one single screen shot and make any recommendations. I would have to do as Damien requested, see the turn file and load it into tracker to see what is happening.

[EUBanana]

This sort of horror story is why I find it very hard to take the plunge and play the Japanese!

[Puhis]

There really should be possibility to reduce factory production, other than turning factory on/off (or is there?) At least I over-expand some of my factories every time... [:(]
