MWIF seems to default to sending London BP in trade to SU. Let's say CW wants to send Calcutta or Bombay BP to SU. How do you do that in the production interface?

Just hit the same problem myself. Had my CW convoys well placed to max production & then did trade agreement to China knowing I had spare resource near there and the game had decided to send the ones from Canada instead which makes two factories idle for CW.

I do know how to change which resource to trade. Although I haven't succeeded in changing the build point.

Guide to change which resource to trade.

1) Click on the resource you want to trade.
2) Click on the 'trade' button.

( 3) A informative message appear and follow its instructions )
4) Click 'ok' to remove the message.
5) Click on the top, blue, field in the box to the left.

6) A box appears and select the Major Power you want to send the resource to and then click ok.

7) Click on the 'recompute' button in order to execute your change.

The end result. 9 CPs freed up for other duties.

In production planning form select, right or left, the wording Build point in the Column labeled Type and the game will ask you if you want to change the source location for this BP

Tried to upload a screenshot but Matrix wouldn't support the file type .png

Hopefully the zip worked and it's attached to this

Thanks Gents - will give that a try.

Thank you. [&o] [:)]

jjdenver,
Per the manual Build Points must flow from a nation's capital, so the system will always use a BP built on the same national area the capital is connected to. That means you can't ship a BP that's close, like Bombay or Calcutta, directly to China.

Sorry, but that's not true. The sending major power can allocate a source factory for build points send. If the CW wants to send a BP to China, the CW can allocate the Bombay or Calcutta factory to send this build point...

Yes, the only requirements are that the factory producing the BP must have a transportation path by rail and/or sea to the BP's destination, that there are sufficient CPs available after all resources have been transported (if transporting overseas), and that you can't send fractional BPs - FREX CW producing at a PM of 1.25 cannot send more than 2 BPs sourced in India.
