[Oceania 1.20q] Cannot build road with bad logistics

[ooomalley]

(Sorry for the poor thread title, I don't know how to describe the issue concisely.)

I cannot build a road too far from my SHQ, but only when I have bad logistics. I think--this was never a problem before and I'm not sure what's going on.

I am running out of logistics going to my capital/SHQ, Halkan. Specifically, there's no remaining logistics between it and the hex to the south, though there are 464 points in Halkan and 2,704 in the hex to the south (see picture 1). The Initial Logistics view has 5k in the city and 7k in the south hex, and plenty of stuff is getting delivered to/from the SHQ.

I know I need to build more and generally tighten up the network, but the issue is that I cannot build roads more than about 20 hexes from the capital. (In previous turns, I've built tons of roads far away.) I have > 4,000 IP and the roads I can't even build a dirt road to a single plains hex. Picture 2 has a place where I can build a road, but picture 3 shows where I can't (though the mouse cursor didn't come out, but it was over one of the un-highlighted hexes).

(I'd like to attach the save, but the forum software doesn't accept the file type.)

I'm only speculating that the logistics is the cause of the bug. I also cannot build a road _from_ any hex south of the city.

Is there a workaround for this? It's really cramping my style. Also accepted: suggestions for improving my logistics network.

Could you tthe latest open beta? I think it fixed this issue.
Best vic

I would love to, but reading the other thread, it seems the open beta is not available to folks who have the game through GOG. Or has that changed?

[Vic]

Nope but a new release version should arrive next week.
Sorry for lack of open beta's for GOG, but it is already a lot of overhead to do them both for Matrix and Steam.

[ooomalley]

I understand, no worries. Looking forward to the new release!

I don't suppose there's any way to convert my GOG copy to a Steam or Matrix copy?

You'll need to ask publisher support as I dont handle sales. Just make sure you specify you want to participate with the open beta's which are not on GOG. They might. No promises though.
