Just a couple more questions for you guys [;)]

1. Why can I expand some Industries and not others ? I have some HI that I can't expand ? Not that I probably would - but the option just isnt there.

2. When you produce aircraft frames and don't have enough engines to create an actual aircraft does this get stored somewhere ? And how can we see this list ?

3. I asked before but never got an answer. Does anyone know (perhaps a programmer can answer this) what order the factories run in ? I assume HI goes first, but then which order ? Important information if I'm trying to build up vehicles and the repair shipyards keep stealing all the HI points.

Thanks,

Xargun

1. Insufficient supply for expansion at that industry's location (something you have to get used to as the Jap player [:)]).

2. Good question. Don't know off hand.

3. Another good question that someone else will have to answer. However, if you really want to concentrate on building up your vehicle pool, you could try turning off some of the shipyards to save HI points.

Isn't economics fun.

Just out of curiosity, why would ship repair yards not repairing ships use up resources? Or do they use up a baseline amount of resources when inactive and the consumption rate goes up as more ships come in for repairs?

I see an easy way to save some HI right at the beginning - turn off Repair Shipyards. Yes, I know I will need some soon, but not for the first turn or two - the ships can't get back that fast.

3) Things run in the required order to produce stuff.

Think from the goods to the resource.

I need a tank.

Tank needs vehicle factory + manpower points

vehicle factory needs hi points

hi points needs oil + resources

manpower points needs resources

all checks passed, tank rolls off the line.

Thanks for the reply Mr.Frag, but its not what I asked. I mean does Naval Shipyards get HI points before Merchant Shipyards ? Or Engines before aircraft production ? Order like that..

This industry/production interface looks like it is fairly difficult, maybe I will begin to understand it better once I have the game in front of me. But for now reading these posts make me more and more confused.
