I have a colony where I’m supposedly making money. I checked everything and every month it says I made money when it takes money out. I even tried firing all my soldiers just trying to change the number and that month the healer, academy and rat catchers went without pay.
Something bugged in my game and it’s making so I cannot make money at income time.
After I lose money it’ll look like a positive income but people won’t get paid and money is taking out.
This happened to me so can confirm you’re not crazy. I wish i could tell you what stopped it. but it did go away. i disabled all my towers. I had recently built a fort or barracks or whatever the first level is called. but it had no soldiers yet. so it shouldn’t have been costing anything.
I was experimenting with it and loading saves before a month change and turning the speed up and it would say a made a certain amount but instead of making that amount it would subtract it. I’m not using it to predict the future. I’m trying to use it to figure out what happened in the past and the data just isn’t adding up the same as what is happening.
I actually think I found the problem from a solution that makes sense.
I went back to the older autosave. It’s about not having a vault and being out of space for gold. I bet I could replicate it but it seems the game does a weird thing and people weren’t getting paid from the generated when space was gone.
So I reloaded made a vault in preciosity and that corrected.Stone was really really tight this game.
Checking totals over the time I have the actual order this seems to happen in. It tries to add money. Money space runs out and it stops. It tries to pay people in the next step. Since the money didn’t have space to get added the amount paid to people is way over what you can pay. Like a single compost brought me negative because I had space for 2 gold. It checks out if I calculate with space in a save directly before the monthly ledger.
The monthly ledger will then falsely report what I tried to do. This will give no indication where things went wrong.
Weird. Like why not just take the net total and make adjustments and give a message that money was lost due to not having space.
