It's not so much Auto Buy is ignored as that the Auto-buy for all three are on the same system-which just changed to 'every four turns'(I.e. monthly).
That's possible. I changed the mechanism so that instead of magically replenishing in mid combat, potions don't get restocked until turns end. So it could be just that. That said .... I didn't touch the other two autobuy options. booze, anti-preg and nets should all restock on the fly as before.
I'll have to take another look at it, I guess.
...I swear it's gotten harder to run 'Good' games. I can't explain it. Where before I would break even fairly quickly(Though profits were small but usually consistant), now I'm taking losses almost constantly, and far greater to boot. Nothing's changed in costings.
Well, one of my next tasks is going to be the financial reports I mentioned earlier. If I can get those on the go, we'll all be able to go through the minutiae of what we bought and sold and otherwise transacted, and see where the figures don't add up. There are going to be gold bugs for a while yet, I suspect. I just want to get the major stuff out of the way.
Got this message on a night summery for Cecilia.
"...The customer couldn't pay and your girl turned them over to your men. She got paid 2477 gold, and took 1486 gold coins."
I had let the customer go when he was caught.
That doesn't sound right.
On a side note, I notice that at least once a night someone is trying to rape her, which is weird since she works in the brothel and there are guards.
I think I've been seeing "beaten and raped" messages for girls in brothels since before I started coding on this game. I guess I pretty much assumed that it was by design. I agree that the guards don't always seem as effective as you'd expect.
One idea I'm toying with would be to let you have guard barracks attached to the brothels. You'd have a dedicated force of defenders of the brothel, freeing up one of the slots so you could hire another gang. The advantage would be better guard coverage and better defence. The downside would be that goons in cushy postings would slowly lose their combat edge, and that the girls would tend to get tired faster...
