Title: Order Books
Post by: metallurgy on November 30, 2022, 11:56:31 pm
Not sure if this goes here or not...

I have joined worlds where order books allowed 3 planes a month, and worlds that allowed 10 planes a month, per manufacturer. Why is that, and how is this parameter possible, and how would I go about getting either parameter in creating a private world?

Thank you for advice or tips.  Happy Flying!!   :)

By default, each production line gets 10 production slots per game month.
Every quarter, aircraft manufacturers evaluate forward orders and production capacity / slot utilization. This could lead to production lines being expanded for a period of time if there is demand. Based on this mechanism, the most I have seen thus far is 150 slots a month.

Regardless of how many production slots a month there is in a production line, the maximum that one single airline could occupy is 30% of the production slots available per month. That means...
10 slots = max 3 per airline
20 slots = max 6 per airline
... and so on.

For worlds with official brokers, brokerage requests count towards the airlines' own slot quota. Private leases count towards brokerage orders.

Hope this helps.

Ok. I am not that good in math, so if there is a bug that involves math-like algebra to figure out if there is a bug, I wouldn't be the one to ask. All I know is one of my worlds I am in has manufacturer lines that give out 10 lines per airline, per month, for infinite time. As long as that is not a bug, I am good with this. Thanks for clearing it up.
