And isn't it possibble to make a compromise? For example, I believe that it could be useful to make an offline historical feature - if the engine could write the values into a text file at the end of every day/week/month, then it could be also useful... you don't have to ruin/modify the game's GUI in this case and the gamers would be glad
As this game is really about the long term changes (almost every production, social changes are really long term and this is always stressed by the devs), I constantly miss such feature....

Yes they should make it easier to see how much ur imports cost per ton/barrel/unitSebastiaan wrote:I agree. In the beginning I got frustrated with the game because I could find yhe yearly overview as is present with any other economical game I played. Out of desperation, I'm now using old fasion pen a paper to track the market value of Oil and other resources which a huge effect on my economy.

Is't this just wrong?
Immagine you are the new elected supreme ruler of a real country. You want to know how your country did financialy last year. You make an appointment with your financial Minister. When you meet, you ask if you can get an overview of the total income and expenses done last year. Now, immagine the Minister Finances saying that he cannot give you an overview of how the country did last year. On the otherhand he can give you a prognoses of next year income and expanses. unfortunatly, his department only consist out of impisils who can only calculate this figure based on previous day expences.
Get my point?

Dumping data is easy to do but we don't want to pull a player out of the game to look at data in Excel. I'm not sure what you mean by "fudge factor" but we just don't want players to given a reason to alt+tab out of the game.Fordson wrote:I have already been shut down on this request! I thought that dumping the data to a text file would be an easy task for a developer. I could do it in 10 minutes if I had the source code. Guarenteed!!!
There may be a fudge factor that shows up under historical analysis, hence this data is ignored.
