conflicting number of Ha-31's on two dialogs

[larryfulkerson]

I'm finding something strange and I'm wondering how to fix it. According to the Aircraft and Engines Production dialog the number of Ha-31's being produced each turn is 45(0) but the Industry dialog, Engines Tab, says production is turned off. Which is right? Is this a symptom of my game as a whole, I mean are there other problems that I don't know about yet.

Production is turned off. The factory capacity is 45 per month. Turn the factory on and you will produce 1 1/2 engines per day on average. That "NO" is a switch. Click on it and it becomes "YES".

Sounds right to me. But what should I do about the discrepancy? Is there a way to fix that?

Check my edit.

Yes, yes, I know about the "NO" label and how to turn it on. I don't want to turn it on...I'm complaining about the numbers
being different on the two dialogs. And I need another whiskey sour.

[geofflambert]

The numbers aren't different. The one dialog shows the factory capacity, not whether the factory is running or not. Except that it does. The "0" in the produced this day means the factory is idle. It's a little early for whiskey sours. Perhaps that's your real problem. [:-]

Is there somebody else I can talk to?

You really have to go to the industry management screen from time to time. For instance, if you have two factories making the same thing, say 30 per month each, and one is idle the inquiry screen will show 1 made not 2. What the industry management screen lacks is the size of your pool, so you can't make decisions there as to whether it's time to idle a factory or turn one on, you have to use the inquiry screen for that.

I know, I keep forgetting to speak English instead of Gorn.

Even with production turned on, there can be failed production from lack of supply/Manpower/HI points etc. as applicable. That might be local at one base rather than across the board for that industry.

"rate" in the first picture actually is not rate of produciton, but repaired industry units (and damaged in brackets), so it is "potential rate".
You have 45 of those, so it's all fine. I think that those numbers will not change when you flip production on/off and run the turn

Ah so.....thanks. Now it makes sense.

[LargeSlowTarget]

Has the Ha-31 production been set to off for the entire month? If so, why does "production this month" shows 20 engines having been produced?

I noticed this in my current PBEM - I have a "Production this month" for engines I don't even have factories for!

See Aichi Ha-60 and Ha-5 engines in the screenshot below.

Also noticed a lot of factories with "production this month" showing higher production figures than the monthly rate. Overtime for the Emperor!

[geofflambert]

Not sure if relevant in this case, but when squadrons with entirely new aircraft are scheduled to appear, they appear, even though you have no factories to produce them because they haven't completed R and D.

I've had this happen as well. It appears that the last number in the column when the factories are removed just gets 'stuck' in that column. As opposed to getting reset at the start of the next month.

I chalk it up as no biggie.

I've had this too, but some of your numbers seem grossly overstated. No idea why.
