Auto-supply and auto-sell rules show what their batch costs and how long it travels
The automation settings now quote the smallest batch a rule will ship, with its freight cost and travel time, and warn when that batch would wait for a vessel to fill. Each rule on the business page shows what its last batch was quoted.
Sea departures now wait for a vessel to reach 15% of its load, for up to 60 game days, so a small automated batch routed by sea can sit for weeks. That wait is now visible where the rule is set up:
- Cost and time for the batch that actually ships. The auto-supply form quotes the smallest top-up the rule will order (and, when it differs, the largest), each with its freight and its game hours and real hours under way. The auto-sell and auto-transfer form quotes the next batch the same way. - A warning when the batch would wait. Any batch quoted at more than five game days shows why: at sea, a batch that fills less than 15% of the hull is quoted with the full wait, and a larger batch or a road or air route ships sooner. - On the business page. Every rule now shows its last quoted batch: quantity, freight and game hours, with the same warning when the route is slow.
