I have been trading for a long time and one day I logged in and I saw I have 5 million gc less than what I woke up to.
I thought a thief has stolen my gold but I found no evidence. My parrot told me to check my trade profits to which were profitable as normal. My trade report says I made 750K since morning but somewhere along the line I lost 5 million!

Wish there was transaction history for floating gc to know what happened!

Do you have a working Goldsmith?

No my goldsmith is paused. Production prices are not favorable.

Do you have any fleets trading gold bars?

At the time of this occurrence I did not.

Is there an upkeep when ship reaches a port? After I increased my men, I lose money every time ship arrives at port.

There is no upkeep. You are missing something here.

As soon as I reduced number of men hired, I stopped losing money. Barely gaining any now though! Not sure what I am missing but I will keep looking

Mystery solved! Turns out goldsmith was running afterall! So silly of me!

Glad you found it after all
