There is a lot of ports that i see are running low on stock.
I thought that maybe it could be a good idea to allow players to be able to sell stock in the resource market, even if the resource is the same one that the port produces.
This might allow some new trade routes and possibilities to work together to keep supplies in ports available instead of sitting at 0.
To prevent abuse, maybe limit the price to only be the same as or +1 more than port price.

I think if you don't choose to not personally warehouse the stock for yourself then your plantation sells it to the port and it becomes stock.

Plantation is there to fix that problem, but it's pretty funny that it is having the opposite effect and the devs thinks that's fine.

only way players cannot make money without having ships moving currently is them not being allowed to hussle with resource port produces. i see no reason to change that. if there ever should be way added so same good port produces would be sellable, the sale should be directly to port, and with low enough price that it allows no profit after factoring east/west india, wh tycoon and duke bonuses.

I'm not entirely against this idea, however, there is a drawback. If a player produces on a plantation/sawmill/etc. and sells it directly to market, there is a "fixed" price that they earn from the port for producing the resource and selling it to the market. This amount will always be less than what the port sells the resource for. So if the port sell for 10, you selling to the port would be for example 9. You couldn't allow a player to produce the resource and then sell it at 10 from the market. No one would produce to the port.
