[Implemented] Trade Profits Correction

[Donald Trump]

I am sure this is quite minimal, but it gets irritating from time to time.

When I am using rum cards for ports I have the storage of 100k+ at, the general trade report tab says that me storing rum at say Kanoni is making me lose money, but when I use the rum card, I gain more money than I lost. This makes the general trade report tab give false knowledge about my trade profit overall.

Ex: I have a rum card, and at Kanoni I have a warehouse with 100k storage. The trade route I use is Kanoni (store) - Baramas, and my general trade report tab says I have lost 1million every day, but I have used a rum card and made 1million everyday instead.

So instead of the general trade report recording my trade route profit at Kanoni - Baramas, it doesn't. In other words, any use of storage at trade routes will not be recorded at the general trade route tab.

Can you explain again?

I think the only way it would show is if the amount of gold you are wasting on storing instead of selling is greater than that of the trade routes you are actually running to counteract it. It shows the deficit because you are losing gold by buying a product and storing the goods without any income from it.

I edited the original so it makes more sense.

General trade report contains only what your fleet and warehouse TRADE. trading does not include voodoo.

if i remember correctly, there was already a thread on this topic and some new form of profit/asset reports will eventually be developed. until then, you can simply use math to determine total profits.

If you set a route to store goods instead of sell, then it will be on loss. Coz it will buy things without selling them.
This doesn't mean you are losing gold, of course you recover the gold using the party cards, but just that the route is on loss.
If I understood correctly what you mean.

A possible solution would be to make the "party cards" to convert the gold coin as warehouse income.
This solution should be enough.

Alternatively, we could add an other category where we could list the income of voodoo there. We can use the Other category to record Gold Bars expense as noted here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2122

At all cases Approved.
Some feedback is welcomed though.

1.8.21: Potato Party, Rum Festival and Tobacco Gathering now log their profits into the Warehouse category.

We ended up that just as when you sell a crate from your warehouse, this is logged into your Warehouse profits, this is how the "party" cards profit should be also logged.

It is now implemented. It has no backwards compatibility. This means that any "parties" that have been hold till now, are not logged in there.
