Bringing the demand down so low WILL help it makes the growth faster the lower the demand average is.]]> Sat, 20 Aug 2016 19:33:49 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1197-about-those-dangerous-fads.aspx Message from Vulpex Sat, 20 Aug 2016 17:53:04 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1197-about-those-dangerous-fads.aspx Message from Doctor Dread

Here is my experience:

Location:

Western, Gulyaev V

Event ID - 1392
Event ends - Turn 1965

Stage: 2 - Voters have elected to BAN this dangerous fad - Ends: 1965
As a result of this outcome every product in the Gadgets category will fall by 100 and the population of planet Gulyaev V will increase 1% over the next 100 turns.


Ok so far so good.

But here is the problem.

We are in turn 3074 (over 1000 turns since the fad ended) demand for gadgets which have never been sold in Gulyaev (e.g. cellphones) is now at 12.8 % - I also checked after 500 turns, demand at that point was at 7.8 %.

At this rate I expect it will take something between 3000-5000 turns for a new city to recover from one of these fads.

If this is working as intended - fine, but it does seem a bit harsh when trying to setup an economy in new systems.
