Hi i have the problems that if i set auto route for a ship, right before the ship sails from the city, some goods disapears, but if i move the ship manually it doesnt hapens. i just starting the game but that is so annoying
thanks for any answer and sorry for my bad english that maybe make this thread a little hard to understand

If you are auto trading then your trades happen at the same time as all the other automatic trades, other Merchants buying or selling. If you trade manually then, the game is paused while you have the market dialogue window open and the trade happens when you do it and not when all the other automatic trades happen.

i think that i have manual, but i'll check when i get home, i started playing yesterday and some things i dont really control , but in example i have added the route, so the ship moves automatically, i purchase wood to take to the home port, let the ship sails automatically to home and whe gets home there is no wood. after that i checked the stock of a ship when moving and rigth after sails some stock disapear. i'll check if is auto or manual

that's it, i just didn't understand the auto trading well, the captain was selling the goods
best regards
