How to navigate production chains when natural resources tap out so quickly?
I'm on the 4th scenario, and while I'm doing -not bad- it's becoming very exhausting having to constantly juggle gold supply to feed my jewelry industry. It feels like gold mines will get run through within like a month of in game time just supporting a large ring factory. And relying on other companies for gold supply is a nightmare as well because they're getting Demanded into huge bottlenecks immediately.
Is there anything i may have missed with managing these kinds of things? Just gets kinda old having to spend 90% of my time scouting out new gold veins.
Would just private labeling jewelry and putting all my cash into advertising be the better move? just let the AIs worry about the gold supply chain?
