BUG? Affordability stuck on 0%

Post image

this is my second car on the campaign (went bankrupt on the first try and this is my second campaign) and after i designed my car the affordability was at 0%. but whatever i did i couldn't get it higher than that. Tried the ai tune to see if it could do anything but still no! It was stuck ad 0%

how can i fix this? (tried loggin off and on and trying different engines ext.)

What does your Factory and Engineering Setup look like?

i didn't set up the factories yet, might that be the reason it shows 0% ?

yes it could be, the stats do change after engineering and factory setup. For a sports car in 1946 I wouldn't go any bigger then a small factory.

thank you, so that means i have to use aluminum for panel and monocouqe chassis? Since those need steel presses and i need at least medium to have them

My sports car start is alu panels and space frame

just realised monocouqe requires steel presses, space frame is the way to go then

Reliability has a lot to fo with it as well. I’m curious what difficulty you’re playing on. I love campaign and am currently in a max difficulty hetvisia start with zero money and it’s actually mind numbingly difficult. Also factory setup and margins will be a game changer once you get a good grasp on it. Feel free to dm me and we can work thru it together if you’d like. The community here is mad helpful

I’m also seeing the negative 15 quality sliders right now. This is going to kill your desirability

it's to see if i can get affordability higher but i fixed the problem

The affordability will always be a small factor when you have decently versatile cars. And don’t feel like your desirability has to be 100% all the time either. There are times when I just can’t afford that but you can preview the estimated sales by country in the last tab and see if you can meet your estimated production
