Tropico 6

Tropico 6

[BUG] Sort by Deviation in the Trade Route Offers screen sorts by number and not positive / negative
Trade Route offers should sort by the actual value not the number.
So it should NOT sort: +10, -10, +5, -5, 0.
I should sort: +10, +5, 0, -5, -10

This changed in recently. It always used to sort correctly.

Hello, I've tried to replicate the problem on my end, but everything seems to be working as expected, for me it sorts as it should.
What mission are you in or is this a sandbox game?
Did you start this savegame with the current update 23 or is this an older one?
And can you please send us a savegame that shows the problem?

Find your save game file:
For Windows: Look in "My Documents/My Games/Tropico6/Saved/SaveGames/"
For Mac: Check "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application/Support/Tropico6/Tropico6/Saved/SaveGames"
For Linux: It should be in "$XDG_DATA_HOME/Tropico6/Saved/SaveGames/"

Send an email to our friendly support team at support@kalypsomedia.com.
Please include:
Your save game file (just attach it to the email)
A quick description of what's going wrong and that you were asked to send the savegame on Steam.

Thank you in advance :elprezflag:

This is Battle Royale and I saved and reloaded and it went back to normal. I should have taken a screenshot.

Hello again, thank you for sharing the screenshot!

The way it is shown on your screenshot is how it always has been.
For example: the -15% are import trade routes that are in your favor, while the +15% are export trade routes that are also in your favor. This is not a bug unless I am misunderstanding you.

You can display either export or import trade routes and also sort by name or origin by clicking on the symbols on the left. Perhaps you're recalling a different sorting selection display?

You're misunderstanding me. This is NOT the way it has always been. It always sorted by value so +20, +20, +5, +5, 0, 0, -5, -5, -15, -15. That's the way it used to work. Now the sort seems to be by the string and not the value. So now the 15s are all sorting together whether they're positive or negative.

I have 496 hours of playtime with Tropico 6 (single player only, I never played multiplayer) and as far as I remember the way it is shown on your screenshot is how it always has been. It certainly didn't change recently, In any case it's the more logical sort, as the dev explained.

It isn't. And it shouldn't be. Numbers should be sorted by value not alpha, period.

I totally disagree : this button's function is to "sort by deviation" (according to its tooltip), which is exactly that, alpha, allowing the player to see the best routes for him, both import and export. Routes are sorted from best to worst, which is useful and what the player expects.

Always worked like that.

It has always worked the way it currently works.

Also, please don't change it. I would take the ability to filter out imports or exports though.

Maybe there used to be a dual sort then because I never remember my imports being sorted into the middle of my exports.
