Thank you for the incredible usefulness of your mod for all this time.
That one of the major issues with the trade system has been reworked officially is a testament to how serious the situation was, and thereby how irreplacable your mod was in fixing it.

Thank you for sharing it with us and keeping it working for as long as you have!

this mod doesn't seem to be needed now. If you want minimal trade, then go ahead, but the default game isn't robbing you blind like it used to.

Thanks for what you did in this mod! I plan to load a game without mods, see what bothers me, and then load new mods to fix what's still broken or what got broken anew! :-)

I'm not sure if this is still needed. they didn't change what i changed in the mod, but they did (apparently) fix the underlying problem where foreign countries could buy your goods at well below market price.

I just play the first 50 years or so, so i haven't tested it late game.

you can expel their diplomats and start an embargo on them, (or declare war on them), to halt the export.

the other thing you can do is kill your chair production (for example, set logging to not harvest hardwood, which prevents luxury furniture and regular furniture if factory makes both.) when trade route goes away, then restart your production.

Lol, just noticed my oil wasn't being protected. BRB, gonna raise tariffs on it to keep it in the country. :-D

Follow-up note... I'm still having an issue with all my furniture getting sold to the USA, UK, China, and Russia. I'm protecting it on mercantilism, but because the AI apparently does not prioritize domestic furniture production, even with the 25% tariff, I'm still the cheapest source of the stuff, to the point where my people got no chairs while we sell everything to deal with these level 100 trade routes. This has a knock-on effect where I'm short 10K wood, because of all the export demand. I'm going to try protectionism to see if that works out, but of all the goods I export, that's the only one where it's doing 37K of the 45K that I make. I do have a slight shortage of oil, but only around 2K of 82K are getting exported, so job well done there.

nice, thanks

I've tried the others, this is the one that did the trick for me. No longer do I have -10K groceries and -11K chairs and -12K shirts because I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD MAKING THOSE THINGS! By not letting the player be an infinite source of goods, other nations have to step up their game in making staples and they do a good job of it.

thanks.

it isn't perfect, but it moves things in the right direction. There is still an issue where they get too good of a deal on the price to buy the goods (I can't find where this is done, so i think it is hidden code). The additional tariff helps to compensate, at least. And the amount they steal is much less.

It seems to be working I no longer see France trying to Export 770 Cloth from my (Swedish) Market like I used to, or huge amounts of Iron and Wood.
