Title: Negative Bank Balance
Post by: _bobby_tables_ on April 27, 2018, 02:51:56 pm

Often when starting a game investment will outpace income.  After the initial maximum loan and construction, the running bank balance can briefly go negative between station stops.  Is there a negative limit that you can hit to cause a bankruptcy?  If so, what is that limit?  Does it vary by server?  I couldn't find anything in the settings that controls this.  Thanks.

on a quick chat with our friend google, found this:

checks are done at the beginning of the quarter (1st January, 1st April, 1st July, 1st October) have negative bank balance, 3 quarters in a row.

So, best way to avoid bankrupcy is not being in red WHEN those checks are done. or, at least, avoid 3 in a row xD

Ahh, three quarters in a row.  Thanks for doing my legwork.  I'll remember to hit the gargler next time before posting.
