The Filter Bug in Holding Companies
Releasethe Krakken
I have already submitted a ticket to support but this have been present ever since filters were introduced. So perhaps a piece of wood that we can add to the admins are to blame pile in this game.
I cant think that this have not been reported before.
Basically this shows how the bug works
1. You enter your holding company in this particular one I have about 70 Q1 Food factories and 181 FRM factories.
2. You select Q1 Filter it filters the factories correctly.
3. You select all from the combo box above the companies
This is the result:
if i click on work this is result
As you can see what the expected result should be is that 70 factories should be selected what the actual result is that 251 factories is selected.
Actually it does show 70 factories selected but it has selected my Q7 Weps factories which is in the same holding company and require wrm to complete the job.
Some times it does however keep on selecting 251 factories.
But after I have finished the work this is result
As you can see it decided to work in all Q level factories versus Q1 that was selected. Problem is in this particular holding company my WRM is balanced with my Q7 weps so I never have to gather wrm outside of the holding company.
If however I select raw material it will select all raw material not only WRM as needed.
So a big headache
Just to explore bug further i will get the wrm and return later to this article
Note though that you can in filtered mode select the filtered companies one by one:
Thereby completely nullifying the advantage that filter gives us.
I know I have said that actually the admins are not to blame for the deploy bug but they do tend to let bug fester and grow a personality of their own in the game.

The filters are only for the moving/reset part.
If that is the case then it's even more idiotic on their part.
If I wanted to move companies I could select the 250 by hand, one by one. It's something that we only have to do once a year at most.
Selecting companies for work is something that we do everyday; a filter system in working order is needed for that.
actually that is a nice feature but not what im talking about. used to be you had to buy 50 or so companies manually by opening multiple tabs clicking buy duplicating tab . cant remember assign but think they also improved it later by allowing you to assign multiple companies with one button.
imo you have to split between air,food, weapons and house and then it must display q1 to q7 and then raw material. not certain though you could pull it off in a browser game. but would be super easy on other programs.
you are confusing 2 similar things . look in your holding company there is a filter q1 to q7 i think and raw material. what you are talking about is the filter to send certain companies to a holding company.
Just upgrade everything to Q7 - Problem solved
there are walkarounds for us like just placing q1 food in 1 holding company etc etc. that has been what i have been doing. but when you see ok this region has due to war become less profitable one sometimes moves companies to a holding company with other types of factories, a country like romania doesnt have a walkaround they have to place all their companies in their home regions.
option 2 would be for plato to stop any limits to factories like trade embargoes, ne's direct wars.
option 3 would be just to work in all factories but why should there be features in game that does not function correctly.
