is there a thread about how the economic overview exactly works?

[salinda]

i have looked at the economic overview, and i have seen red sqares, with - 500 in it, thous this mean i have not enough of this type?
for example, i have clicked at hardwood planks. i have 4 k planks, 6 k wood and 28 foresters. and at the wood is 500 minus.
i don't get it. can somenone explain it for me?
greetings salinda

I believe it means over the last 12 hours you have lost 500 of the wood, when it is green it means you are making a surplus of the item. At least this is what I think it means, I could be wrong.

The numbers represent your current production over a 12 hour period. So if you have an overall wood production at -500 in 12 hours time if circumstances do not change, your current wood stock will drop by 500 units. The concept is that you can use it to balance your production chains more efficiently.

For example, my flour production was in the red, so I've upgrade a Level 1 Mill to Level 3 and now flour is in the green at +37. My wheat level dropped to +57 but was still in the green so I don't have to add/upgrade any farms.

I could also do with a thread, i still don't fully understand and cannot see anything on the game FAQ's or on the threads.
