    Because you're using more coal than you're producing.
    If at first you don't succeed, sky-diving is not for you.

    His right, your producing 18 coal every 3 minutes (not including travel time). I believe the Iron weaponsmith alone uses 16 coal, go ahead and calculate your input/output.

    I gave you an honest and correct answer. No need for that attitude.
    infact I'll repeat it...

    you're using more coal than you're producing.

    And here is the info needed:
    http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/14816

    Look out for "Production chains", there you will find the information, how many producers you need for processing buildings.

    Thanks but i already looked into the productions chains. That doesn't help me because i'm not using them (not in a linear way, at least).
    I have done some math and it seems i should have a surplus. However, what happens is the opposite.
    That's why i asked for help with this because i could be doing the math wrong.
    Not all the building take the same time in producing or consuming resources. Thus, the calculation is not linear.
    This is how i did it:

    ---> cooking plant (level 3) produces 3 coal in 3 minutes, which means 60 coal per hour.
    As i have 6, it will produce 360 coal per hour.

    ---> bronze weaponsmith (level 3) consumes 6 coal in 6 minutes, which means 60 coal per hour.
    As i have 2, it will consume 120 coal per hour.

    ---> copper smelter (level 3) consumes 3 coal in 6 minutes, which means 30 coal per hour.
    As i have 4, it will consume 120 coal per hour.

    ---> iron smelter (level 2) consumes 12 coal in 12 minutes, which means 60 coal per hour.
    As i have 1, it will consume 60 coal per hour.

    ---> iron weaponsmith (level 1) consumes 8 coal in 12 minutes, which means 40 coal per hour.
    As i have 1, it will consume 40 coal per hour.

    All added up, i should have a balance of: 360-120-120-60-40=20 per hour.

    So, instead of keep talking rubbish, can someone please bother to check and help me?

    ...another one. Is it that damn hard to just HELP people without talking trash ??? IS IT ??? I have my reasons to say what i said, and if YOU DONT KNOW THEM, then dont talk about it.
    I know i havent included the travelling times, but it was on purpose. I know they can have a high influence in the total time, but for the example given, they are irrelevant.
    Now PLEASE, for all the people that which to help FOR REAL, try to focus on the main issue, and not on secondary quarrels. Thank you.
