and if i shut em down and deposits go and then the cutters should go further?? lol this is not a solution.. this just screws up your production even more...

Ok let me try to explain somewhat more clearly.
What is happening is that the production of a forrester is set to 0 in the economy overview when all deposits are full. I'm not saying that this is a feature or a bug, it just is.
To help people getting a somewhat more useful result from the economy overview I suggested to turn some forresters off for a while. This will indeed lead to deposits going empty, but that is just the point. As long as your forresters are able to fill up deposits you have a usefull figure in your economy overview. It will still go up and down a bit, but within normal bounds.
So if you don't want to shutdown your forresters... don't... but you'll have to accept you can't use the economy overview for usefull information about the forresters, at least untill they'll change it again.
They changed the workings of the economy view because the community requested that upgrading buildings would not count towards the production in the economy overview. I'm guessing that the easiest way to implement that feature was to just ignore all building that are not doing anything at that moment. Unfortunately that has the side effect that the forrester production will do what it does now.
why would you not want an upgrading building to count in the overview, because it is only for a very brief time that it is upgrading
ye well whatever the case i had a diamond clear view of my production before the update always showing the right +- and now I REPEAT EVEN WITH DEPOSITS NOT FULL it goes up and down..
Personally I ignore economy view for some things like pinewood - because it depends so much on which deposit the cutters and foresters are going to right now, it does not reflect what will happen over next 12hrs or what happened over previous 9hrs. My Foresters are normally showing in the red but I don't see tree stumps or 0 deposits.
I think that this anomaly should be given a very low priority for fixing. It does not affect actual game play. Many more pressing bugs and promissed improvements to deliver. But then again I think the economy overview took some of the challenge out of the game. I would prefer BB to give access easy to the raw data and let others develop economy tools etc. BB should focus on core game functionality and bugs.
The economy overview is broken or the game is broken.
I have posted before, and no doubt I will post again, and support do not reply.
Not sure if it is just me but here is the problem
Pinewood, wheat, coal, will stick with these as these have not changed for a long time.
So my map has been the same for at least 4 months, apart from adding the paper and book stuff (which makes my case even stronger)
So this how my overview looks
Pinewood logs, 12,248 in - 12,432, lose 48 logs every 12 hours, that 96 a day, which is a lose of 2688 (ish) a month
wheat, 6,983 in - 7471 out, lose 488 wheat every 12 hours, that 976 a day, which is a lose of 27,328 (ish) a month
Coal, 8,839 in - 1,050 out, lose 1,211 coal every 12 hours, that 2,422 a day, which is a lose of 67,816 (ish) a month
I NEVER turn buildings off which use the above resources, if anything I am buffing my bakery and my weapon/metal smiths so I use more of the above resources.
So can someone please tell me why I have
5k Wheat
34k pine logs
28k coal
I do not buy any of the above, and tbh I give around 20k a coal a week to my GF
So how on earth am I gaining these resources.
The same for hardwood logs as well, I seem to use more water then I can ever make.
The pinewood forresting calculation is for sure one big miss:
Last month I had only level 3 forresters. My tree planting was at about -800.
This month I upgraded most of them to level 4. I didn't change my pinewood cutters, but I'm still at about -800
Just like you, I noticed the same things with pinewood and coal. It seems fine most of the time; going down when you are expecting it to go down. But then, all of a sudden there's a higher amount in your warehouse as expected.
I've never been able to explain it. Perhaps it has something to do with the system going down for maintenance from time to time, which messes up to calculation and does a strange refund?
With wheat however, I never had an issue. But that's perhaps I'm always producing a positive amount of it.

The trees and wheat are subject to change due to the fact the walking distance changes, i.e. when one field depletes the next is used and when a tree is gone he walks further.
The coal I didnt understand as you said 8839 in and 1050 out which would mean you are making 7789 every 12 hours
sorry the coal should of been 10,050.
I do not believe the walking distance would change that much.
