New player, can't buy!

Post by RickyOswaldIOW »

Hi there, I am totally new to oolite but I am a seasoned computer gamer. I have read through the First Flight but when I came to sell my first set of wares it seemed that I had managed to not buy them successfully! Anyway, I decided to simply start from the beginning as I was only a few minutes into the game and when I go to buy the liquour/wine I can see that I can afford 3t leaving me with 19 credits change but when I hit return I hear a beep and it refuses to sell to me! I should have space for 20t and I have enough credits, I've never run the game before or anything, just downloaded the most recent version. Any ideas?

Right I see, I wasn't meant to press right 3x AND press return, I just do one or the other :P

Sorry :oops:

Welcome to the board and the Oolite universe, you're well on the way now, happy trading.

BTW don't forget to save your game after each trip :wink:
