Description: This bounty will smooth the demand curve by using more historical averaging in the autoproduction system. Instead of taking past month and next month estimation, the system will will use a trailing demand average and a small inventory threshold. The latter could be superseded by other bounties.
Requirements: None
Required By: None
Concerns: This will not fix the problems many have with auto production in the New Production system. It might mask it for some turns, but the bigger issue is spikes in demand (up or down). This will do nothing for that. Additionally this will increase turn times a bit.
Eric's Opinion: The new production system was not designed for auto production. It is not intended for you to be using auto production systems with it. As such, I think improving these systems is going to be a crutch, especially if other bounties like component production and inventories becomes a thing. But you all play the game much more than me. So, it's your choice. That said, Combined with a inventory margin target, it might be able to handle demand spikes that many people complain about. Although that won't resolve the inverse, massive amounts of inventories.
