COO Won't Buy From Own Warehouses

[buells]

For some reason my COO hates buying from my own warehouses even if I set the price to $0.01 and have the prefer ordering from own warehouses setting on. It is a real pain to get them to choose the best suppliers in terms of consistent supply. If they keep jumping from factory to factory the demand surges way above capacity. If I batch switch suppliers manually and set the low supply tolerance of the COO lower that does help a bit, but I'd like them to try to stick to the warehouses as even if they are out of capacity at some moment in time they are usually the best bet.

I think there should also be an exception for disallowing subsidiary CEOs from demolishing unprofitable firms. They should be allowed to demolish mines, logging camps, and oil wells that have zero reserves because they are never of any use and they cost a lot per month to maintain. Frankly they should just be automatically demolished regardless of whether they are owned by the player or a subsidiary. Finally, it would also be helpful if the subsidiaries could be set to only do backward integration in certain types of raw materials. Often they want to build a bunch of semi product factories that are underutilized and don't make any money. I may want a sub that just builds logging camps and mines for example or only farms.
