Supply market flipping to demand market again

Frontier, please take a look. Here is a High Tech / Refinery station that is demanding Performance Enhancers. High Tech stations supply Performance Enhancers. This should never happen.

Sometimes a high tech market doesn't produce every single high tech good. Sometimes every extraction economy doesnt extract every mineral.

Notice how every good but one is ok. This market doesnt make that good.... but it makes the others which are running fine. If it were the problem you were suggesting, I think you would see it in more goods than just the one.

High Tech markets are the only markets that sell Performance Enhancers. They don't buy it. They sell it. This isn't a matter of the station not producing them. They are demanding them. High Tech markets do not consume Performance Enhancers. It even says it in the description:

"Produced on high-tech worlds...."

This is the same issue that was happening last week with a supply market flipping to a demand market.

It's a high tech / refinery economy. Makes sense they might have a demand for performance enhancers even if only medium. They can't make enough to satisfy their own demand.

Couldn't it simply be the case that this particular economy doesn't manufacture/sell that specific product which is now in demand at the station? And because the local economy doesn't manufacture the product, they're seeking said product from would-be sellers? That would seem logical to me. The flipping from supply/demand is a "feature" is it not - the two fluctuate, being influenced by players and NPCs alike...

Flipping from supply to demand is a bug, and supposedly fixed in a server side update last week.

If I had remotely any confidence in following logic of the economies, I would possibly agree with you Katkon. But since this was a bug that was 'fixed' just last week, I'm leaning to the "it's not fixed yet" side of things and hope that Frontier sees this and takes another look.

I'd also like to have others keep an eye out for Supply markets that have turned back to Demand markets, to see if we can get some other examples.

The issue was demand > supply, when AI traders overwhelmed the market with the demanded resources. It was easy to spot because the commodity would have a 0 in the demand columns and units in stock.

Clearly not the same issue as its only flipping one item, meaning there are other legitamate reasons for it.

I see nothing wrong. Stations dont produce everything in their respective economy type. What they dont produce they have a demand in.

The difference between this and the issue previously is that the station is not importing/exporting the item, so the background simulation (NPC's) are not over supplying the item.
Previously, an importer would show as having 0 LOW demand (usually) and high supply, whilst still importing the item at a loss, causing it to be oversaturated with no way to recover.
So far, this appears to be fixed now from the stations I have looked at anyway.

This screenshot shows what the problem was...
Liquor imported, yet no demand and high supply, making all trade related information inaccurate and messing up the pricing.

The station in your screenshot looks like it was generated with that stock amount when the markets where populated.
