So I haven't been receiving any money from the colony I am supposed to start of ( I don't remember right now how it is called so sorry about that ). Which meant that I had to pay all of the wages by my self as well as pay the taxes, in addition to that every time I pay the wages for my people it might say for example "you have to pay 20,000 $ " but when I pay it say "you paid 24,000 $" and that is actually the amount of money I actually pay for. But there is even more to that, when I choose from the policies the tax collection it let me know that I am going to get for example 200,000 $ but when I press ok and send the command I get way less money than what it showed me. So can anyone help? I am really loosing a lot of money for no reason which slows my colony down. Also if you know any better colony that will help me grow let me know and send the charter here. Thank you for your time.
