PSA: Minimizing risk is still not working as intended and it will sap your earnings

Discussion

Basically I'm doing a test to see whether my minimizing works in patch 11 and after.

My fleet is at 7,993 active followers

Currently I'm doing trading + harvesting, harvesting is really demanding on foods and supplies.

Each day I'd lose about 20% of foods and supplies bar and it will cost around 17-18k to resupply them.

Each log I would get about 30k from trading.

So I tried minimizing risk, the next day I get 13k from my fleet log, which meant my other 17k must have been automatically reinvested into supplies right?

Nope, instead I'm left with another 80% foods/supplies bar once again, I have 0 clue where did my 17k go.

So yeah, if you wanna somewhat maintain your supplies/foods, you pretty much need to have 1 on patrol/plunder. Because clearly minimizing risk is not working at all, and no I'm not convinced that "well maximum profit is supposed to give you extra rewards". No it does not, it's just an illusion of choice when you know the fact that the money gained from your fleet is going right back to the fleet to keep it running.

So yeah don't do minimize risk, do maximum profit until we get another fix on this or something.
