In reaction of fixed problem june 15: When I start a new game choosing 0 debt, and get into the game the debt/reserve in the upper line of the main screen is not 0 but ( It seems like) a random figure. (v1,06). Is there any relation between these items?
When I do the same, my debt is exactly the same as the defecit for that turn. I think the game simulates one turn before you start. On turn 0, it sets the debt to 0 and then simulates turn 1 and since you were running a defecit you take on some debt.
Is your debt not the same as the defecit?

It simulates lots of turns before start to settle situations and statistics.
There is one off calculation error with debt it seems.
We do simulate a lot of turns (32 I think) but it might be that we only calculate debt/deficit stuff for the last turn before the game starts. (not at dev PC right now). So it might be impossible to get an exact 0 starting debt, but it should be some reasonable (deficit/surplus) number. Are you getting an insanely big number? any chance of a screenshot?
I have worked it out a little more:
Only changed the starting debt

And can conclude that the figures are in proportion…
