Can't invest in Premiul Steel in Govern Yhilin 3

Nosfaerin

After returning from Zirantia trip, I'm on Govern Yhilin 3, and I desire to invest in Premium Steel. The price is 100k, I dont get why I cant use some of my remaining 20% personal discretionary funds for this (I have the Slum petition house already).

Judging by the walkthrough's calculation for personal discretionary funds, 10% is roughly 100k. I dont get why the game isn't allowing me, through Megail, to invest in Premium Steel at this time.

Since the Personal Discretionary Funds are your own money, in the game, why can't I pull from that total to invest in Premium Steel? Similary in reverse, I have 15k Pron unspent, why can't I use that as part of my personal discretionary funds? I know it likely wouldnt move the needle and send me into a higher percentage bracket available, but still, the segregation of pron and personal discretionary funds doesnt make sense, since they are both supposed to be Simon's money that he is stealthily using.

Thank you for any clarification!

BTW I was told by Grim8P on the discord not to make this a bug post, since it may not be a bug but rather a design oversight. Just to explain why I didnt put this in the bug thread.

It just seems weird to me that the Personal Discretionary Funds aren't in Pron to begin with. I'm curious the decision to make it a percentage threshold thing, despite it being Simon's personal money, the same as previous investment periods.

That's the way it is and it ain't realistically gonna get changed.

DukeLeto7 If the devs dont have time I get it, but I would still appreciate any background as to WHY its like this.

You would have to ask SierraLee. She usually responds on Discord so that's your best bet.

Be aware that it's a VERY long game that has been in development since something like 2015. She may no longer remember what her thinking was when she implemented the Personal Discretionary Funds system. Be prepared that there may be no answer for you.

DukeLeto7 Ah ok, thank you I'll do that. Thanks for the warning, this game is quite a labour of love, and I appreciate it very much. Its not just a porn game, its a whole-ass epic fantasy visual novel. Like Final Fantasy but R rated instead of PG.
