When you found a corporation, you're able to trade for the same resources that corporation consumes multiple times. However, I've been having a bug in my latest game where I'm suddenly no longer able to do this -- the resources in question are in red in the diplomacy screen, and I get the "surely you must be joking message" as if I hadn't founded the corporation in the first place.

If you post a save, we can check it; but I'm sure its not a bug. Just having the corporation doesn't guarantee that anyone wants to trade you their resources - just like having a cathedral doesn't guarantee that anyone wants to trade you incence. It probably means that the other civs simply don't want you to get the benefit. Are these civs with border-line relations with you?

I'm sure this isn't the case, as one of the other civs in question is a colony of mine. Here's the save where the problem is occurring:
156922

If you look at my active trades, you can see this wasn't the case earlier, as I'm trading for multiple fish, clams and crabs.

Thanks! I'll have a look when I get home. :)

Has this issue ever been resolved? I'm having the same bug (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6115889&postcount=987)in my current game with Bhruic's unofficial patch.
