How do they work exactly cos i had a SO at 43 and there were 10 mil bushels at 42$ and i didn't get any of them

then i raised my SO to 44 again around 6mil bushels at 42-43$ again i got nothing... this isn't ok

so why only the biggest SO get the food when others have had SO before the biggest?

recycling orders is my guess aka you had had earlier some of your order filled so you dropped to bottom.

SOs work on a queue system. Imagine your SOs standing in a queue of a long line of SOs, the food that appears on the market checks one by one down the line of SOs to see if it satisfies the requirements for being purchased.

Once an SO buys any amount of goods (even if its just 1 bushel), if the SO is not fully completed yet, it is sent to the back of the queue. Yes, 3 SOs gives you 3 positions in the queue. If your SO has not purchased any goods for a random amount of time between 72-96 hours, your SO is also moved to the end of the queue.

This does mean that cheaper SOs get filtered to the front of the line over time, and they are likely to be the ones that actually get the cheap stuff.
