There are a lot of things that you should know before beginning the game such as how politics and economics works. Paradox Development Studio has released this game 12 years since the last one, Victoria II, and players must have been waiting a long time. There are sure to be a lot of new players as well, which is why we have some guides for you. In this guide, we will take you through the process of how to use goods in Victoria 3.

Goods are required to supply a building and increase the output so that supply can meet the demand. The supply is provided by the buildings while the demands or needs of the pops must be met. If this does not happen, several negative consequences can occur. Your pops might end up losing jobs and money and living a lower quality of life. Make sure to keep up with the demands of the people, so that no one is left wanting.
You will be able to harvest some goods from the natural resources of the game such as wood, ores and grain. It’s a good idea to keep a store of them—but not too large otherwise the market will crash with an oversupply of goods.
Now that you know more about goods, let’s see what they’re used for:
Supply Production
Use goods in buildings to create more of a product which has low supply. You will be able to create new and different products in this way, and have people buy them.
Satisfy Wants
Pops will always need goods in order to satisfy themselves, just like people do in real life. Make sure you have a lot of necessary goods and well as indulgent ones.
Trading
You can trade goods with other countries and make a profit. This is a good way to get some extra cash in the game, as you might find yourself falling into debt at times.
