Re: "I have also had mineral "depleted" from all of my planets, and I am still receiving Minerals every turn....is this part of the same bug?"

I would think not -- I'm not even certain that this is a "bug" or whether it reflects inadequate documentation regarding finite resources. In a finite resources game, there is even production of resources when the player has no production facilities to match -- I'm assuming that the 200kT "free" production in each Category is always there, whether one has colonies or not.

I've even had cases where I would continue to receive resources in trade even when my empire had been dismantled to the point of possessing only starships, but no colonies.

Resources are a mystery to me.
