[Atrocities]

Lack of Resources means that you have depleted your supply of resources, minerals, organics, and radioactives and are now use more than your able to produce.

Yes you can upgrade ships by moving them to a world with a construction yard then click on the green recycle triangle on the top row of icons near the right side of your screen. Click on the design you wish to upgrade and then click upgrade. You can only upgrade designs of that are the same. For example if you select Rock Colony and Ice Colony together to upgrade the upgrade button will be darkened out. However if you select all rock colony ships to upgrade to ice colony ships then the button will show. You will see once you start to use it.

The best way to slow the loss of resources to to opne your master build que, the crane icon on the left, and sort the list by USAGE. The ques that are using the most resources can be independently put on hold.

Also prioritise how you colonize and go for Mineral, Organic, and Radioactive extraction III as soon as you can. Also build resource mining ships using the remote mining components, only one type of component per design, and send them to the asteroids. I like to design Mineral, Org, and Rad remote mining ships. Each ship is then sent to the best asteroid for its resource type. One ship per asteroid so make sure that you build BIG ships when you can. The bigger they are the more they mine.
