I don\'t understand economics
It's on PBW, and my empire has been broke for some time - no good mineral planets, too many ships.
Then I colonize a great, tasty mineral planet  , my net ressources (in all areas) get positive for about 0.5 years, yet every turn I get "lack of resources" Messages (although I always have about +5.000 in minerals), and my "resources in treasury" are still close to zero!
How come?  |

Re: I don\'t understand economics
Gorgo,
I have not looked at his for some time, but I think you take out expenses for your empire before you add revenue. This might lead to not having enough resources in treasury before adding to them. (Maybe a wild guess). There was a thread a little while ago about this topic, try looking at the thread on the resource income bug? dated Sep 06 by Puke.
Can you send us a saved game or a screenshot?
Maybe someone can see something?

Re: I don\'t understand economics
Gorgo, you didn't, say, but could your apponets be using intel, ie: steal resources or trade disruption against you? or some of the other intel ways to ruin your resources?? Also with crumy planets, research those that give you bonus's, like system wide or planet wide facilities. I also believe that maintenance for all your units etc, is deducted after everything is added but not sure. I would ask SJ, Puke, Atrocities, or some of the other modders, if anyone knows it would be one of them..

Re: I don\'t understand economics
Possible problems:
- Intel ops destroying your resources
- No spaceport in the system
- Non-budget expenses (retrofitting can reduce your resources without being noted on your budget screen)
- Storage overflow? (your storage maxes out at say, 50K, but you are trying to spend more than 50K per turn?)

Re: I don\'t understand economics
When there is an intel op against you, do you receive a message saying what happened?
IIRC there is a message. Does this not also apply to this type of op?
