Default Ai testing : what to do when the AI stops building ?

That's the situation : My AI is at war with another AI. It's attacked in its systems, and for many turns, planets built nothing ! (only a base goes on building ships).
It's even more strange that there are plenty resources left.

What could be the problem ?

Are there any riots?
Does the AI build absolutely nothing (no units, ships and facilities)?
How much resources do you have in store?
How much net resources per turn are produced?

Built your AI resource storages? I saw it in the past: if the AI has not some of them, simply doesn't build anything.

How do you check that planets do not build anything ? By looking on construction queu ? It may be misleading - AI may build units for one turn - it leaves queu empty at the begining. Or is it nothing build according to turn log ? If the latest, insert more calls for units in construction.txt file.

AI indeed like to use bases for shipbuilding reserving planets for unit building (ai never build units on orbital shipyards). Make AI build more base shipyards, it may help.

Another suggestion - maximise "percentage maintenance cost" or something like this in AI_settings. Make it 99% ! You may need to regenerate .emp file for this to take an effect.
