My ships won't unmothball! --They do now though.

[Slick]

Could you define the bug a little better?

From what I have read, you had enough resources in storage to cover the unmothball, but did you have enough to cover ALL actions that come out before income is added - like retrofits? Maybe retrofits happen before unmothballing and those were lowering the stored resources to the point where the unmothball failed.

Second, you mentioned that the problem seemed to go away when you took the planet with the resource converter off "repeat orders". Are you sure this was the problem? and is the amount of resources converted per turn relevant? Because what if the resources needed for the unmothball were greater than the amount in storage (before resource conVersion). The unmothball would fail if it occurred before the resource conVersion.

Please add a little more detail to make sure we nail down the exact problem and I'll add it to the FAQ on the next update.

edit: I *think* ship maintenance comes out before unmothballing. Could that have created the problem?

edit2: I had a similar problem with my Resource Converter planet on "repeat orders". The problem was that I kept adding in orders to do resource conVersions such that the game was executing multiple resource conVersions every turn (when I thought I had only ordered one conVersion) which was completely draining my storage of organics.

Thanks,
Slick.
