Default Re: lack of resource bug

I have the mod pack loaded because the AIs fight better, especially the Xichung (all AIs should fight as good as they do). The lack of resources for the AI doesn't usually occur until near game turn 150 at least in the modpack. The AI is usually a terror in the beginning especially with a low or medium bonus, but if you can survive till turn 150, the AI strangles itself. The problem is not with production, but having no storage buffer and how the AI spends it; also found what maybe a bug. If you try to build a facility that needs 3000 points and can build with 1000 a turn but you only have 500, the game will use up the 500 and not do anything, it is lost without any gain. If you leave the queque turned on, every turn it will try to build the facility not have enough resources and stop, even though the two turns together were enough resources. If you put the queque on hold the resource is saved until the next turn and then you can take the queque off hold and build. The AI is not smart enough to do that. It will just leave it in the queque, it will never be built and it will just constantly burn up resources. The AI will also constantly try to retrofit ships with cargo. The retrofit will fail, but the AI won't unload the cargo it will just constantly try to retrofit and nothing will get built. I do not know if this also burns up resources. I can start a new game tonight - any specific paramenters?
